Annemann's Super Card Miracles by Theodore Annemann. Theodore 'Theo' Annemann born Theodore John Squires (February 22, 1907 – January 12, 1942) was an American professional magician. In 1934 he became the editor of the famous magazine The Jinx, published primarily for magicians. The magazine was primarily focused on mentalism, but did also feature ground-breaking effects from other fields of magic. Though he presented himself as a "professional mind reader" he published several works on card magic. Annemann's Super Card Miracles is the first one he publihed and in this little booklet you find a small but fantastic collection of the finest card tricks. The effects are clearly described by the author and completed with a drawing. With these clear descriptions and drawings, he precisely describes the method needed to achieve the desired effect. Includes illustrations. In the EDITORS INTRODUCTION we read: If the reader desires super-mysteries of the card order, which create their effects without the use of a lot of difficult sleights, and which neither employ nor require any skill in manipulation, then this collection will solve his problem perfectly. Although this is small booklet, as contains only 6 card tricks, every trick is a germ on its own. Fantastic collection!

( Mind reading, thought transmission, prophecy, miracle s...)
Mind reading, thought transmission, prophecy, miracle slate routines, and other "psychic" effects are among the most impressive tricks in any magician's repertoire. Their power to amaze and dumbfound an audience is unparalleled in the domain of stage magic. In this volume, one of the greatest of all mental magicians reveals the secrets behind nearly 200 astonishing feats of mental magic. The routines encompass 12 major categories: Effects with Billets and Pellets; Envelope Necromancy; Publicity Effects; Miracle Slate Routines; Dead or Alive; Money Mentalism; Book Tests; Blindfold Reading; Thought Foretold; Mentalism with Cards; Miscellaneous Mental Masterpieces; and Psychic Codes. Theodore Annemann, through his own performances and editorship of Jinx magazine, probably did more than anyone else to popularize this branch of entertainment. Now, his extensive knowledge, experience, and know-how are at your fingertips in this comprehensive collection. Here are the closely guarded tricks of the trade behind such astonishing effects as Pseudo-Psychometry, one of the greatest one-man psychic effects ever achieved; Who Killed Mr. X? — a classic routine that combines both magic and mind reading with a triple mystery and a novel presentation; and The Swami Test, a demonstration of prophecy first popularized around 1920. Annemann himself came up with some 16 variations on this popular and much-practiced effect. My Own Swami Test is one of his best. These and scores of other crowd-pleasers are here, each thoroughly explained and diagrammed, with insiders' tips on techniques, staging, patter, plants and confederates, diversions — everything you need to make any trick a foolproof success. No special equipment is required; just traditional magic props and a willingness to learn from one of magic's legendary figures. Although written for professional magicians, the step-by-step detail, clarity and inclusiveness of this collection, along with the author's intimate knowledge of the stage performer's needs, make this a volume that will benefit magicians at every level of expertise.
