While on the subject, which book of Annemann do you refer to? And now that we are talking about a book of Annemann, please refer to a book that Annemann wrote.

Practical Mental Magic I would assume?

Well I guess Gus meant that Practical Mental Magic was actually written 1944 by a gentleman named J.Crimmins,Jr., two years after Annemanns' tragically death. So in common language we always talk about Anemanns book when referring to PMM.

Crimmins wanted to compile the, he thought, best effects out of The Jinx into one book. But unfortunately if you compare some routiens to the original in The Jinx you will notice that sometimes he did some improvements which not always are to advantage of the routine. But though it became one of the classic books in mentalism.

Though I wold suggest to get hold of 'The Jinx' since there are many more amazing routines in it. Every time I browse through this I find some new effects or methods I can use in my act.

You're absolutely right. I just think Annemann deserves to be credited for the
right things. Jinx is absolutely powerstuff.
