| practical mental magic: Practical Mental Influence William W Atkinson, 2018-02-07 There is nothing unscientific, nothing romantic in admitting that an idea can influence a brain from a distance. The action of one human being upon another, from a distance, is a scientific fact. When a Thought or Feeling is generated in the mind or brain of a person, the energy generated flows forth from the brain of the person in the form of waves of mental energy, spreading from the immediate neighborhood of the thinker to a distance proportioned to the strength of the thought or feeling. These Thought-Waves have the property of awakening similar vibrations in the minds of other persons coming within their field of force, according to the laws of Mental Influence. |

Clear, commercial prediction systems. Offbeat treatments of classic mental effects from Add-a-Number to Out of This World.Thirty items are described and explained in twenty-one chapters.

One employs a pack of ESP symbol cards. All are intelligently explained and laced with commentary and discussion. Come for the thought-provoking card effects; stay for the conversation. |

It responds to the proper efforts, no matter by whom exerted, or for what purpose called into effect. (Extract) |
