A Good “one Man” Mind Reading Act

This act requires no assistant and is adapted to both stage work and close work.

Performer passes out small slips of paper and pencils with the request that spectators write questions, etc. (as in other Mind Reading Acts). Papers are folded, collected, and placed on table. Performer picks up a tablet and pencil to help him get mental impressions. Then he picks out one of the slips of paper and puts it aside. He writes down his impression of the message contained on this slip of paper.

If it is a question, he answers it. The slip of paper is then unfolded, and the message in it is found to check up with the performer's impression. Paper is refolded and passed down to owner. Another slip is picked out and the same routine carried through with it, and so on with as many slips as performer has time to handle.
