FOR1:!."'WORD

Tests done with newspapers have a profound effeot on the audienoel Properly presented they are "killer" effeots! It is the power of the printed word, no less. Audiences are enraptured with the sheer illusion of magio when they realize that they have just witnessed a miracle o What else can it be? The magician can not change the printed word that the audience have read also and they can read again and check it and thrill again in doing it and retelling it. Maurioe Fogel, the late world-famous Mentalist, ranked the "Headline Hunter" effect in the same class (in effectiveness) with a billet testl Fogel presented it on national T.V. and hundreds of times and each time with the same stunning brain-busting effect! This treatise only scratches the surface on the subject. The possibilities for many more miraoles has no limit. The mentalist should concentrate his cunning and showmanship to only one effect for one show. Properly presented each effect is this manuscript is a winner. Wishing

EFFECT: The front page of a newspaper is given to anyone to choose any paragraph and to read it secretly and concentrate on what he is reading. Mentalist tells the person what he is reading! METHOD: The dit-dah Morse-type coding is applied to the first four words of each paragraph. This coding was first used by yours truly in 1979 and applied to an effect released in 19800 While preparing material for this book, I went to a New York City news-stand looking for a newspaper with plenty of pictures on the front page and also some paragraphs. I found several papers. For this article I picked The New York Times as shown in Fig. 1. Please note that the front page is divided into six columns. We will use only the top half of the front page and only the right quarter. So in the presentation the performer folds the front page into quarters and tells the spectator to pick a paragraph from the three columns there (with the picture of Mr. Margiotta). The three columns are shown in Fig. 2.
