USDDESCRIPTION
In the 1950s, New York mentalist Ed Stoddard released his own carefully-guarded sealed message reading technique to the fraternity. Here's the Max Holden description for the manuscript: A wonderful advanced utility routine, one man, presented with no apparatus other than cards and envelopes (not even scissors!). Do it anywhere, anytime. Subjects seal their cards (with their initials on the back) in fair opaque envelopes. Initials are evident the moment cards come into view and are returned with no switch of any kind! You tear the envelopes open, too - as a genuine mentalist would. It is, believe it or not, a one-ahead that is NOT a one-ahead! With presentation that successfully avoids the awkward “opening to verify” dodge. Detailed, illustrated instructions. Recommended for advance workers only. 6 pages, re-typeset.
