This is embarrassing, but I don't think I'm doing the anagram right. Some of the letters are close together, which is confusing me...Can anybody help me through it? Personal Post or whatever?
Many thanks. Fib |

You can always do what Banachek,Nu,Waters,Kurts,Waters,Dymant and others did.
Come up with your own version. |

I know what you mean, it hurts my brain if I look at it to long.
I have used Banacheck's Method as given in his wonderfull book about Contact Mind Reading (cant be botherd to type out its full title). But the idea in Deadly Mentalism is good.

Although I was already familiar with the said diagram, when I read deadly mentalism I felt his instructions on how to use the diagram was not clear AT ALL

As I see it from the diagram the letter followed by the dashes means call this letter, if you get a negative then it's this sign, otherwise drop down to the next level. The 'A' on its own (third line from the bottom) isn't necessary just call 'Q' The layout doesn't ease the memorisation. You might wish to re-write this in a clearer fashion. Does this help. Can you be more specific as to where you are having difficulty.

Mr. Kinesis,
I think I'm actually getting it now. Thank you for motivating me to write it down and think about it. The problem is, the author bunches up the letters of the alphabet and the horoscope signs. So -- if you're impatient like me -- it's a bit confusing what direction you're supposed to go. Still, it was my fault. I easily get irritated with material I don't understand or I feel just won't work with the public. Mish, your point is excellent. Anybody who thought up such strong misdirection is likely to have an effect worth consideration. thanks, Fib |

Disclaimer: I market a monograph on Zodiac sign divination, so my opinions on this version may be biased.
I am not a fan of Mr. Rayot's book. His Zodiac "anagram" is certainly not original; it's simply a copy of Tom Waters' version. Which happens to be the worst "progressive anagram" I've ever seen... so bad that I purposely didn't even mention it in my own work (it has more "error" branches than other solutions, and provides no justification for any of the wrong guesses, completely missing the point of this type of effect). Rayot's only apparent contribution is a comment to the effect that he does this by watching the spectator's throat, but doesn't bother to say what he's looking for, how he exploits it, or why this might be expected to work. The second half of the effect consists of some blatant fishing, beginning with "guessing" (?!) the month after you know the star sign! So I, for one, do not find this a compelling effect. ... Doug

Fib, I’m sorry, but if you really are interested in this specific effect, don’t wait another minute and get Dyment manuscript.

With regard to the throat watching, go here:

Thanks, enrique and doug dyment
I made an online purchase of Mr. Dyment's manuscript just a few days ago. Really curious to see how the effect is performed like mind-reading, not a contrivance. thanks |
