Comments: From the book: "If a magician could discover a card merely thought of by a spectator, it would certainly be a miracle! A good mental card effect, to be successful, must approximate genuine mindreading as closely as possible. It must be founded upon a simple method and then be performed in a direct to the point manner. The five effects in this booklet involve either mindreading or prediction. If they are properly presented, they will appear as "miracles" in the true sense of the word."
