Eyes - Cont'd from page 2160 back, under your coat. The working becomes obvious, once you memorize the size of the marbles and their respective colors. The smallest marble will go through both holes. The second marble will go through only one hole. And the largest marble will go through neither hole. Richard Webster, the popular New Zealand mystic, devised this effect for use at a convention of travel agents. It went over so well that he has added it to his regular routine. Audience reaction...

Some years ago, a survey of college graduates revealed that more than 70 per cent believed a body double exists, somewhere in the world, for each of us. When the same question was asked of women, the positive response was slightly higher. It is against this backdrop that Canada's Rudy Hunter has devised this provocative presentation. The effect works equally wel1, whether performed for one person or in conjunction with a routine for a small group. Can you imagine a replication - a body double...

NOTE Well-known to readers of MAGICK for his audience-proven ideas and well-thought-out presentational concepts, the author has worked successfully for such diverse audiences as those provided by high-fee private parties and television's prime-time viewing hours. In this special Bonus Insert, he discusses his current use of a much-maligned and over-exposed device, which, he feels, has been prematurely discarded by too many within the profession. A rash of exposures in books, magazines, and...

Sooner or later, in any gathering of psychic entertainers, you'll encounter an argument over the role, if any, of playing cards in mental ism.

Those supporting the use of cards point to such effects as The Tossed Out Deck, Out of This World, and A1 Koran's presentation for The Princess Card Trick. Here, David Kaput describes a...

Few mental effects can match the visual power and excitement of this audience-proven presentation, devised and used by one of mental ism's hardest-working female psychic entertainers. The effect is particularly suited to large audiences, and is easily made up and quickly mastered. It's part of the regular program of Billie Rean, co-star and co-producer of the long-running Kansas City television show, Mind Probe. The effect enables her to spotlight her near-intuitive ability to deliver incisive...
Dr Charles Scott
David Hoy, called the psychic to the NOW generation, originated and popularized the effect known as the Tossed-Out Deck, writing under the name of Dr. Faust. In the effect, a deck of playing cards is shuffled, banded together with a stout rubber band, and tossed into the audience, where one or more spectators are each allowed to peek at, and remember, individual cards. Only the spectators see the cards they select, yet the psychic entertainer is able to correctly reveal the card or cards they...

show them the faces of the picture cards, thumbing the cards rapidly from one hand to the other. Then, you hand the face-down packet to the woman, and ask her to thoroughly mix it. As she begins, you pick up a piece of white cardboard, about 6x9-inches in size. Earlier, I wrote something on the back of this cardboard, you explain, but for the moment, I WON'T show you what I have written. Instead, you ask the woman to deal a single, face-down card onto the back of the cardboard, which you hold...

MORE ESP CARD-READING TECHNIQUES By Gene Nielsen NOTE In MAGICK 413, Canada's Rudy Hunter described an ingenious system for doing personalized psychic readings with ESP symbol cards. One advantage of the system was that it capitalized on the widespread recognition lay individuals accord the Rhine symbols. The system was easy-to-master, while the credibility assigned to the symbols tended to enhance the credibility of the reading itself. Hunter simply assigned reading cues to each of the five...
