How To Perform Sensational Memory Feats

Buyer beware! Most effects here aren't suitable for the performer who likes to work alone. Many of them are suitable only for stage presentation with all the help a stage gives the performer. Parlor or close-up workers will have difficulty using some methods (if they even manage to adapt them). The card memory test and the giant memory demonstration can be worked by the solo perfomer and are indeed good effects. The magazine test requires a prop no longer easy to find. The serial number memory test assumes you'll know how to make a key move without offering detailed instructions on how to hide it.

If you perform on a theater stage, don't mind some typos and have assistants to help you, well and good. If you like solo work and perform mainly close-up or parlor, you'll find just 2 or 3 effects here that are workable. I'm giving it 2 stars because I expected more material for the solo performer.
