Comments: "Revised, enlarged, and illustrated edition. A Gigantic collection of complete Mentalism methods, secrets, instructions, routines, acts, programs, shows." Part one of three volumes. This is an expanded version of the earlier "Dictionary of Mentalism" released in 1960. From the Foreword, "The original edition of the "Dictionary" contained
a rather large amount of personal editorial comment which, though of sincere concern to Mr. Hull, provided no pertinent information and distracted from the real value of the book. This material has been deleted to make room for additional content, enabling us to supplement this work with more great mental effects and routines. More than 100 line drawings have been added to this work to help you understand and enjoy the material herein."
