Telepathic Pictures

This effect is good for stage or club work. If you have any aptitude as an artist, it will work in very nicely as a super-mental feat and will help you create a sensation.

Performer asks a spectator to draw any picture or symbol which he chooses on a piece of paper. He tells spectator to fold this paper and place it in his pocket so that performer cannot see it. This done, spectator is asked to concentrate on what he has drawn. Magician then takes a blackboard or large piece of cardboard or a pad of paper and draws a similar picture. Spectator unfolds his paper and checks up his drawing with that of the Magician. This may be varied by having the spectator write a sentence and keep it from the Magician.

Performer then reproduces the sentence word for word on the cardboard or pad.
