Progressive Anagrams or similar thoughts:

PA's probably started with Henri Decremps in 1785, Le Cygne ingénieux. But there are also mentions of a man named Stanley Collins and a date back in the 1920's.

Note: Not all of the following mentions are routines with anagrams. Some here I mentioned, because they are very similar to the idea and/or very good mind-reading products that helped me to get to where I am with my routine today.
