blindfold mindreading act that has kept him at the top of his profession for

Falkenstein & Willard’s Two-Way Mindreading Act —
Learn the act called “Fifty Years From Now” as taught by The Great
Mardoni & Louise. Frances Willard is introduced and blindfolded by Glenn.
Glenn circulates among the audience while Frances describes and names the objects
handed to Glenn by spectators. The act concludes with Frances calling out the
serial number on a dollar bill. Learn the sure-fire method of guessing articles,
names, numbers, places, and thought-of questions. This two-person thought transference
act demonstrates a psychic rapport between two bonded individuals of like mind.
The Gypsy Mystery Rope Escape — Finally!!! The answer
to a magician’s prayers. An illusion which can be performed anywhere with
little preparation. This act plays big and packs small and is loaded with surprises
and laughs using one spectator from the audience. Don’t underestimate
