Mind Divination Magic Trick

Effect

Effect

A word or sentence is written on a slip of paper and folded. This is held against the performer's forehead for a moment, but he does not touch the paper. He then writes upon another slip and hands it to a gentleman to hold. The first slip is opened and read out, upon which the gentleman holding the slip written by performer acknowledges that it agrees with the other writing.

Working

This is really a catch, but if due care is taken in the selection of an assistant the secret is not given away, and credit is given for a mystifying trick. It may at once be stated the performer has no knowledge whatever of the subject written upon the first slip until it

has been called out. He simply writes on his slip "Yes, exactly the same," and this he hands to his temporary assistant. The remainder of the working can be followed in the patter. An alternative method of producing the same effect is by writing "Say Yes" on the slip. The performer in that case asks his assistant, "Have I written that word upon my paper." It will be found that in most cases the assistant will appreciate the joke and answer "Yes."

Patter

Ladies and Gentlemen. Just a little experiment in mind divination. For this I should like to have the assistance of a gentleman with a good nerve. "I suggest an insurance agent. Not one present? Well, perhaps you, sir, would be good enough to assist. Please take this

slip of paper to that gentleman and ask him to kindly write a word upon it. When he has done that, please ask him to fold up the paper and return it to you. Thank you. I will now take the paper and hold it for a moment against the centre of my concentrated mind. It is

gradually forming. Yes, I can now see the letters distinctly. I will write them upon this slip and ask you, sir, to take charge of it. Now, will the gentleman who wrote down the word kindly read out what was written. Thank you. My assistant will tell the company what is written upon my slip. I am anxious that the audience shall see that my writing entirely agrees with that written by the gentleman. Now, sir (to assistant), You heard what that gentleman said was written upon his slip. What is written upon my slip? "Exactly the same."
