Silent Thought Transmission by H. J. Burlingame (4 Vols)
ONE OF THE MOST mysterious and entertaining feats of late years has been the act, known under the above title, in which a person, preferably a lady, is blindfolded by the performer. She remains on the stage while the performer goes amidst the audience and when anything is handed or shown to him he merely glances at it, then points his finger at the lady medium on the stage when she immediately describes what he has seen although he does not speak a single word. Any request whispered in his ear is immediately carried out by the lady without a word being spoken by either of them. When properly introduced, this act is a perfect one of its kind and cannot be duplicated except by people who have an understanding of this kind of business, and even then they could not duplicate it without much ingenuity in devising the silent code of signals which is used.
