From the estate book collection of a retired professional magician.
North Bigbee (1903-1979) was an amateur magician, newspaperman, playwright, screenwriter, and free-lance magazine writer. This first edition book was published in 1962, specifically with the working mentalist in mind.Author North Bigbee includes 40 various stage mentalism presentations. His material includes billet switches, book tests, impression devices, ESP card effects, predictions, design duplication, ad tests, psychometry, and much more. These routines easily hold up to the test of time- they are great for today's audiences.Best of all, nearly every routine uses either no props or uses those you can easily make up yourself using inexpensive items.
