Regarding the booklet Worauf beruht das?: I found the copy that Jimmy Bix gave me -- he has republished it -- and it is basically a very thin outline of some of the principles that are in Mindreading and Telepathy. It doesn't really go into the detail that the larger book has. Basically, it's about 1/10 of the information.
I should point out that in both books, Hanussen describes false tricks, as he calls them. That is, he explains how other mindreaders deceived the public, not that he would ever do such a thing, you understand. He goes into much more detail in the larger book.

He corrected my statement that he does not read German. Actually he does read it, and translated many of the items you see in his various books about Germany. I was misinformed. In any case, translating Worauf beruht das? would actually be pointless at this time. It does not contain any information that is not available in the other book, and it isn't as complete as far as the real details of "the work" is concerned. Some have accused Dr. Gordon of pinching material from the Kugel book. I don't think this is the case. The books are not at all alike. For one thing, Mel Gordon's book is actually fun to read!

Bill,
Thanks for the information. I was wondering if Peter Lorre ever talked about Hanuussen or mentioned him in articles? Apparently there was a connection. -Woodfield |

Mel Gordon was my college drama history teacher at NYU from 1976-1980. Just thought I'd throw that out there. Fascinating guy. Funny as heck, too.

Han Fans should also consider checking out the 2001 film Invincible.
Tim Roth plays the part of Hanussen. |

Is Istvan Szabo's film "Hanussen" with Klaus Maria Brandauer any good? Not that I'd necessarily expect it to be historically accurate, but anyone know of this is of interest?

From the info from the forward to this book, have any known copies of Hanussen's 300 page book 'Die Weltseele' survived?
Will it be only H&R who get signed copies of this title? Great info in this thread, thanks! As far as Iain's original question, I'm currently researching Rasputin, the RJ Minney book is very thoroughly researched and gives a solid sense of who he was. The Seventh Sense by Lyn Buchanan, a "psychic spy", is loaded with useful info about RV for DD routines etc. Theyre practically giving these books away too. MT. |

Who's doing the translation and when is expected to be ready? |

The translation is done by a professional translator who is not known in the magic field. Exactly when it will be ready I can't tell you. I don't want to make promises but my expectation is sometime later this year.
