Choose Your “Subject.”
Pick out your “subject” or person whom you will operate with carefully. Avoid those of the extremely skeptical or “know it all” kind. Do not try to do much with women, unless they are aged and believe you to be a medium; in fact those who believe in you will be your best assistants. Do not select as an accompanist, a person who is about your own age; such a person is usually jealous, and does not want you to succeed. Avoid lawyers and doctors as assistants; they are recognized as being more adept in all things than the balance of mankind, therefore they will oppose you on general principles. The best “subjects” are clergymen, aged people and believers in spiritualism. Although most mind readers allow pins to be hidden, a knife, or pocket book will do quite as well and is easier to locate when near.
Before trying anything of this sort in public, practice well. Remember that you cannot acquire all in a day.
This is the full secret of mind reading as it is practiced in the parlors or on the stage by people who make it their business.
By careful practice at home you can after a few weeks become an expert if you wish.
It doesn’t require a professional mind reader to discover that a man thinks more of a beautiful well formed woman, than he does of a woman with a “muddy” skin or flat chest.
Women who wish to become beautiful, or men who wish to see their wives and sweethearts beautiful should write to Mrs. Helen Marko, Box 3032, N. Y. City, for her private circular regarding bust development, and fair complexion.
