GREETED article is found, and as soon as
his hand touches it-although he has
no previous knowledge OF its nature
he will recognize 1t instinctively, for
ed such information by the relaxation
of his muscles. As the mind Is indivis.
ible: or. in other words. as 1t is impos.
sible for persons mind to be in two
places at the same time. It is plainly
to be seen that II the subject honestly
concentrates his mind upon the article
hidden. he cannot discover the fact
that he is leading the so.called mind
reader, instead of being led himself. II
is obvious from the foregoing explana
ton, that instead of being led him.
elf. II is obvious from the foregoing
explanation. that instead of the mind
reader being the operator and leading
the subject. as is generally supposed
he is himself led by the subject; hence
the mind reader is the subject, and
the subject the operator. To sum II
all up. the mind reader must follow
the least resistance.
Mind Reading Tricks.
The tricks of mind reading are too
numerous and varied to be mentioned
in this connection. but we will give the
leading ones: % The finding of q
concealed article. usually a pin. go
The finding of person thought of
t3) The imaginary murder: a number
of knives are laid on the table. and are
considered instruments of death. Any
person selects any one of the knives
and with 1t kills, in his mind, one oil
the audience; then conceals the knife
and the body the latter imaginary OF
course. The mind reader first finds
the murderer, then the knife, then the
party supposed to have been killed
and whether II was a thrust or slash
then the place where the body was tC
be concealed. "a The love.token, very
popular with the ladies'. a young mar
thinks OF handsome lady present &c
whom he would present bouquet as O
token of love. The mind reader takes
the bouquet in his hands. and finds the
lady IN whom be nresents II ,5, Tn,
game nj chess. Two pentlemen mr.,
seated at table to play chess; one Of
them actually plays. the mind reader
puesses tho inlay of the other. that 10
he takes and places the mon the otbe,
only Thought of 4 very fine exneri
mi
leau. Several ladies' and gentlemen
form n tableau all I'm different or gro
tesoue positions and then resum,
their seats. The mind reader find,
each person in the order they wer,
called. and places each one in tho sam,
position they were before, forming IN,
tableau perfcctly. l7) The finding an,
number Thought of. usually of n hank
note. The mind reader holds in hi.
right hand a piece of chalk. and tn,
person who knows the number place,
his or her right hand on the right hant
of the mind reader thinks first of tn,
first number or figure of the series. ant
the mind reader writes thus the frs
figure on the blackboard. and so on til
the full number is written. The hant
of the mind reader is guided entirel,
by the hand of the subject. lS) Draw
ing. A paInter thinks of an animal
land the mind reader draws an outlin,
of the same. The principal is tn,
same as writing a number thought of
go 10 find things placed on a table OF
to select a small object from a larg,
number of objects. The mind reade
places the finger tins of the left hanI
of the subject on the finger tips of hi
right hand. moves them thus connected
to and fro over the articles. The min,
reader can be blindfolded. When tn,
hand is over the article thought OF
the mind reader feels a strong pulsa
ton in the finger tips of the subject
and this Is always proof that the ar
ticle is the one Thought of.
Contact Must Exist.
These are, generally, the first tests
used by beginners. or course Their,
are many others, such as the tracinl
of route ON a map, the driving of |
pair of horses to find an article, tn,
spelling of names, all depending on tn,
ingenuity of the mind reader in devils
ing them. In all cases some kinds o
contact between the operator and tn,
subject must exist. The connection
by a wire is quite sufficient in man,
tests" for an expert. II Is declared
