An unbelievable test wi-lh a book!

Any person chooses any word from a book and the

Mentalist divines or predicts the word! Even more unbelievable are the conditions! The spectator

holds the book in his own hands and has an absolute free choice of aflY word on any page! The Uniword! The Mentalist stands seve­ral feet away or across the room and never approaches the spec­tator!

THE GIMMICKI You have received a hard cover book of many pages. Leafing through the book you can see many words and everything appears normal. However, the book is gimmicked and has been specially printed.

The book has only two pages, left hand page and right hand page, plus the first page of chapter I and the last page.

A closer look at the right hand page will reveal that it con­tains only four words in different combinations!

These words ~re, "Action louder than words." You will be amaz~d that very few persons can detect that the

ri ght hand page :is ~ade up of only four words. The printer that set the type di0 not realize it until he was told!

Considerin'g tha.t the spectator is given a free choice of any word, and that he sees many words on the pages facing him, the contents of the rest of the book are not given any importance in the mind of the person doing the choosing.

You have also received an index card with a tiny window.

THE PRESENTNrIONI J\fter proposing a test with a book, give the index card to the spectator and tell him to stick it anywhere in~o the book and to open the book so that both pages, left and right are facing him, and caution him not to let anyone else see the pages.

Next instruct him to take the index card and rotate it about the right hand page and to stop at any word that he can plainly see through the small window. Now vou say, "Please choose a word of about from three to seven letters. Do not choose a very long word. I want you to be able to see the entire word through the window so that it will impress itself on your mind."

Of course there are no words longer than six letters o)~ p,horter that four, but no one knows it but you.

THE UNIWORD

fiN ilL MANN EXCLUSIVE

Assuming that the perso~ has chosen the right hand page and that he or she have chosen a word, you then proceed to read their minds. You say,

"Right away I get-the impression of a round letter. A letter "0." Does your chosen word contain an "O?"

Chances are that it does; since three out of the four words do. If he says No!, then you know it is the word 'than,' and you say that then the word must have an 'a' in-it"

If he admits that the word does contain an '0,' you continue by saying, "1 also see the letter 'd. ,,,

If he admits to 'd,' then you know the word is either 'louder' or 'words.' etc.

Then' you say, "You have chosen a word of more than five letters, right?" etc.

NOTE, If the person is right handed, he or she will invariably choose the right hand page.

You can also induce the choice of the right hand page by gesturing with another book and card and indicating with cir­cular movements what they are to do on the right hand page.

THE LEFT HAND PAGE, This page is ungimmicked and contains rn~ny words. It is this page that adds to the illusion making the book appear normal.

If the person chooses the left hand page, with the one a~ead system. Give the person a "Before you pic.l( a _word, I am going to write card. " Then yoj1 show a blank busincess card words p "The two. words chosen will be, 1. sign your name "at the bottom.

then you must proceed free choice and say down a word on this and then write the and 2. . " and

Flash the': card .. ·to the audience to show that you have written a message.

After the person chooses the word tell him or her to call it out so that the audience can hear it. Then say, "Now Please choose a word from the right hand page."

Then you find out the second word by pumping but do not tell the chosen word but say, "1 am going to write the word here also before you call it." 'r hen you write the first word called next to line 1. and then say, "And I am going to sign my name to make it official." But instead you write out the second word.

Then pass the card out to another member of the audience and tell thorn to read what you have written! End of Miracle.

RULE, Always take the book back from the audience as soon as the words are chosen. Never leave the book in their hands.

RULE II: Always treat the book as unimportant. Make believe that it just happen to be handy and of no further value. Put it away!

UNIWORD AN AL MJ\NN ~X.CLUSlVE

Mentalists have createq'a sensation by discovering a mistake in a book (mathematics, tor example) or telling the audience that the chosen page has a misprint, or blotch.

In UNIWORD, this principle can be used to also create a sen­sation. as follows,

In presenting UNIWORD the spectator only sees two pages, the left hand page and the right hand page that faces him as he opens the book. He has been given a free choice, of course, of opening the book to any page by sticking a card anywhere in the book.

Patterl "You have chosen a page freely, and from where I stand I ~ave no idea what the page looks like. But as you look at the book you see many words, both on the left hand page and on the right hand page, correct? Good so please show the pages to the audience. Just a flash, thank you." . "l\s you look at the left hand page, I am going to try to sense its contents. Please look only at the left hand page. -- I sense that there are at least four paragraphs plus I also see some quotation marks on the bottom. am I correct?

"I will not try to tell you the exact words at this time, but I can sense certain aspects of the pages you are looking at. Let's try the right hand page. There are at least three paragraphs there correct? Oh! Oh! I also sense a printer's error, a mistake or misprint or blotch on the lower right hand corner of the page! Correct? Please "tell the audience in a loud voice that I am correct. Thank ~ou. :Now let's try for a single word. Please notice that the "index card you are using has a little window so please rotat~ the card over the right hand page and stop at any word you .'choos.e. Do it quickly, please. You have a word? Good please concentrate on it and memorize it. Close the book and write your word on this slate so that the audience can see it But do not let anyone see it yet."

Take the book away from the spectator. Then follows the pumping for the correct word which you write

on another slate and then both slates are shown, for the dra­matic climax!

As can be seen, the Ublotch' gives room for much dramatics. UNIWORD is also available without the Blotch. Write me about it if you are interested.

Only 40 books have been printed so far with the 'blotch' so those of you who get it may be fortunate. ~VER allow anyone to riffle the pages of the book.

THE UNIWORD

JA AN AL MANN EXCLUSIVE

"lite VnaLUZi4If (M~W()'*'tt 'P'te4~'(}f!(,tJt4 EFFECT. A word chosen from a book is found predicted in

a sealed envelope locked' inside the Psychic's zipper pocket of his wallet!

METHOD. The most direct! Get four lightweight cheap wallets, the ones that sell for a dollar or two in the marketplace. Get some that contain a zipper pocket for best effect.

Each wallet predicts one of the four words of Uniword. The predictions are written in a long message and sealed in

a coin envelope and wax sealed.

THE PRESENTATIONI Do the Uniword book test and tell the spec­tator to callout his choice.

"That' is your choice?" you ask. Take back the book. Then take the book and show the audience that there are hun­

'dreds of words on the pages and that the person had a free choice! T hen say, "I want everyone to notice what I have locked in

the zipper compartment of my wallet." Then take out the correct wallet, open it and show the zipper

pocket and that it is closed. Say to the spectator, "Please take my wallet and open the zipper and take out a sealed envelope in ~ side, Open the envelope but please notice that it is officially sealed with wax and stamp,"

"Please read the message in the envelope so that everyone can hear,"

The effect is most profound, Gentlemen, so take advantage of it. .

An alternatLve method to the above would be to display a single wallet from the 'beginning. That can only be done with the Diplo­Mental Pouch . Or use two double envelopes in a Himber type wallet!

Or use two, double coin envelopes inside a double letter en-vel ope. " .

But, the above effect done with four wallets is the most di­rect. The reason is that no one will imagine that you carry four wallets simply because they have no reason to imagine it or that you carry one hundred wallets. Bear in mind that the audience imagines that they had a choice of any word in hundreds.

It is UNCANNY! So enjoy it.
