Three Original Close-Up Monu-Mental Effects Designed For Walk Around Cocktail Parties. 



From the Secret Books of Dr. Tao come three original tricks of the mind. In this tome the mysterious doctor also reveals three of his innermost ancient secrets to effective mentalism. Each lesson is more than merely an outstanding original effect， it’s a lesson that can be applied to mentalism students already perform. 



Desire – A participant writes an item she desires on a piece of paper and leaves another paper blank. No matter how much the participant mixes the two papers; no matter how well she hides them from his sight， without even a glance in her direction， he is able to reveal which paper has the desire and where it is! This is repeated until finally the paper is burned. Although any item imagined was written on the paper and Dr. Tao never handled it， the ashes seem to form the desire in front of the participant’s eyes!



Twin Swans – Dr. Tao writes a fortune for a young couple on a borrowed scrap of paper. The woman mentally chooses a card. Her partner is shown the faces of the cards and reaches out to take a card of his choice. It is the same card as that in his girlfriend’s mind! And the fortune also has the name of the mentally chosen card written on it.



Bound Blossoms – Dr. Tao shows a large red envelope. A man goes through a borrowed deck of cards one at a time. A woman goes through a handful of page corners cut from a magazine. A third woman tells them both when to stop. The red envelope is opened. Inside is a sealed yellow envelope. A member of the audience removes a folded sheet of paper. Written on it in large black writing is a prediction containing the chosen page number and the chosen card! Everything is examinable! And with the exception of the prediction， can be borrowed.



Each trick is a reputation maker， specially design by Dr. Tao to be used at cocktail parties or banquets.



But there is much more to this little book than just three fine mentalistic tricks. The lessons hold ancient secrets that demonstrators of true mystery must know. Most of the secret books of Dr. Tao were lost， but in a dusty bookshop in Chinatown， Docc Hilford has uncovered Volume IX， Book 6 in this monu-MENTAL series.



“And after all is said and done， it’s really all a lot of fun.”

-Dr. Tao
