Annemann’s Complete One Man Mental And Psychic Routine Published in 1935. This is a rare original printing.
The pages have turned color but all of them are there. This is the first time that Annemann published the effects and methods for a complete mental and psychic stage show act. So much of what is being done today had its roots in this book. A nice piece of history for any quality library.
Contents:
1. Introduction (Theo. Annemann): a complete series of effects that can be put together to form an entire 20-30 minute act
2. Requisites: minimal preparation required
2. Billet Switching: hints and tips on billet switching with two methods described
5. Magic vs. Mindreading: Magician vs. Mindreader is presented in the selection of a card from a deck of cards. Both versions reveal the selection.

8. The Dead Name Test: a living and dead test
10. The New Nile Divination: Spectator 1 writes down a 2-digit number; Magician has 5 spectators write down 1 digit number and adds them up. The total matches the 2-digit number.
