THE BLURB:
Animania is another great tool for the mentalist!

It appears to be an authentic "Telepathy Testing Card" from
the National Institute of Parapsychology.

Perfect for anytime, walk around and close up mentalism!
This is a complete routine that fits neatly in your wallet!
Be ready to perform a complete routine with just one card!

The card is about the same width as a credit card, but a
little taller, so it fits perfectly in a standard credit
card slot in any wallet.

Effect:
The performer displays a telepathy testing card from the
National Institute of Parapsychology. It is explained that
this card is from the "chromatology" (study of colors)
testing set, and this particular card pertains to animals.

The spectator is instructed to think on any one of the 16
animals on the card (completely free choice), and to
visualize the animal appearing in 4 different colors. No
words are spoken by the spectator, and no questions are
asked.

The performer immediately begins to reveal information about
the animal:

The spectator is asked to think of different characteristics
about the animal, such as its size, color, number of legs it
has, habitat, etc. (again, nothing is spoken by the
spectator, and no questions are asked).

"Imagine that you're touching this animal, imagine how it
feels. I get the sense that this is an animal with fur,
unlike a snake or a fish. Yes, brown fur. Also, this animal
has only two legs. Think about something this animal would
eat... that's a banana! You're thinking of a monkey!"

Of course, the performer is always correct.

tool

freely

MY COMMENTS:
Paul Carnazzi's Telepathy Testing Cards are about an 1/8" of
an inch taller than credit cards. They're a quarter of an
inch taller than the average credit card. I can not say
whether the cards are "durable and will last a long time,"
since I've not had them long.

If you're familiar with the work of Leo Boudreau, then you
probably know what this one is all about. There are sixteen
animals to choose from which are printed on both sides.
Technically, no questions are asked, but the participant is
given instructions to be followed and there are responses to
them. The animals are printed on the card in different
colors and the participant much imagine the chosen animal's
name in the different printed colors. Afterwards, the
performer correctly reveals the chosen animal.

Like the other cards in the set (SYMBOLISM and TESTING
CONDITIONS), there are some bonus psychological forces on
the card. Many of them are familiar and also featured on the
other cards in the set. The package includes a 20-page
instruction booklet approximately 5" x 8". This is
certainly something to keep in one's wallet for those
appropriate times and definitely worth getting as part of
the set.
