exposed view of the gimmick inside.
Cut out a piece of copy paper, slightly smaller than a playing card and glue
this to the face of one of the jokers with rubber cement. See Photo 11. This
card will serve as your  impression card. In performance this card is placed
on the bottom of the deck, so the piece of paper faces the carbon gimmick
on the card case. Change the paper after each performance. One final tip,
you can remove or clean up excess rubber cement by lightly rubbing your
fingers over it until it  balls up, then discard.
When someone uses the card case as a writing surface, the impression will
be transferred to the paper. Photo 12 shows an exposed view after the
name of a card has been written down.

To perform, begin with the deck inside the  Impression Card Case. The impression card  the joker with the
piece of paper glued to its face  faces the prepared side of the card case. You ll also need a few slips of paper,
2-1/2 x 3-1/2 in size, and a small golf pencil. The smaller the pencil the better, since it forces the spectator
to press down harder  resulting in a better impression. You can also use a ballpoint pen. If you do, shake it
once as you hand it to the person, mentioning it may be running low on ink. This will make the person press
down harder as well.

In reading these instructions, remember that a correct and showman like presentation is essential. The means
may be simple, though subtle, and, in this case, the information comes into the performer s hands in the most
natural and clean manner possible.
I contend that this is as direct an exhibition of apparent thought reading as can be presented, that is, outside of
a GENUINE demonstration, which at present is impossible.
A spectator (generally a prominent party of your gathering) is asked forward. The performer explains that he
is about to attempt something which heretofore has been considered impossible. The spectator is asked to
merely THINK of any card in the pack of 52* playing cards and to change around as often as he wishes until
satisfied. When the spectator acknowledges this latter point, the performer picks up the paper and pencil and
explains that because of the fact that the spectator has changed his thoughts several times, he had better write
the name of the thought of card on the paper and then fold same and put in his own pocket. No one is to see
it and the real reason for same is to prevent further changes and to protect performer. It is remarked that a
catastrophe would certainly result if the spectator were to again change his mind at the last moment.
As an afterthought, the deck is picked up, the paper placed on same and all handed spectator. The performer
turns his back while the writing is done. When the paper has been placed in pocket, the performer takes the
pencil and deck, telling the spectator to merely keep thinking of the card intently. Opening the case, the deck is
removed, facing performer always, and the case dropped into pocket or on table as desired. The pack is fanned
and performer looks through same, finally removing a card which he places face down on the spectator s
outstretched hand. Walking away the performer requests the spectator to name his card for the first time and
then hold up the card so all can see. IT IS THE CARD HE MERELY THOUGHT OF!
Of course, it is obvious that when the pack was removed, the face card bore the exact impression of what
the spectator wrote and therefore in the most simple and natural manner possible, the performer learned the
name of the correct card to locate and proceed with.
The lack of cumbersome material or apparatus, the cleanness of the working, and the general effect of this trick
make it one of the most perfect of its kind ever conceived.
