Aspects of Mentalism / Mentalism A La ModePeter WilkerMentalism without playing cards. From the introduction: It is undoubtedly true that published material on card tricks, be it books or articles, far exceeds all other magical publications taken together. What is the next most often treated special subject? Is it coins? Silks? Or is it mentalism? Although I cannot prove it, I think it is mentalism. So why another book on mental magic if there are already quite enough of them around and very good ones at that? The answer is not easy to give. I have chosen aspects, or subjects, which are not easily found anywhere else, some of which are... | ★★★★★ $15 to wish list | |

A Wicked Pack of CardsPhilemon VanderbeckI've been working on an act designed specifically for comedy clubs based on the premise of "a wicked pack of cards." I have a 'volunteer' select a card, and I then proceed to give the worst possible interpretation of it. The deck I'm using is "Morgan's Tarot," an unusual 86-card deck that bears little relationship with a normal Tarot deck. I found its simple black and white drawings and irreverent card titles to be apropos... | ★★★★★ $6.66 to wish list | |

A Counterblast to Spookland or Glimpses of the MarvellousPsycheThis is the answer of spirit mediums to the book Spookland which revealed some tricks and spirit medium frauds. Excerpt from the Preface: The popular mind has been more or less strongly exercised of late by the exposure of a supposed fraudulent séance given by the well-known materializing Sensitive of Sydney. This "exposure" has been all the more astonishing because of the long record of successes by this Sensitive in the old world, and also in our Southern Hemisphere; striking and undoubted successes dating back from mere girlhood, and based upon evidence profuse and apparently reliable, both... | $9 to wish list | |

One Man Mind Reading SecretsRalph W. ReadFrom the introduction:
In general, the effects produced by a person working alone are the same as those presented by performers employing one or more assistants. While there are many tests, such as divining the names of chosen cards, numbers, names, etc., the large majority of these acts consists in the performer's revelation of facts concerning questions secretly written by the spectators. Of course, the performer must, in all cases, ascertain through some secret means what has been written in order to play the role of mind reader, and it is these secret methods that are disclosed in the... | $10 to wish list | |
