The Kolophon (eBook)

A test-conditions psychic feat you will carry in your mind for life!

To demonstrate a psychic test, the psychic asks the spectator to furnish five envelopes of any kind, five business cards or playing cards (or five names may be used if the living and dead test is to be done), plus a pencil or pen. The performer refuses to touch any of these items and makes it a point to stay away from them. For clarification, we will use five business cards.

Spectator is asked to secretly sign any one of the business cards and to secretly seal the card into any one of the envelopes to turn the envelope flap-side up and to sign the envelope. He is next to seal the other four unsigned cards into the other four envelopes, and when through, he is to sign all four of the envelopes. He is then to mix up the envelopes so that he himself does not know which envelope contains the signed card. He is also to number the envelopes on the address side with numbers from 1 to 5. This may be done under the table or in another room.

Psychic returns and under these conditions and without touching any of the envelopes divines which envelope contains the signed business card.

The reader must admit that here, we have a truly psychic test under test conditions. For the mentalist, it leaves little to be desired in a test. You carry nothing but your secret techniques in your mind. This effect brings to mind the works of Dr. Schlessinger, Bert Reese, and Charles Foster who became world famous performing with little else than scraps of paper.

*While the Kolophon Technique is highly reliable when performed as instructed, it is not entirely foolproof. There is a small, though unlikely, chance of a miss. Please keep this in mind before making your purchase, if such a factor is important to you.
