Once in a lifetime a trick is conceived which embodies all of the features that make a magic trick successful. This, we feel, is it! Through the courtesy and cooperation of the Mercury Mystery Magazine, Ellery Queen and Fred Dannay (all connected with Mercury Mystery Magazine) we were able to print a magazine that will send the average mentalist into ecstatic raptures. With this magazine you can make a prediction a week or so in advance and then read a spectator’s mind the night you perform on television, radio or the stage.
 
First, let us describe the effect: Three magazines are shown, such as Reader’s Digest, Coronet and the Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine. The spectator chooses one, turns to any page and the story he turns to is discerned by the mentalist, also the author, several words chosen and revealed and then a startling prediction is made. Placed in a crystal box a week or so ago is found the very word chosen by the spectator a week later. You may even offer a thousand dollar challenge that you will reveal the very word the spectator will chose from a hundred thousand words in a magazine.
 
CONDITION NOTES:  Includes the original book and crib sheet. The book shows typical age-related discoloration, but remains in very nice overall condition. The pages are still pliable and the spine is solid and in very good shape. While the effect is fully performable, due to the age of the book it may be better suited for light use rather than repeated performance.  Would make an excellent addition to any collection!
