THE BLURB:
Six of Annemann's classic effects presented by Stuart
Cumberland.

Pseudo Psychometry

The effect is pure classic: items are borrowed from
spectators while the mentalist's back is turned. One by one,
by handling the objects, the mentalist picks up vibrations
and gives uncanny psychic personality readings of the owner
that are remarkably correct! Not only that, the performer
returns each article correctly to the owner! It's mysterious
and amazing! Done properly, you'll have a crowd eager for
personal readings after your show. Such power!

You get my personal presentation of this reputation-building
effect.

It's cliche to say, but this presentation is worth 10 times
what I'm asking for this book. Why?

Because for the first time ever, I'm revealing my secret to
NEVER getting stumped when giving readings and how every
reading I give is unique, fits the person to a 'T' and NEVER
fails to amaze.

The problem with most mentalists is they get caught up in
the trick. The most important part is the reading. Most just
wing it. They stumble... or worse... they give canned
memorized "cold readings". They stumble and they suck.

You won't suck. Guaranteed. Give me one night and I'll give
you a powerful presentation that will make a local legend
out of you!

Best part: my idea is so easy that you will wonder why you
never thought of it. It's awesome.

Dead Men Tell No Tales

Do this any time, anywhere. It's as close to real
mindreading as you can get. No billets, no glimpses, no
trick pads... nothing. Just a miracle.

Effect: Spectator takes an unprepared pad and pencil and
while the mentalist turns his back writes down six names on
a pad. Five names are people he knows who are alive. One
name is that of a dead person. Mentalist turns back, takes
the pad and asks the person to concentrate. He scratches,
one by one, names off of the list. The spectator finally
reveals the dead name. When the mentalist turns the pad...
the only name left is the dead name!

The method is bold and gutsy. Most are afraid to try it.
I'll give you tips, suggestions, patter and presentation
that will give you the courage to try it. And once you've
had success with it, you'll do as I have done... you'll keep
using it!

It's a true mindblowing Living & Dead Test that people
remember for a long time.

Test Of The Tiber

I'm reluctant to even teach this one. "Everyone" knows it,
but I have NEVER seen anyone do it. Annemann considered it
to be one of his greatest creations and used it in his act
for over 10 years...

Effect: An ordinary phonebook is borrowed. It's unprepared
in any way. A volunteer is asked to be a judge and sit in a
chair on stage. He initials a piece of paper. He points to
anyone in the audience. This person secretly writes a 3
digit number. This paper is passed to another person who
writes a single digit number from 1 to 9. The performer DOES
NOT know what the 3 digit number is nor does he know the
single digit. NOR DOES HE TOUCH the paper as this last
person personally delivers it to the judge. The judge
verifys his initials, opens the book to the 3 digit page
number and counts down to the name selected by the last
person.

The mentalist proceeds to NAME the person AND as a kicker...
reveals the PHONE NUMBER.

This effect is HUGE. I've performed it for small groups and
on big stages with large audiences.

My presentation is a "challenge" presentation and NEVER
fails to entertain, amaze and astound.

I'll take you personally step-by-step through the routine,
get past the confusing parts and show you how to make this
YOUR personal reputation maker.

No gaffs. No special props. A basic knowledge of billets is
required.

Mystery Of The Blackboard

A moneymaker for me. Perfect if you're looking for something
'visual' and ideal if you want to fill the stage.

Effect: Three volunteers come on stage. A large pad is on
the stage along with a marker. The mentalist is blindfolded,
led to the opposite side of the stage with his back turned
to the pad. Each volunteer is invited to participate. One
writes a three-digit number. One writes a word. One draws a
basic picture. The paper is torn off and the members return
to the audience. Blindfolded still, the mentalist invites
the audience to send him the thoughts. He then reproduces
the number, word and picture with dramatic flair and to
thunderous applause!

All the presentation tips, script and more to make this a
huge success. Learn what to use, what not to use and why.

$1000 Test Card Location

Chances are, if you're doing this effect, you aren't doing
it to it's full presentation potential. And if you aren't
doing it, you should! It blows minds!

Effect: Mentalist demonstrates a fun card trick. He then
offers to demonstrate telepathy. A volunteer shuffles the
cards, cuts them repeatedly until satisfied and then looks
at a card. This card is shoved into the middle of the deck.
The deck is put aside. The mentalist looks into the
volunteers eyes and... REVEALS THE CARD.

Tips, tricks and suggestions on making this you pet trick.
This one is a jaw dropper, literally as it stuns those who
see it. It seems so fair and above board. Best part: it's
EASY to do.

Easy Design Duplication

I'm saving this one for the book. It's so easy it's
embarrassing. It is strong and it plays very well, but
magicians often poo-poo it for being too simple. It's pure
Annemann, and it's a terrific effect.

MY COMMENTS:
A mentalist not having the complete works of Annemann, or
being familiar with them, is like a preacher not owning, and
being unfamiliar, with the Bible. I'm serious. Everybody's
looking for the hot new mental effect and they overlook
classics such as Ted Annemann's work. This material was
powerful when he did it nearly one hundred years ago and
it's still powerful now. Sure, it needs to be tweaked a bit
in terms of handling and presentation to reflect modern
times and techniques, but not much.

That's where Stuart Cumberland comes in. He discovered this
eye-opening fact years ago and has been performing almost
exclusively his variations of Annemann's routines. And he
performs at corporate venues collecting four figure fees
while performing routines that are nearly hundred years old!
Ya gotta love it, right?

In this three-part series, Stuart tips the work he's done on
eighteen Annemann classics, six per e-book. Here's my take
on the six presented here. As usual, my comments are
additions to what has been said in the blurb, so read that
first, if you haven't yet.

Pseudo Psychometry is a mentalist's staple. To date, there
are countless variations and "improvements" in the method.
The original is still the best and simplest. Stuart
revisits this, plus gives some great cold reading tips that
make this one of the most enduring classical mentalist
routines ever!

Dead Men Tell No Tales looks like it can only be done with
real minding. In fact, Rick Maue recently took this same
plot and provided a brand new, powerful technique in his
Imagine. This uses a different technique, one that
mentalists are often apprehensive to try, but it's essential
for mentalists to learn how to do.

Mystery of the Blackboard is a very simple blindfold
routine. After exploring all sorts of other blindfolds and
techniques, Stuart prefers a simple handkerchief over the
eyes. He discusses why this works so well and all the
handling details about the handkerchief you need to know.

Test of the Tiber is a terrific phone book test. The blurb
is a little unclear as to what happens. Let me clarify.
One spectator writes down a 3 digit number. Someone else
writes a single digit on the slip. A third person takes
that slip, opens the phone book to the number written down
by the first spectator, and uses the single number from the
second spectator to count down to an entry. The performer
reveals the number as described above. Very powerful and
very easy to do.

$1000 Test Card Location is a card effect (which may turn
off some folks right here), but it's a powerful and bold
one. The method may not be everyone's cup of tea because of
their apprehension to try it.

Finally, Easy Design Duplication is a very simple drawing
dupe of a chosen card. I didn't particularly find this one
to be as strong as the others. It's still good, though.
(And, yeah, another card trick!)

I'll say it again: Annemann's works must be on every
mentalist's bookshelf. Since this work discusses and
updates his work -- and does it well, natch, I can't
recommend this highly enough. Even if you already do these
effects, you'll appreciate Stuart's approach and insight
into these classic routines.
