In computer science, it's a binary search. Actually this is not completely true: binary search minimizes the number of questions, a branching anagram minimizes the number of mistakes.

Here is an old Max Maven "Progressive Algorithm" that I performed way back in 2005. It was my first BA and I've attempted to improve my presentation and method over the last seven years. I use something much different currently. I will also try to post a performance by Tom Cutts as soon as my tech help gets it on youtube. Hope it helps your research. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KR2kPcv97yg&feature=related

If you open any Computer Science Book you will find several algorithms about
the Binary Decision Trees. In magic, it is just a simple application of these algorithms. These Trees are used for many purpose and some of them are: fast searching or data sorting. Here something you can build using the Binary Decision Tree: http://www.20q.net/ Progressive Anagram is just a possible application. MP |

Hi,
Thank you all for your references and pointers. It's amazing how much more turns up searching when you are looking for the correct (anagram) term I found this thread with a post from 2010 Dick Christian that Davit Sicseek alluded to which expands on some details of the history: http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewt......forum=15 Thanks for the link Slim King. I like the idea of "chopping" up the letters into the crystal ball metaphor. I've been a hard core card sleight guy for 20+ years and other than a brief look through a Marc Paul booklet I've never tried any mentalism. Very interesting and thanks again for the crediting. Cheers, Mark |

Hi All,
I've been away for a while and found this thread, to my amusement. The "Mental Illusion" on my site (blogg) is a JavaScript version of "branching anagrams". I just now made a public version here: http://xerxx.se/sc/mentalIllPub.php Enjoy, XerxX (As it's pure JavaScript, the source-code is in the HTML-source if you want to study it)
