The secret mental equipment needed for your success as a mental performer. The late Axel Hellstrom, a German mental marvel, astounded the entire scientific world with his uncanny ability to read the thoughts of a person with whom he was in contact and to interpret these thoughts correctly. He would execute mental (not written) commands with lightning rapidity - find hidden articles wherever they were secreted - deliver sealed messages...

In short, it's a useful thing...

Most magicians are familiar with the Do-As-I-Do card trick, where both the magician and spectator select the same card from two different decks.
