NEW JERSEV07721Mns. "D" of THE DUNNINGER MYST IC SERIESAn Al Mann ExclusiveFOREWORDThis may very well be the most valueble manuscript ofthis series, as within the pages that follow is a gold mineof billet secrets.As the reader can see, it is not thesimple secret that sells the effect but the medium's orperformer's presentation.Dunninger spent a lot of time and money visiting theparlours of the mediums to study their secrets which he soexpertly reports here.Most oft~esesecrets sole indi-vidually for $10 or more. The Kara method "A Mystic's Favo-rite," sold for$501Dunninger was the first to point out the importance ofthe "Psychometric" aspect of billet work, which made CharlesFoster and Bert Reese world famous. This treatise was alsothe first to report by eye-witness accounts, the mannerismsand showmanship of the mediums.It is certain that the reader, however knowledgeable hemay be in billet work, will find something new here.NOTEI The allegations printed in the Hades letter forSeptember of1983,that the Dunninger Mystio series hadbeen serielized in the Sphinx and The Jinx is totally untrue.The original Dunninger Mystic Series was Compiled, writ-ten, and sold by David J. Lustig with Dunninger's per-mission. It was named The Dunninger Mystic Series when itwas issued and was so exclusive that many well versed Men-talists today had never heard of it.P.S. All writings under "notes· are by Al Mann.f. ts/m/fm2MAST~RBILL~T~STSMs. "D"THE DUNNINGER MYSTroSERIES-II:SillL1Jt,~it,tet"t6tThe medium sea{s himself apposite the sitter at a table. Onthe table lies a number of slips of paper. After a lengthy talkon psychic phenomena and billet or message reading, the sitter isasked to tie a large handkerchief over the medium's eyes.Medium sits quietly for a few seconds after being blindfoldedand then asks the sitter to write a message or a question on oneof the slips of paper. Then to either fold the paper in half orplace it writing side down on the table."Now kindly examine the knots you have tied in the handkerchief.Make sure they are still secure and that I have in no way attemp-ted to untie them. If you find that the blindfold is not tightlyplaced on my eyes you may open the knots and again tie them astight as you please. I want you to be convinced." patters themedium.The medium bends across the table and allows the sitter to ex-amine the knots. Medium continues to patter along these linestrying to convince the sitter that everything is fair and squareand above board.What really happens is that while the attention of the sitteris misdirected from the billet lying on the table and while heor she is examining the knots, the medium has leaned across thetable, opened the billet and sighted the message by looking downhis nose. It is a natural move for the medium to lean a bit acrossthe table for the convenience of the sitterlImmediately after the sitter is convinced that the knots aresecurely tied the medium gives an appropriate answer to the querywritten.This test is used at private sittings by quite anumber of mediums and has completely fooled hundreds.NOTE. Dunninger did a masterful job of minutely noting everymove that the medium did in the above effect. The medium presentedthe test expertly and superbly. Every move made by the medium hada psychological wallop for the observer. First, the medium deli-vers his lecture in Psi Phenomena. This impressesthe sitter ofthe fact that the medium is indeed genuine and fills the sitterwith great expectations.Secondly, before any writing is done, the sitter blindfoldsthe mediumlThirdly, after the blindfold is in place, the medium sitsquietly for a few seconds. This is done for 'effect,' and tocreate the atmosphere to impress the sitter, implying a moment ofprofound silence and deep concentrationlFourth. It appears that the medium never touches the writtenmessage. As he leans across the table, bending over about 90degrees, his whole back shields most of the table so that openingthe billet with one hand becomes elementary. Note that the billetis only folded once or turned over.Fifth. The sitter places the blindfold on the medium and re-examines the knots. Besides, the sitter does not know "that theJMAST ERBILLE.~TEST SMS. "D"cont. ••THE DUNNINGER MYSTIC SERIESA SIMPLE BILLE.'T TESTmedium can see by looking down his nose. After glimpsing themessage, the medium refolds it and leaves it in the same placeimplying that he has never touched the message slip!The medium can then tell the sitter to seal his question."Where is the question slip! Do you have it? Please seal it asI will try reading it after you have sealed it."Notel Since the medium is blindfolded while the writing wasdone, the sitter assumes that he can not see so he does not knowjust where the question slip is!ANOTHER TEST (IMPRESSIONM~'THOD)IA trick board covered withthick paper·under which is placed a sheet of sensitive carbon pa-per and a piece of white paper is often handed to the sitter touse as a rest upon which to place their paper as they write theirquestions.A carbon copy of the sitter's message is obtainedin this way, either by the medium or his assistant. If the medium"gets" the question he at the proper moment, gives an appropriatereply or advice. If the assistant gets the board, he quicklynotes the contents and writes an appropriate answer on a pair ofslates which are handed to the medium, who, at the psychologicalmoment, exhibits the writing as a communication from the spirits!~~c#z,'c41f3,'eteC~ea,dl~f(The One-Ahead System with billets)Pass out to your circle of sitters, pieces of paper size,2!by4iinches square.

What you really do is, while under cover of themovements you are making with your hands, you are opening, read-ing and memorizing, and immediately refolding the billet in theoriginal way.Discard this billet and pick up another andrepeat the same routine until all the billets are answered.(NOTE. For the last sitter, you will have to use a dummybillet, since you already know the question but must pretendthat you do not and that you are holding the folded billet inyour hand.)4MASTERBILLh~TESTSMS. "D" THE DUNNINGER MYSTIC SERIEScont. ••PSYCHIC BILLEr READINGNarE. Those of you who own the original "Acidus" secret will seea similarity between 'Psychic Billet Reading' and 'Acidus!'In Acidus, you give an answer to a folded billet that you holdat the tips of your fingers but without the need for too muchgesticulating with the hands or glimpsing a question!Mediums performing before unsophisticated audiences, do theone-ahead as follows. After glimpsing the first question, themedium picks up another billet and gives the answer to the ques-tion he knows, while holding the new billet folded at the tips ofthe fingers. BUT the good spirit medium does a superb job of it.He first challenges anyoneinthe audience to tell him what iswritten on the folded paper."Somebody is always trying to tell me my business." accusesthe medium. "Can anybody here tell me what is written on thispiece of paper?" "NO! Of course you can't. You are not psychic!"Then the medium calls out the name on the paper, the one heglimpsed originally, and answers the question!The medium thanks the person for being honest and says, "Youare a good person. I am going to give you a lucky number accord-ing to your handwriting." So the medium opens the folded paperand studies it (?) actually memoriZing the next name and question!He then says, "Your lucky number is58)and your lucky days areWednesdays and Sundays, remember that." and tears up the paper.Medium then picks up the next folded question and repeats thesame routine, etc.For more critical audiences, the medium must resort to abillet switch. After he glimpses the first question, he refolds ,it and palms it. Then he picks up a folded paper and holds itat his fingertips, answers the question, opens the billet andlearns the next question and then switches billets and hands outthe palmed billet which contains the question just answered,etc~~.,dlfc~CJenet",,"c"Pt:Jwe't!(NOTEI In this section, Dunninger treats on the psychometricprinciple seldom usedinbillet work. The audiences that witnessthis eXhibition credit the Mentalist with claivoyant powers. Itis awesome in its aspects. The Mentalist not only divines thethought-question but also picks out, from a pile of billets thathave been tossed on the table, the correct billet that containsthe question that has just been answered! This is a carry-overfrom the Charles Foster and Bert Reese routines!)TEST AI - Questions are written on pieces of paper, folded,collected and carried to the platform or stage by some member ofthe audience who is not an assistant to the medium. The billetsare dumped out onto the table.The medium then reads the thoughts of someone, without touch-ing the billets, and gives an answer. He now asks the audience,"Who wrote that one?" No one answers. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
