Charles Baudelaire and also "Who is Keyser Soze? He is supposed to be Turkish. Some say his father was German. Nobody believed he was real. Nobody ever saw him or knew anybody that ever worked directly for him, but to hear Kobayashi tell it, anybody could have worked for Soze. You never knew. That was his power. The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. And like that, poof. He's gone. " from the usual suspects. |

Thank you for letting me momentarily derail this thread.
Best, Neil P.S. Favorite Annemann effect? If I could modify that to favorite Annemann contribution, I'd say his editor's column in the Jinx was worth the price of admission all by itself. If you haven't read it, you should.

"The Mystery of the Blackboard." was invented by Paul Rosini, not Annemann.

"The Mystery of the Blackboard" was originally described by Annemann in the very first issue of the Jinx in October of 1934 (on page four). The write-up was by Annemann and there was no reference to Paul Rosini, which is odd considering that they were friends and the Rosini was featured in the magazine on several occasions over the years.
Since Annemann was the first to describe the effect in print it has always been associated with him. (It was also included in his first "Mental Club Act" booklet.) I don't doubt that Rosini may have mentioned something similar to Annemann, but it certainly isn't clear that he originated the move. What is your source and are you referring to the effect itself or the "turn around" move? And it is the MOVE, not the effect, that I was referring to earlier in this newly resurrected old thread. BTW- welcome to the Café. How about introducing yourself to us? Good thoughts, Bob |

I have to correct myself- the act I was referring to wasn't in a separate booklet, it was in a later issue of the Jinx itself.

I would love to perform this Mystery of the Blackboard sometime though. I was thinking of purchasing Osterlind's Stainless Steel Blindfold for it.
Bob you have always seemed quite fond of this effect, is it something you have performed alot? |

I will go for 4DT as well. I as many others have been inspired of both Mr Mavens version as Mr Cassidys. I have made my version which I included in the DVD for the Travel agency deck. When I was about to release TAD I was talking to Luca Volpe, and he mention that my deck could be great together with the one a head principle. My first thought then was Annemann (the second was Osterlinds white trash basket which is both funny and great, I think)
What I like with the concept is that it is so easy to use and adapt to different situations. When I first used Mr Cassidys version I got a huge reaction, and the fun part was that I was holding a lecture I mentalism in my local magic circle. The first part of that version without the fxxxe is a great contribution I think. I have then done both that version and the original in different situations. I like the impromptu touch to the original. Three envelopes and a book for an impromptu book test, is the first choice when I am asked to do a miracle in an unprepared situation. |

As far as Annemann effects go, I love performing his Question and the Answer. I use one of Bob's suggested s****hes that I think is in his Artful Mentalism vol. 2.
I saw on one of Osterlind's DVDs where he says that he knows of no professionals performing this regularly. I am thinking of using it as a lead in for a Q&A/Thought Reading act. I know it wasnt orignally from Annemann but in his PME I love performing the Germain Gem. Reputation Maker! |

Stuart Cumberland's 2005 release of Annemann's "Complete One Mental & Psychic Routine" is incredible.
My favourite routine is Stuart's version of Annemanns "Telephone Drama/Dead Name Test", performed this hundreds of times over the last 10 years and it is so powerful. I also perform "Question and the Answer" quite often and that is a winner. Cheers, Paul. |

I have used, and frequently modified virtually every billet based routine devised by Annemann. I still firmly believe that billet work, done properly, is the most valuable technical skill a mentalist can possess.

But I've used the method often, most notably in my stage version of Russian Roulette with four loaded pistols. My main contribution to the idea was changing its timing. I do the move, which is disarmingly bold as it is, AFTER I've begun my revelations rather than before. This is a technique I've adapted to most of my work and it is one of the cornerstones of my theory of the Logical Disconnect. (Always do your "work" on the off-beat and never when the heat is on. The more time that separates a necessary move and the ultimate effect, the better.) The proper timing of a move move is just as important as its proficient execution. This is a very important lesson that is often misunderstood even by those who should know better. Good thoughts, Bob |
