A friend of mine taught me how to learn the alphabet backwards in 5 minutes.
I forgot but I think he does this on stage? Anyway I was thinking about this latly and I thought it might be cool to use this on stage as a closer. Might be a bad idea, but its and idea at least. Thougts? zyxwvutsrqponmlkjihgfedcba It really does work.

Of course it works, several mentalists use it in their programs.

Is there a place to learn this online or in a book? Sounds like something fun to play around with.

Check out Mentalism Inc. by Chuck Hickok as he has a great routine.

It was Chuck's book I was thinking of when I made my post (couldn't remember it then) GREAT book! Actually Both of them are.

IMHO this is too good a stunt to just give away. I get great reactions from writing the alphabet backwards whilst saying it forwards. Not really magic, but great for mentalists.
Magically yours,

I teach my 5-7 year old school children how to sing it backwards. Basically, group the letters in 3's, like this: zyx wvu tsrq ponm lkj ihg fed cba. The cba is sung quite slowly. Useful for impressing people, or good for working backwards when using a phone book or dictionary.
The presentation makes the magic.

I learned it from an old Harry Blackstone Jr book (might have been in name only) where they broke it into 7 words, which you then just had to remember how to spell.
