The Calostro Mind Reading Act by Ralph W. Read
"This system is, without doubt, the crowning achievement in this line. The author, an exponent of the mystic art for over thirty years, and former magic dealer, is widely known for his many original contributions in the field of Mind Reading, Spiritualism and Psychic Phenomena. Among these world-famous creations were the 'Wireless Mind Reading Act', the 'Talking Teakettle', the 'Spirit Telephone', the 'Improved Reading of Written Messages', etc. These are all outstanding effects and you will find this equally true of 'The Calostro Mind Reading Act'." - Robert W. Doidge

From the introduction:

It is a new, complete and perfect system for doing the "Question Answering Act," requiring two persons whom we shall call the performer and the medium. Once acquired, you are ready to present the act on a moment's notice, at any time or place, stage, hall, platform, club, residence, or on the open prairie - all you need is an audience who have questions they wish answered.

I have received the e-book. I understand the mnemonic system used. I know the Major System and the Dominic O'Brian system and the Andi Bell system. I had a field day. Loved the Book. I give it a 5-star.
