Yes, you heard it correctly.
A Baker's Dozen Hummers includes the rare 1946 Hummer manuscript,
Thotography. Don't take our word for it that this is a stunner of an effect. Here are two unbiased reports from the magic press about this effect:
"Thotography is an effect that has fooled the wise ones." - Dell O'Dell in the Linking Ring
"Thotography baffled magicians at the Conclave in Austin, Texas. Any card in any deck located while blindfolded." - A. L. Baldwin, MD in the Linking Ring
