Most magicians and mentalists are aware of the mental logs trick. Although built on a great principle, it has mostly been a mathematical novelty where the utmost you can display is your math wizardry.

The scope of X Ray Mental Logs is quite large. Without using actual mental logs and even without mentioning the mental logs, using just 3 pre printed cards, you can engage a parlor size audience for about 30 minutes with different effects and routines.

Impromptu mentalism is usually improvised but certain effects may be prepared in advance if they are presented as impromptu ideas. Somewhat like the comic who memorizes thousands of one-liners and seems to create them off the top of his head.

Most magicians and mentalists are aware of the mental logs trick. Although built on a great principle, it has mostly been a mathematical novelty where the utmost you can display is your math wizardry.

Invisible Mental Logs now takes this math novelty into the realm of impossible miracle phenomenon where you can perform this as a masterful mind reading stunner. This can now be a big important part of your main set or can even be performed as a powerful closer.

A punch-packed 5-phase routine and a killer bonus routine are explained. However you can choose to perform any one, two or three...

Most cyclical stacks are based on either mathematical progressions (Si Stebbins) or nonsense rhymes ("Eight Kings" and John Mulholland''s "Hungry Jackass.") While memorized stacks, such as the Nikola explained in Encyclopedia of Card Tricks, allow for the fastest determination of a cards position...

And the best part is, to perform this, the performer need not know any stacks at all. No memory work. No math work. Only polished presentation and pure showmanship.

"IMHO it is a very valuable book with new views and observations in the Si Stebbins field. You describe 8 not 6 stacks. Very Interesting! Its logical by a mathematical point of view but up to now overlooked by magicians. This is IMHO...

The authorship of this book is not entirely clear, but Frikell is a likely author of at least good parts of the book. However, most likely it is a compilation of material from different sources with potentially a number of editors and compilers. Some of the other names associated with this book are H.L. Williams, George Arnold, Frank Cahill, and John Wyman, Jr. The book covers not only magic tricks of various kinds, but also a lot of what we would call today "kitchen table top experiments" in fields ranging from mechanical and chemical to optical, math and others. It also features a section...
