...i'd just like to share this (from Still More Miracles in Mentalism - Nelson)…VOL 3
"This little gem of an effect, based upon an age old stratagem, has been a favourite of mine since I first prepared it back in the late 30s whilst performing as a mentalist on the Cunard Line cruises. <sic> My reasons for developing this particular routine was to meet the two demands. First, I was constantly being asked by people to informally "read their minds" and secondly, I was anxious to get my business cards into the hands of interested persons..." Fredric Kolb - Business Card Telepathy So remember, the needs of a mentalist haven't changed that much, and many would perform socially to harvest interest/leads/get their business cards handed out... It tickled me that the above is now nearly 100 years old and is still relevant, AND a nifty little effect still...

That is awesome (and soooooo true,) Iain.
Now curious if any mentalists were on board the White Star Line in 1912..... Bryn

The image is great Matthew, I now have a new background on my desktop.
No matter how many times you say the wrong thing, it will NEVER be right.
If I'm not responding to you? It's because you're a TROLL! |
