HINDU LEVITATION OP AN IRON BAR,

This part of the book w i l l describe thg power of suggestion of or human beings OVER PHYSICAL OBJECTS,. demonstrated by a Hadji Yogi adept.

This Hindoo Native called i t : ' "HINDU INVITATION OP AN IRON BAR".

He was a genuine Yogi adept direct from India. He convinced at al l times by his super-keen physical senses as: hearing, f e e l i n g , tasting, and e t c . and he was ready at a l l times to prove any statement he ;rade. He was calm, diodest, s e l f - r e l i a n t and an honest and upright individual and some what se l f - reserved in knowledge but not as much reserved as other East Indians. Meaning: he always gave advice in form of valu-able hint3 , ideas and suggestions.

His sparkling eye, contagious smile, graceful manner, keen wit and readiness to a33ist anyone both in word and deed manifested around him a peculiar sort of personal magnetism that fascinated everyone and won the hearts of every single person he met.

He claimed his magnetism was so strong that he could cause these magnetic waves to move and attract physical objects at w i l l . And he demonstrated his seemingly remarkable powers by requesting two specta-tors to a s s i s t him.

• For instance, in one tes t - - s tanding direct ly behind a table with a spectator at both sides of him. On the table lay a s tr ip of iron -hal f an inch thick, four inches wide and four feet long.

He asked the spectators on both sides of him to l i f t with both hands this iron bar slowly—evenly, ffihen by humming a weird sound which became louder in tone making mysterious passes over and under the bar and laid a l l ten f ingers f l a t under the bar. While spectators continued to elevate the bar the Hindu was seen assist ing them. When about two feet above the table he told them to stop and hold s t i l l .

His hands could be seen to slowly rub back and forth under the bar, he was heard to make commands, thus: " I am commanding the magnetismto flow from my body l ike f luid t o help and assist me in levi tat ing t h i s bar. The magnetism i s becoming more and more thick and dense over and under this bar and is holding t h i s upI I t is becoming so strong and--holding the bar and suspending this bar so powerfully that you two - - -cannot bring i t down to the table no matter how hard you try ! 1" He then slides his hands o f f from under the bar and comes over i t and makes more long deliberate passes and and keeps performing a pull ing motion f i v e times to maintain the bar in mid-air l ike connections of strings from his hands to the bar.

"Now try hard—to bring this bar down, try harder'. Yes, i t is be-coming so l ight that you cannot bring it down. I t is almoPt going up. Try harder to push down but i t ' s possible . My magnetism withstands your strength. Your e f f o r t s prove f u t i l e . You cannot bring the bar down. You are trying so hard—so hard but you can bring i t down."

"Now--the magnetic waves are leaving the bar. The bar is getting so heavy that you cannot hold i t up. I t i s coming down, f a l l i n g "down and sinks on the table with a "bang". I t does bang right down on the face of the t a b l e . " The audience appears bewildered and mystified at ;mch amazing powers being transacted r ight before their eyes.

Do you know how susceptible most.people are to suggestion? No? Well , here i s what you can doL Cal'l up some one in the audience who appears interested or attentive in your work. Now, stand facing him looking straight into his eyes. Ask him to interlace his f ingers of both hands so he is gripping h is hands. Now, t e l l him to hold his hands t i g h t l y together. Get him to think and concentrate on what you are t e l l i n g him. Compliment him, by saing: certainly—he looks in -t e l l i g e n t and a very quick thinker. ' ( T e l l him)—Now-thinkI- Think hardl that your hands are s sticking together t i g h t l y . Glued together! Stick-ing tigther and t ighter so t ight that they are becoming fastened. Now they are sticking fast—stuck faat and t igj i t . They're locked--they're fastened they(re glued they're frozen they're cemented I YOU CAN'T OPEN TH'EM! TRY! BUT YOU CAN'T! THE MORE YOU TRY THE MORE THEY STICK! YOU ARE TRYING SO HARD BUT YOU CANNOT SEPARATE THEM! TRY HARDER BUT YOU CAN'T!" Snap your f ingers and say; " S l r i g h t , the/re a lr ight . Now—you can open them.

Reread the above paragraph caroful ly and you w i l l see and under-stand that by the power of suggestions through verbal suggestions—by attracting and holding their f u l l attention you can make the subject fol low you and your l i n e of thought. So by having h i s f u l l attention and you continue a running f i r e of suggestions he w i l l l i s ten to you and not be able to think of any thing e l se .

I f your 3ubjoct is i n t e l l i g e n t and interested and has willingness to co-operate with you—he w i l l absolutely fefel ( I mean i t ) - f e e l y o u r suggestions l i k e : - - - y o u r hands are sticking l ike glue" he w i l l pos i -t i v e l y f e e l i t .

Be bus iness - l ike . Do not hesitate at any time. — but continue right on through without faultering- -without a break. Know your busi-ness and DO IT!

When procuring a subject t e l l him he w i l l f e e l i t t e l l him he must. For he cannot r e s i s t . How can he r e s i s t when you know what you are about to do and he does not know what to expect.

DO YOU ICNOIY THAT YOU CAN INFLUENCE FORTY OUT OF A HUNDRED PEOPLE as on average proven by my s t a t i s t i c s . THAT ONE HUNDRED OUT A HUNDRED PEOPLE, are constantly being influenced every day by some form of sug-gestion l ike ADVERTISING. (For instance)-which is cn direct and i n -direct form of suggestion. And why are there slogans to a l l of these products: "Camels" c i g a r e t t e s - - - " " ! : ' d Walk a Mile For A Camel".

"Morton*s Sa l t " - - "When I t Rains I t Pours". "Palmolive " Soap — "Keep-That Schoolgirl Complexion". "Pi l l sbury" Flour - - "Eventually Why Not NOW".

You remember associative words and products Because they a l l in-fluence you control you and make you BUY! Simply because you are re-acting in response caused by the constant repi t i t ion of BILLBOARD

• SUGGESTIONS. Now, do you UNDERSTAND? So do these hypnotic t e s t s with the positiveness of a Real Hypno-

t i s t ! A successful person is very confident of his powers—his ab i l i ty to do a certain thing. So DO THESE TESTS! TRY THEM WHENEVER YOU CAN! PRACTICE! AND YOU WILL FIND THAT THEY POSITIVELY ACTUALLY V/ORKU

FIVE METHODS OF STOPPING THE PULSE. FIRST TWO ARE YOGI METHODS.

1 . - A good way i s to l e t a person hold your wrist keep-ing tab on tho p u l 3 e beat. Now while you s eeningly concentrate deeply—YOU ACTUAL-LY DECREASE THE RATE OF HEART BEATS SO SLOW THAT IT SOON CANNOT BE FELT AT ALLi Then again YOU INCREASE i t s o — s o FAST to abnormal. SECRET:- Soon a3 thev hold your wrist a moment TAKE A DEEP BREATH SLCHV, SO SLOW (audidsnce should not know that you a r e using breathing THEN HOLD YOUR BREATH AS LONG AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN. AFTER A FEW SEC-ONDS. THEY WILL TELL YOU THAT THEY'DO NOT FEEL THE PULSE AT ALL. NOW EXHALE VERY SLOWLY AND BREATHE NORMALLY AGAIN.-"-** THIS WILL TEND TO INCREASE THE HEAETS TO A HIGHER RATE.

2 . - Have spectator s i t down directly behind you. You are standing you with your back to spectator and audience. (No one must be in front of you, because they riust not see what you are doing.) Now have spectator hold wri3t to f e e l the pulse beat* NOW LEFT HAND (unseen by audience or spectator) GOES TO JUGUIAR VEIN OR BLOOD VESSEL IN THE NECK WHICH IS CLOSE TO COLLAR BONE (You can find i t by i t3 pulaation) AND APPLY A FIRM S TEADY PRESSURE WITH FINGER OR THUMB. SAME RESULTS AS ABOVE.

3 . - Girl assistant seated on stage- -her arm out at f u l l length which is bare and free of any preparation. Upon word of command by perfor-mer her arri is seen slowly to beco.no cold and pale. After n moment,per-former 3laps hi3 hands and her am quickly becomes flushed with color, A tap on her cheek and she is awake and smiling, SECRET: - Under cover of dres3 around the 3houlder is a cord or b e l t . A3 3oon as sho snt down the hook on the opposite end of the top of chair f i t t e d in the loop. A l l ' s wel l . Now by moving slowly over to right 3ide tightens cord around the shoulder producing a contraction of muscles and blood v e s s e l s of r ight arm stopping flow of blood. SO PALENESS THE RESULT. Thi3 contraption i 3 so neatly covered that i n -spection nay be invited to doctors without fear of detection. ANOTHER METHOD:- i s when her arm is outstretched--you hold her arm and by squeezing her arm pressing f irmly—the blood vessel in biceps you can cause palene3s and numbness--with other hand making mysterious passes for misdirection. This la t ter method is the best method for there is nothing concealed and everything is done above-board.

4 . - Another one of the most re l iable methods i s by a rubber b a l l thafr f i t s in the armptt. By pressing arm against side- -causes contraction of blood v e s s e l s and muscles gradually become numb and pale. Whert performing under emergency (and you cannot procure rubber b a l l ) just take and use knotted handkerchief and you w i l l obtain the same r e s u l t s , Never give the audience the l e a s t impression that you are using any form of contraptions or gimmicks". Tel l them you 'wi l l perform the test by deop concentration.

5 .~ I f you hold your arm tensed against the side of tho body, arm a l i t t l e back and applying a steady pressure on the aide of the body for a few minute3 your arm w i l l slowly become pale, riunb and paralyzed. Thi3 idea cones in handy for there w i l l be a time when vou w i l l be for-ced under test conditions-strioped to the waist and you 'wi l l be able to use-nothing extra. Practice t h i s a few times when the knack i s obtained you w i l l be able to perform i t with ease. Success is yours.

WHAT? TEMPERATURE AT 110 DEGREESI

The e f f e c t : This i s a very l i t t l e known test M e t h o d as used by some of the Great Hindu miracle workers who have traveled throughout the United States, receiving an unexpected amount of publ ic i ty .

Before beginning the demonstration the Seer, c a l l s f o r volun-teers or doctors with some medical knowledge for a committee. They are asked to register the Seer's temperature which is found to be*ioi>-mal, A few ninutes later i t i s found to have increased or raised to the danger point J Evidently the miracle man i s l i t e r a l l y "burning ujJ' yet he smiles and shows not the least discomfort from this f e a r f u l fever . THE SECRET: Unknown to practical ly a l l medical men and laymen this is a very e f f e c t i v e tes t for either stage or impromptu work. Before appearance the medium hides a piece of G. I . (Government Issue) soap under l e f t armpit touching skin, The temperature of the body w i l l increase within a few minutes. I f this soap cannot be obtained use a small wad of Bull Durham tobacco, (a longer time is necessary for r e -s u l t s ) . Showmanship and a l i t t l e common sense w i l l make this test a complete "KNOCK-OUT", Trv this out. YOU CAN FOOL THEM ALL.

STICK TO THE POINTl or DO YOU .SEE THE POINT?

Do you know that i f you take a two-inch*needle (or smaller) laying i t on the arm lengthwise d i r e c t l y over the elbow (bare arm) and when you close up and bend your arm a l i the way to the shoulder, then the need-le w i l l disappear out of sight and the i l l u s i o n created is the need-le has been swallowed up, or, has entered d irect ly into the f lesh.Easy. Be sure the needle i s rounded of f a l i t t l e so the'point cannot pierce the f l e s h when using.

Subject with rol led-ub sleeves stands at your s ide . Show a tray about 40 or 50 ordinary- f lat -head pins, Picking them one at a time with thumba dn foref inger grasping and in hammer fashion lust drive -them or slap them against his arm. Do this u n t i l a l l pins are used.

Arm is now seen to be a f i n e array of pins r e f l e c t i n g t iny streaks of l ight in the spot - l ight . Subject smiles and seems to endure NO PAIN I (Or the best method is to put subject to sleep. Then proceed. SECRET:- When y&u pick a pin between tb,umb and foref inger holding i t at the upper part of the pin—-not t i g h t l y but somewhat loose ly so when you "seemingly slap pin right into the f l e s h " thumb anfl f o r e f i n g -er slides along the pin to the point — so when you st ick 'pin — only the point enters f l e s h s l ight ly and enough to hang on to f l e s h . TRY ID

SPIRIT TAPS FROM WHERE? I have so much amusement and success in performing this t e s t . Try this on anybody and everybody. Ask them about Spiri t Taps. No? Woll , you have missed sorrsthing. Stand facing them hands closed and f i r s t f inger of each hand outstretched and cmong forward to his e y e s — t e l l him t o close h i s eyes- - -you now have one f inger on each eyelid . Do this again a

nd the second time closes hi3 eyes you stretch out two fingers of the right hand and other free l e f t hand tap him on the tack of the head. Now when bringing back the two hands close your second f inger (right hand) and have the two f i r s t f ingers of e a c h . h a n d drawing back in your direction (as the f i r s t time). He opens his eyes ard sees you bringing back each hand with the f i r s t f inger of each going back. THEN HE WILL WONDER HOW YOU B$NS IT. LET HIM WON DERI J

GLASS CP./. SIT

During the performance the assistant quietly comes from wings with a glass of water and hands same to performer.

(The impression upon the audience i s - - - t h i s is a sort of a refrejh-ment to the perspiring Master Hypnotist.)

"Permit mo ladies and gentlemen, fcr this glass of water i s the greatest refreshener and v i t a l i z e r for tho brain, ospesial ly a f ter an expenditure of brain energy. (Performer drinks and explains:)

"Now I do f e e l a de l ight fu l sensation flowing through my brain and body. (Performer is about to hand glass but ho hesitates a second changes his mind-—retains the empty glass and holds i t up as an example f o r his next statement:)

" I f eo l that my hypnotic influence i s stronger f o r my head i s cleared. In f a c t , I f o o l strong enough to blow this glass to thousand of b i t s . I think I Wi l l i While I contor my concentration on this glass and pronounce tho word "BREAK" in a true hypnotic tone . "

"NOT — LOOK; — THIS IS GIASS AND PURE GLASS AT THAT'.'

"Now watch I ONE—TWO —-THREE I B-R-E-A-K I i "

(Tho ward "BREAK" i s shouted af ter snapping the edge of glass with foref inger) .

Tho amazement cannot be subdued. The glass simply f a l l s to piece s in performer's hands and l e t s i t drop to the f l o o r .

To the audienco i t seems that there is no other way of the glass crashing to piecos and f a l l i n g aprt—then to simply look at i t and command i t to f a l l apart.

Now lot mo relieve you of the suspense and l o t us get down to bus-iness. THE SECRET IS: I f you purchase two or three drinking glass-es md tumblers of tho f i n e s t and thinnest glass you w i l l be ablo to find just the right quality of glas3 t o use for your purpose. Make this experiment. Hold the gLass (or tumbler) on your hand and snap-ping tho odgo hard enough causo3 a tingling so there 's a series of vibrations set up that can bo f o l t by your hand and the Singling v i -brating gissxxKfci sound is plainly nud i b l o . Now i f you bring close t o the glass while is vibrating, arri 3hout "BREAK" in tho oxact tono and sound of the tingle—whilo you continuo the sound,long enough i t certainly wi l l f a l l aprtrt. Try the word in other pitch of voico .

When the vibrations of the glas3 arc act up by hitt ing the edge of tumbler--then a shout of the word which when tho sound doubles and in-creases tho vibrations or quiverings of tho glass to tho oxtont that the molecules of particlo3 cannot remain together but simply separato so in this case, the glass just f a l l s apart ca? shatters to piccos. Experiment for tho best results . Once you get the "knack" thoro is nothing to i t but just uso a dramatic a b i l i t y in presenting this neat l i t t l e e f f e c t - - A good showman can make a masterpiece of this t o s t .

PERSPIRE AT WILLI I

The t i t l e should not confuse you. The number of persons in t h i s wide world who can "perspire at w i l l " has never been known. History t e l l s us that perspiration at w i l l i s very d i f f i c u l t and there i s no record except one that has been brought to my attention recent ly ,

A monk in an' European monastery today could—or claims--he could "perspire at w i l l " i - b u t that being probably the only one success fu l ly test that he could perform. Or thoro might have been a b i r t h error or the resul t of an injury. That I have beeb able to find out,could be poss ible .

In an experiment of t h i s kind—you u t i l i z e your concentrative — powers you would naturally expend a trjamendous amount of nervous ener-gy and also causing nervous strain; therefore, i f you wanted to do i t , from a physical standpoint I would advise you not to try i t .

This fraudolont method that I w i l l rovoal t o you i s a socrot that has never been exposed and i t i s only t i l l recently that I have ob-tained the permission of the originator and i t s performer.

Doctors have boon b a f f l e d . Scient ists have pronounced this i n -credible , and unbelievable--because, they say, - the motor area of the brain is not capable of being controlled by the large brain—especial -ly in this^carly age of psychology and we are only beginning to under-stand the brain and i t s functions.

In short: The modulla oblongata or the subconscious mind- - is a separate and a d i s t i n c t brain capable of performing a l l the motor act-ions of the body WITHOUT directions or orders of the conscious mind -(cerebral cortex, the largo brain. )

So the s c i e n t i s t s ' assertion i s : - - How can you twist or reverse the correlation of nerve messages from the body to the medulla ob-longata AND TO THE LARGE BRAIN. HOW? *

HERE'S THE ACT AND SECRET: After the nr. a tor hypnotist has been searched he walks around which convinces the audience that he is a t -tached to any thing. After re lat ing cn incident of concentration of the control of the functions by the brain the performer proceeds t o demonstrate " To Perspire At W i l l i "

To make i t more convincing and sensational clothing of upper body i s removed which loaves body free and bared to the waist .

"In order to i l l u s t r a t e " ) (manager ac assistant expla ins : ) ' i n conv plote si lence or quiet. For th is requires the profoundest arri intense of concentration, so intense—to a dogroo—that i s unbelievable. I t is only a f t e r years of practice and training of certain d e f i n i t e nerve centers in the brain to accomplish this d e l i c a t e t o s t . TO PERFORM:-

The performer stands s t i l l with his hands to h i s head something to represent the deep state or trance-thinking for he should remain absolutely s t i l l and quiet. Assistant t e l l s audicnce of the l i f e of the performer, saying, "How he has amazed the world's greatest minds and giving food for thought f o r the most inte l l igent by these t e s t s . '

continued

The performer begins to sweat and beads of perspiration scorn to come out on his forehead while ho is s t i l l concentrating without mov-ing s t i l l in this t r a n c e — l i k e - - s t a t e .

SECRET: Have a s et of soler-platos made with hoating co i l s in be-tween them that are laid in the shoos just dircctly next to your skin, which do not impede your walking around and being comfortable.

Tho carpet you walk on has concealed und er two long stips of metal (positive' and negative) running paral le l to the source of current coming f i r c c t from the light socket. So when you stand on your solo plate i s positive—hoel plate is negative. Each touching their r e -spective points on tho carpot. Tho out3lde contact plates (of shoes) connected to tho insido heating c o i l and plate by a wire running thru the sole f o r posit ive which is connocted with a wire to that respec-tive point of heating pin t e hool plato has wire running -thru rubber h o e l to the n e g a t i v e h o a t i n g p l a t o e a c h s h o e . {Jill unknown to a u d i e -n c e — a b o u t t h i s hook-up or t h e a p p a r a t u s you a r e u s i n g . )

The'reason that you must stand on carpot at any point as long as your solos touching positive metal contact of carpet and your heels respectively touch the negative metal plate . (You can move around on the carpet for tho metal plates under carpet arc as long as the carpet (e lectric engine on tracks g i v e 3 you a good example for explaining this quite c loar ly . ) Contact is made by standing s t i l l when concentrate

With -the use csf a rheostat you must regulate the heat to a certain degree and maintain i t at that degree of heat.

Any oloctrician can easi ly make this for i f you cannot manufacture y o u r s e l f — a l l you do is ask oloctrician to make a pair of hoating coils so they f i t on the sole of tho inside of 7;our shoes--connected with a rhoostate to regulate unti l you have the right degree of the most heat you can withstand.

SO NOW WHEN YOU FEEL THE HEAT OF HEATING PL/fl? ES IF YOU CONCENTRATE YOU WILL FIND THAT YOU CAN PERSPIRE VEBY QUICKLY AT THE SLIGHTEST THINK -5NG OR RECALLING ANY MEMORIES ASSOCIATED WITH WARMTH OR HEAT. THY ITI

YOU CAN ACTUALLY PERSPIRE AT WILL (WITH THE AID OF THIS ARTIFICIAL HEAT) YOU CAN PERSPIRE SLOWLY OR QJICKLY. AS YOU DESIRE. TRY IT.

An Hindoo performer on the American stage today s t i l l uses this i following method: I t resembles the above method but instead of shoe-; plates , ho uses heating pads direct ly hold on his bare hips under his ; clothing. PRODUCING THE SAME RESULTS. One fault—he cannot be searched.

A magician friend of mine gave rac a routine for this same e f f e c t . 'Coming d irect ly , from a HOT BATH he was s t i l l standing in room s t i l l -ibared to the waist and by concontrating he was able to pcrspiro a t will, j When body is immersed in hot water f o r a s u f f i c i e n t length of time this actually raises the bodily temperature a few degrees and you— find that heat can be retained in your body for many minut03. (This extra heat) .

While your assistant or manager lectures along this line (and you are at the same time taking a hot bath)(many theaters furni3h showers in connection in # i th dressing rooms) (so you see this can pract ica l ly bo done) and i f everything done on time you get out cf water right on the minute and hurry in your c lothes . )

In a snail homo you seem casually to s t r o l l l into the room with a book in your hands (or a newspaper or anything) i f on the stage you can bo seen to casually seem to s t r o l l out so calm so cool—as i f you were waiting to come out . ) Your manager i s heard to claim—that you can perform this most remarkable under the most s t r i c t e s t of con-di t ions . (Without fear of contradiction) t e l l your audienco that YOU ARE THE ONE OP THE PEW THAT CAN PERSPIRE AT WILL.

(While you are performing t h i s excercise, have your manager give a lecture) . (BY bending down in a squatting position on your toes and r is ing up slowly, body tense , you w i l l find that the heart w i l l beat more rapidly thereby producing more blood circulation and MORE HEAT). Manager explains that this excercise is cal led by Hindu Adepts, "Sum-atra , I t places the mind in the exact mood for deepest concentrations

*

Do this two cr three times. You w i l l then notice that you can "Perspire At W i l l " Or that your body w i l l perspire upon'the s l igtk-est mental thoughts of heat or warmth.

Just think of yourself walking in the hot sands of the Sahara Desert the sun so intensely hot that the rays hit t ing your baro back s e -

! ems l i k e the f ires of a hot , blazing torch—burning roast ing -so—hot ,

| Your f a c e and hands are so warm—you f e e l so warm, so hot , that : beads or drops of perspiration are forming upon your forehead, your I hands and face . Your body in general i s becoming so itchy always ! the perspiration that you are becoming wet soaking wet in the- — sheltering or the flowing of your own sweat.

< THIS TEST WILL AMAZE YOU. TRY IT!

THE RESULTS OBTAINED IB THE RESULT OF FOLLOWING THE DRERECTIONS | VERY CAREFULLY. THEY SHOULD PROVE GRATIFYING -INDEED!

PSYCHO - SORCERY

This i s a s c i e n t i f i c t e s t not w e l l know among the average magi-cians or mental workers . The real und erlying secret w i l l be expla i -ned. When you grab the each wrist of spectator with your thumb on pulse Do not t e l l what you are going to do but just ask him point blank what hand he is thinking o f . Spectator does think of one hard. Performer immediately knows what hand i s thou git o f . Por the pulse of hi3 (thought o f ) wrist w i l l skip a beat or two — tiien i t w i l l speed up - - beating almost twice as f a s t as the other hand. There i s a secret in a few words so use i t aril guard it c l o s e l y . Use showman-ship and i t w i l l be tes t that w i l l never forgotten . Change i t or vary i t by having a dime in one hand and a penny in the other hand. Then J e l l them to think of one hand or other hand, You w i l l always win.

HUMAN LIE DETECTOR,

Anytime any one r e l a t e s an incident or an experience and i t seems there is some exaggeration — immediately step end say: "You would be lying i f you did not t e l l the truth, wouldn't tou?" And do you know I can t e l l i f you are ly ing or not? Just by feel ing your pulse?

To s t i c k t o h i s story and prove to audience i t i s so he w i l l boldly assert — that yOu cannot t e l l i f he is l y i n g . You then take hold of h i s wrist (be sire and find pulse) and look into h i s ejes and ask him t o repeat h i s story t e l l him. " I f you are sincere and are t e l l i n g the t®uth your heat w i l l beat normal and you can look me - - -s traight in the eyel " But i f you l i e , you w i l l not be able to look me straight in the eye~-and— there w i l l be skips in jCxxr pulse and your pulse-beat w i l l go f a s t e r right along. Understand?

Sometimes they back out of the experiment. (Is i t when they t e l l truth—N01) Sometimes they cannot look you straight in the eye. (Eyes w i l l quiver a l i t t l e . ) Sometimes their pu^3© skips a few beats at i n -tervals* The l a s t three denotes some falsehood somewhere. And aga-in on the other hand he looks you straight in the eye and does not waver and his pulse beats normally then when you are sure he i s giving you " s t r a i g h t goods" (For the best e f f e c t have him stand with you before audience.) His whole s tory may be the truth exepet a certain d e t a i l . Watch and keep tab on his pulse beat , I t might be skip end hurry. I t might just continue t o be normal. I t is up to you to find i t out. So when he f i n i s h e s you cross-examine him. Then when he did not t e l l tb© the truth he w i l l g ive up in despair and say " I don ' t want ydu to do this f o r what is the sense of i t a l l ? " Try this as per l a s t experiment and use as IN FIRST TEST CF THIS COURSE and you w i l l find underlying a power of suggestion that w i l l work. Like for i n s t a n c e : -I f you l i e your heart w i l l skip a beat cr two--and w i l l quicken. And i f you are t e l l i n g the truth w i l l beat normal you w i l l be able t o look me straight in the eye without the s l i g h t e s t wavering. Use a l i t t l e suggestion. And then Watch Results . Experiment fcr best reults.

HAT PIN THROUGH ARM 4iC 1 1 1 • • ••• 11 -

To perform thia t e a t - - - a l l you need i s - "guts" or what I c a l l " co ld courage". Procure a long, thin, slender hat-pin with a very sharp point . When using this type of a pin——you need not "be afraid of any damage or harm—-for when thrusting the pin through t h e ' f l e a h y part of the fore-arm or the middle between the wrist and elbow, the point being very sharp and the hat-pin i t s e l f being very t h i n — l o n g — a n d — slender does not harm the t issues very m u « h — f o r a l l i t doe a - — - i a divides the ce l la aa i t goea through the muaclea.

This teat always proves to be a BIG HIT whenever, wherever shown. Innocent subject {pea through procreaa of being Hypnotized by you and he must portray dramatic a b i l i t y in going to sleep and awakening and-while he does not even know that his aim waa pierced with a hat-pin (?) Never give yourself credit when uaing aubjecta f o r upon their awaken-ing always direct the audience'a attention that their mind waa of very high rate of intel l igence (aubjecta ' ) arri audience w i l l applaud for the subject 's succeaa in the performance of theae experimenta there- ' fore indirect ly audience w i l l l i k e you a l l the more f o r being modest*

I f you are performing under any emergency a good idea is to simply pinch the f l e s h where the needle i s to enter, (For (this deadens the nerve). Then thrust the needle with a good grip> while you have picked up a good portion of tti e f a t t y tissues of the fore^arm between or with tho thumb and tho f i r s t f inger . Always us o a good antiseptic Alcohol or a 5% solution Boric Acid in water so as to wash a l l art ice Is used in experiment before and after—-keeping things s t e r i l e and clean prevent-ing germs getting into the blood stream.

The following i s the masterpiece of Hypnotic Magic I have been ua-ing a long time without anyone yet becoming aware of the f a c t that a ' "gimic" lis being used. Try this and notice the e f f e c t upon audience. F i r s t , the hand and arm is shown t o the audience t o be bare and free of anv preparation ufoat soever i Now taking a large bandana (handker-chief ) f r om the table, waving i t "then throwing it around the wris t so i t i s wrapped around w r i s t twice, having* spectator assiat you in tying a few good knot a. Tako also from table a long-hat-pin having i t pre-viously paased f o r any rigid amount of inapection.

After it a return aaking audience to watch you very c lose ly for the expreiment requirea silence and deep meditation while the experi -ment i s transpiring. Taking the pin holding i t s point touching the center of handkerchief whoro wrist ia covered, (gazing u n t i l you are this seeming trance of deep concentration-—whereby you are w i l l i n g your body thinking so i n t e n s e - - u n t i l you are a lowly—slowly—going into a s tate of complete anaesthesia without feeling—no p a i n — n o feeling of any kind Strange aa it may Seem ( ? ) ,

Now alowly surely pos i t ive ly—-you are seen to push and forc ing this long, sharp hat-pin into your wrist slowly—pushing this right through your 3s f t wrist u n t i l hat-pin is about half-way through.—(?) Looking at audience seriously and speaking in a low tone—explaining— that only a f t e r tho deepest concentration that can your sense of f e e l -ing be disconnected from your brain. Attention is brought to w r i s t -showing both s ides . Af ter a few seconds grip end of pin pulling i t out of wrist slowly and'foign a l i t t l e d i f f i c u l t y in t h i s . Use a l i t -t i e dramatic expression, (You know,SHOWMANSHIP of a Master of the A r t ) ,

Pin i s now out and again f r e e . Have same spectator untie the knots you immediately grab handkerchief and unwind i t from your wrist and -shake i t from your hand and throw i t (I should say - place it on -table) . So i t seems to audience that there is nothing in handkerchiefl

Now, wrist i s shown on both sides LO AND BEHOLD and there is a spot of blood on both sid es of wrist and exactly at the points where the needle has entered ( ? ) . Where the pin has came out through the -opposite s ide .

Performer looks at audience a minute-—stares a few seconds t o one 3ide of the theatre and thd other 3 i d e (right and l e f t a i s les and then bows his hoad awaiting applause. And if your head i s maintained in this position long enough you are BOUND TO HEAR APPLAUSE.

SECRET:- Audience does not know that your bandana kankerchief is prepared. The middle of handkerchief has an extra piece to match-aboit six inches square sewn on. This extra piece hides the "gimmic tube".

This tube (ag you w i l l notice in SKETCH POUR) is made of l / 8 "brass tubing about 3 l / 2 inches long and i t so made that i t f i t s somewhat -l ike an arch with ends turned out straight . An archod tunnel for hat -pin to go through while the " g i m m i c k e d " handkerchief i s wrapped a-bout l e f t wri s+---

The hat-pin must BE FLEXIBLE AND MUST BE A FOOT OR LONGER FORS BEST RESULTS.

While handkerchief bandana i s being tied---unknown to spectator & audience f i x tube (in hanndkerchief) in position so i t adjusts i t s e l f around the wrist , as you see in SKETCH FOUR. (Blood spots caused by red crayon wax or red ink in the pretense of looking at wrist while holding i t a f t o r handkerchief.) (Also secretly applied in the pre-tense while Holing wrist to stop flow of blood).

You can£ find the tube-entrance through handkerchief i f you have previously placed there an ink-spot — so you can find i t with" ease just before you thrust pin through.

Doing this tr ick once or twice w i l l make you acquainted with an ef fect that in i t s very simplicity l i e s a rastcrpiece of Hypnotic Magic i f r i g h t l y performed and presented w i l l mystify the brightest audic-nces.

I w i l l not say, there eyes w i l l bulge in amazement but the response you wi l l receive in the form of applause w i l l convince you that this trick indeed, serves or deserves i ts place in any Hypnotist's reper-to ire .

So my dear reader, you cannot doubt me, for I have performed i t & received much pleasure in the performance of t h i s l i t t l e favorite-and now it i s up to 7/ou to perform this neat l i t t l e trick and receive the amusemon b and applause always given in return to the performer whom the audienco thinks is accredited or g i f ted with'unusual power3.

SKETCH FOUR

PHANTOM EYES

I f you compliment one of your subjects saying that he has a ve3?y i n t e l l i g e n t brain that the best thing he possesses i s his keen eyesight why-he is even able to see in the dark. (Speak to subject in this way-) Why, haven't you some times seen objects in the dark, why certainly you have. Let us try ari experiment. W e ' l l put out the l i g h t s and I want you to t e l l me' the; honest t r u t h — j u s t the exact truth and nothing else, , Understand? ;

The l ights are out you make a few mesmeric passes over his f o r e -head and temples and t e l l him to keep eye3 closed for a minute.

You then use tho thumb and fore f inger and press into the eyeballs close to the none. I f you have press somewhat in two successions (You ask subject i f he has seen anything.) Try t h i s stunt on yourself and notice the best method f o r r e s u l t s . He w i l l see a phosphorescent glow in each corner of the eye. Very interesting experiment i f done r i g h t .

Now a f t e r he has seen something like this 3ay; "Nov/, look in my direction and you w i l l f ind I am exerting an hypnotic influence over your body 1 am gazing d irect ly into your eyeballs you w i l l be able to see my eyes shining in the dark you w i l l your eyes are becomirg accustomed to the darkne3s you can see you w i l l see. e tc .

Nov; do you sec my eyes staring at you gazing at you—-don' t you? Answer mei You could? That 's f inet Now we w i l l put on the l i g h t s .

SECRET:- Two small r ings about l / 4 inch in diameter-width of ring being one-eight of nn inch. (Something that sel la -8 in s t a t i o n -ery and o f f i c e supply stores for the repair of torn holes in loose-leaf note books. Paper rings that contains g l u e . ) Using these with luminous paint on i t of any color .

Previous to performing this t o s t you have exposed these luminous painted ring3 to a strong l ight f o r a 'half -minute or 30. Then place them in your pockot. Or keep them on ahelf in f u l l view of l i g h t , unknown to spectators.

As soon as l igat are turned out (while in the dark) you paste one o f oach of these luminou3 rings over your Gyoli^j (in the dark do those with your back towards f a c i n g spectator Now keep them out of view of spectator and audience u n t i l th2 time i 3 ready for i t . Tell subject t o cI030 eyes. Then when ready—turn around and face specta -tor then work tho f inger stunt into the eyeballs (as described above). Then-tel l subject to open eyes—THEN STAND BACK A FEW FEET AND LET THE LUMINOUS KENGS (THAT ARE PASTED ON TOP OF EYES) C (ME TO VIM (IN DARK) SO SPECTATOR CAN SEE IT. TO SPECTATOR THIS WHEN WITNESSED WILL PRODIEE A WEIRD EERIE EFFECT. Grasp s u b j e c t ' s hands when coming c loser (th is holding of hands w i l l convince spectator (wihtout ca l l ing to the fact d i r e c t l y ) that you DO NOT USE YOUR HANDS TO PRODUCE THIS ILLUSION) The subjects sees this and you holding your hands w i l l a l so prevent -him from bringing h i s hands to your eyes aa some spectators you w i l l f ind do t h i s . He w i l l not understand how 3uch an e f f e c t can be done. He w i l l f e e l a cold c h i l l travel up and down-his spine f o r seeing eyes in the dark is something that w i l l convince him that your 07/03 shine or glow. When you're through—remove these rings before l ights are cn.

WHISTLE IP YOU CAN

Hero i s an excellont t e s t . I t w i l l amazo you. TRY ITI Have some one stand in front of you facing you. Distance should "be about a f o o t .

Ask him to whistle some popular song, something of recent date, (the reason I say recent i s , i t requires a degree of concontration— which brings about the mind of thinking of the song.) Which is tho desired r e s u l t , )

Do not inform your subject beforehand just what you are to do.

Now while ho i s whist l ing , bring in s i g h t , a half- lcmon and bogin sucking on i t , and i t between times give suggestions to the o f f o c t that the lemon is sour, green and b i t t e r , so acid , so green, so b i t -ter that i t would make him "wrinkle" up his whole f a c e . I f you give him a s u f f i c i e n t amount o f suggostions then WATCH HIM STOP WHIST*-LING AND WATCH his e f f o r t s — H E BLOWS INSTEAD OP WHISTLE. "13uch to tho amusement of tho audienco.

I have had groat success with th is laugh-provoking stunt. You R'EALLY DO NOT REQUIRE THE LEMONj but simply stand facing subject g i v -ing him a running f i r o of suggestions about how groon, b i t t e r and sour this lemon i s . Then WATCH BLOW.

But when caning across a d i f f i c u l t subject and ho continues to whistle while you arc giving suggostions; woll tho bost thing is to be prepared; i s to tako out (much to his surpriso, unoxpectodly) A REAL HALF-LEMON ANEB EGIN TO DO YOUR DUTY. HE WILL SURELY STOP WHIST-LING WHEN HE SEES THE LEMON, (and hearing your suggostions simultan-eously) .

Lot me re late a l i t t l e incident that has soitkj connection with t h i s a r t i c l e . I was cal led upon quite unexpectedly and just whon I was on-joying myself immensely at a Nito-club one ouoning. The mastor of ceremonies .bogged me to come to the center of the f loor (whero tho dazzle of the spotl ight shone upon many c e l e b r i t i e s who had performed there)—and perform a t e s t or two in HYPNOTISM. When l istening t o the music and keenly watching tho ochestra playihg so w i l d l y and fovorish-ly gave me an excellent idea for an Hypnotic tes t so I began:

"Ladies and Gentlemen:- your gracious master of ceremonies has requested mo to perform for you a few experiments in HYPNOTISM.

No doubt, most of you are familiar with the news d a i l i e s which - - i f you notice—are printing a l l news concerning Hypnotism and unusu-a l mental phenomena. Even in the comics you w i l l f i n d a r ich ro l iah of jokes and humor along the linos sometimes boaring upon Hypnotism.

Don't you think a f ter deducing a l l those f a c t 3 that there must bo something to i t ?

The minds of people at every moment of the day ore receiving sug-gestions and re-acting upon them. When we witness a " talkie picturo" we f e e l i t , experience i t s every emotion, we even vibrate with tiiis throbbing dramatic and r e a l - l i f e - l i k e story.

j continued - —

; 'Now, just think that you can now f e e l th is delecious music coming from your ochestra, your wonderful ochestra . '

| "By the way, that gives me an idea . " i

| 'Tonite—I am going to attempt one of science 's greatest perplex-i t i e s . I w i l l - — w i t h tiie power of suggestion cause everyone in tho ochostra—hero TO STOP PLAYING THEIR INSTRUMENTS. (Suggest to them that they i f they could kindly play a slow w a l t z . )

Now—watch and l i s t e n ' :

(Do not mention to the audience—"but nevertheless you should use only those musicians that play instruments that require blowing.) iYou know, c larly tho reason for t h i s . )

| I gave tho suggestions while I was standing face the ochostra as a band leader would. I—making wry expressions, and t e l l i n g them their mouth and tongue and lips f i r 3 t becoming dry, They cannot blow their instruments. Now their mouth—NOW—RIGHT NOW you can f e e l i s becom-

i n g so watery so wet so watery so overflowing with sal iva so watery that thoy cannot play-—simply cannot and i t && absolutely im-possible to continue playing your l i p s are becm&ng so slippery on the instrumonts—slipping a l l over your mouth ia so wet- -ao watery-you cannot play any longer . "

I By keeping up this f i r e running of suggestions, they at intervals ; ceased blowing their instruments then they stopped altogether and just sat there with instruments back on their laps and just staring blank at mc, in a s t a t e - l i k e - t r a n c e - o f confusion. They could not play THEY HAD STOPPED AND CEASED ALTOGETHER.

This scene produced ia one of the most hi larious stunts that w i l l bring rcaponae and applause and plenty laugha. Try i t .

! This went ovor "BIG" and the Nite-c lub patrons were for me in - — i "A BIG WAY". The senaation produced upon the audience was at f i r s t , MYSTIFYING—and—-AMAZING—then ROARS OF LAUGHTER—and the thundering ; applause that followed r e a l l y proved to the management and to the aud-; ience and to myself that this seemingly impossible miracle was a huge ; success.

This concludes another t h r i l l i n g and highly successful ly publicity miracle in tiie co lor - l ights of my career gaining f o r me a rocogni -

. tion ard popularity never dreamed o f .

PENETRATION X-RAY TEST.

Performer can make h is skin transparent. Not many hypnotists ' are acquainted with this secret . I f you excercise showmanship you w i l l Completely b a f f l e the brightest -of audiences, doctors, and etc.

Medium must have ooncealed in shirt sleeve a small container f o r this solution — so audience w i l l not see i t when he stands facing them. Container on back side of arm, away from audience palm held open. You w i l l nfct-lce this s ide of the arm of the arm has a greater number of blood vessels under skin. This means better r e s u l t s .

Medium stands there with his shirt sleeves rol led up now his l e f t hand s l ides over in container quickly and indetectably. (That side of arm i s away from the audience so they cannot see this move). Whole contents i s emptied into the palm of l e f t hand—now hand rubs briskly OVER RIGHT ARM. To r i d of container the l e f t hand gives sleeve one extra r o l l and noW everything i s out of sight under fo lds of sleeve* Now you can f r e e l y show arm back and front for there i s nothing to see. To do t h i s just r i g h t you must use a l i t t l e d e x t e r -i t y and showmanship pattering about this great power you possess. This move is simple and easy i f done natural. Rub a l i t t l e slower and tak-ing your time for the skin to become dry and transparent. (Don't forget this is an e f f e c t that you must not rush through in a slip-shod manner but take it easy and perform i t with the grace and ease of an actor who emphasizes certain points with dramatic a b i l i t y .

The solution is made up of : Three parts of s a l i c y l i c menthyl ester and one part cf benzyl benzoate. Order them from the Department of Organic Compounds, Eastman Kodal̂ Company of Rochester, New York.

HYPNOTISM AND MIND CONTROL,ACT.

EFFECT: - Perfoimer causes audience of one,- two or more spectators taste candy and medicine in some strange manner by control of mind.

SECRET:- Yes, a b i t of apparatus is used. Procure a novelty from any store that se l ls r.ia&ic tr icks and joke n o v e l t i e s - - c a l l e d "Flate L i f t e r " Consists of a length of rubber tubing attached to rubber bulb with a rubber bladder on the other end. Remove the thin rubber bladder. Place in rubber bulb a small amount of "Saccharin Soluble Merch powder U.S. P. which i s 550 times sweeter than sugar. Obtainable from druggists or wholesale drug houses* FOR PRESENTATION: - Attach the thin tubing to the bare arm by two more rubber bands. The bulb comes d i r e c t l y under the armpit and the

. end of tube runs down to the w r i s t . When'the coat replaced on — this apparatus 4-3 hidden. Make mesmeric passes over subject and in act of doing BO—-you press s l i g h t l y on the bulb under armpit whioh causes a b i t of t h i s "Saccharin" to be sprayed into the atmosphere close to the face of subject. So the smallest amount of this-coming M contact with the l ips of subjeot w i l l cause a n intense taste of sweetness in mouth of the spectator. The Medicine Taste i s worked right a f ter the Candy Test so pump out enough Saccharin and s t a l l a l i t t l e time by — pattering by explaining your mind control l ing the subjects mind and Dody, Another plate l i f t e r concealed in your other arm can contain sneezing powder or itching powder and sprayed out in the same way.

" P A L M S U P ! "

First try this experiment yoursel f . Stand close to a wall now place the "back of tho r ight hand up

against the wall now the l e f t hand or the back of the l e f t hand should bo inside the palm of the hand (at the height of your h i p ) . Now place your against these both hands and apply a steady firm pres-sure f o r a whole minute.

I f you have th is r i g h t l y done you w i l l f ind that when you step •back from the wall and l o t your right hand hang down you w i l l f e e l your right hand come up automatically as i f there i s some power pull ing i t right up,

; Now get this straight i f vou want tho best r e s u l t s . You must ap-Jply a very firm pressure for a f u l l minute before you w i l l f e e l that the right w i l l ra ise i t s e l f automatically.

Tho cause of this i s : the r o f l e x action as a result of norvo tension which is produced as described.

Using the above test method on any spectator while giving sugges-tions that you can raise h is hand by tho forco of your hypnotic power?

" H A N D S U P I "

By holding spectator 's both hahds against h i s , s i d e , s tra ight , grip-ping (with your second finger of oach hand) his pant3 pockets. (His arms aro straight and s t i f f ) .

Same time t e l l i n g him to use n i l hi3 farce in trying to ra iso h i s hands sidewards and upwards for about twenty seconds. (Hecannot do anything but just exert a force , for h i s hands aro grasped by you and you holding his side pockets and hands same time )

And that as soon as you l e t go ho should relax and l e t his arms hang free TELLING HIM THAT YOUR HYPNOTIC BOWER IS NOW DRAWING UP HIS ARMS — AND HIS ARMS WILL COME WITHOUT THE SLIGHTEST ASSISTANCE ON THE SPECTATOR' S PART.

The pressing against his sides and you r e s i s t i n g h i s force causes a nerve tension of both of whole arms. Spectator w i l l bo amazed bo-caus e he cannot explain why his arms do come up so mysteriously.

THREE HYPNOTIC RIGID TESTS.

Subject i s seemingly hypnotized. While in t h i s state he is seat-ed—his right arm is l i f t e d up—sleovos rolled up leaving arm bare and free of any preparation. By mesmeric passes of the performer the arm is made RIGID ( ? ) . The seating posiiije of subject must be as in SKETCH ONE, facing audience. Back of chair i s placed facing right side (Pac-ing right wing) so his right arm is placed over the top of this chair-topk—elbow resting over and on top another chair-top (which is placed a foot away. SEE SKETCH ONE), on this rests the wrist. (Use chairs with top of them straight so as to cause no d i f f i c u l t y or inoonenience to the subject . )

New have a spectator come up upon the stage- -or use vcrur a s s i s t -ant (which i s best ) . Now have your assistant (or yourself) help him to step (from the standing position of another chair in back) up onto the am of hypnotized subject. Have a stool on the chair in back--so assistant ha3 an even level to step off from—and right onto arm which i s very easi ly done. Sketch #1 shows this complete t e s t . (Minus s t o o l ) .

Holding your hand open towards this completed test and bow slight - l y a rri await applause. Now after this have assistant helped of f from the standing position on am--back onto stool->»on top of chair-~on to f l o o r . Take your time and be careful to prevent accidents. NOTE:- I t i s better to have your assistant- -rather than a spectator- - for t h i s ' i s a very sensitive tes t and his rou$r. shoes may be a l i t t l e too rough* (Your assistant w i l l always know what to do 'and when to do it and she or he has on soft shoes--and last cf all-how to maintain equlibriun. > SECRET:- The supporting of this heavy weight seems a lot for an arm of this s ize . A person standing on fti 6 arm i s onlv a pressure on the soft muscles of the arm acting as a cushion which absorbs some of the weight and pressure. The two bones of the arm are naturally very — -strong. A wdight of 500 pounds placed on the right arm between elbow and wrist was shown to cause not even the s l ightest pain-'or discomfort to the subject»

SKETCH TWO — shows another Very practical t e s t . Use any subject or assistant or natural strength and you find i f you do this r ight he w i l l easi ly support the weight of 450 pounds without much d i f f i c u l t y as according to SKETCH TWO, Notice that there is very l i t t l e weight in the middle being only one person, The other two are only standing at above the position'of where the body rests on the chairs. This set up i f later recalled by any member of the audience wi l l give the im-pression that three persons were standing in the MIDDLE of H y p n o t i z e d subject. This is a clever misdirection even a't the time of the TESTJ

SKETCH THREE — How look at this Sketch #3 very carefully . Shoulders rest on the top of one chair a rd back of the ankles on the other chair-T0Pt Now be sure when having your assistant (or spectaA tor) he has one foot placed on chest — j u s t a l i t t l e hi^ier than the abdomen other foot placed lower than abdomen. Subject can easily support a person standing on him. I f subject Is a l i t t l e husky fce' can suppufct two persons averaging even 140 to 160 pounds or more/ Even a 200 pound f l a t rock placed on his chest can be broken with a sledge-hammer without much d i f f i c u l t y , ffhe fcrce of the blows of the hammer w i l l be absorbed by the rock before they reach the chest.

Challenge anyone if they can duplicate this feat cf strength. You can even f o r f e i t $50 or more i f they could do i t . Don't worry. You ' l l always win for when a stranger cornea up (The bigger they are the better i t i s for their f a i l u r e ) When they are as in Sketch #3 you step right up—and when you step off chair - - just step right into his abdomen (stomach) and watch HIM PALL DOWN LIKE A TON OF BRICKS III YOUR POPULARITY WILL BE INCREASED & PEOPLE WILL NOT DOUBT YCUR WORD PROM THEN ON.
