.There are various versions but the one I use is that popularised byHarry Lorayne in which:t, d = 1n = 2m = 3r = 4l = 5sh, ch, j,  soft g = 6k,  hard c,  hard g = 7v, f = 8p, b = 9s, z = 10You and your assistant need, of course, to memorise the code  an easy task actually.So, let s take the method from the point where you have been given any book, opened toany page.The only constraint here is that you don t want illustrations, so, if necessary,have the spectator flick through further to a spot where there is  plenty of print.Taking the book you might see a line that reads, for example:recipe which would always manage to tickle the taste buds The first letter from the code to appear in this line is the letter  r in  recipe which signifiesthe number 4.Therefore, the fourth word in the line   always  would be circled.Another line might read:appointed with no attempt at fairness or proper understanding ofHere the  p sound signifies 9 and so the ninth word   understanding  would be the oneto pick out.And that is it.Using this system it is easy to rapidly circle half a dozen or so apparentlyrandom words, aiming as far as possible to ensure that they appear at different locationsin their respective lines.When the spectator reads the line to the assistant he willunknowingly code the position of the circled word.The assistant may well find it desirableto have the line repeated in order to check the position of the word before announcing it,but that would be perfectly acceptable, given the fact that this is an experiment intelepathy and should not appear too easy.Incidentally, suppose you see a line which doesn t have  enough words in it, but youwould still like to use the line for some reason.For example:accounting for such tastes.Here the hard  c codes 7, but there are only four words.In such a case you would simplycount to the end of the line (4) and then go back to the beginning to continue counting to7.So, a count of 7 would actually take you to  such , the third word in the line.A little experimentation will, I think, show how easy the system is to use.The digitThat, then, covers the coding of the words.The final digit of the page number, thedivination of which rounds off the effect nicely, is coded differently.First of all, when the book is presented to you, focus on the left hand page and note thefinal digit of the page number.This digit will always be even 2, 4, 6, 8 or 0.Now,although I have referred above to circling words in the book, in fact you might employ anyof five different ways of marking the words and each way will code a different digit asfollows:a large dot under a word = 0 (memory aid: a dot is almost nothing)a cross through a word = 2 (a cross is made of 2 lines)brackets round a word = 4 (originally I used a rectangle  4 sided  butsimplified it to just the two end lines which becamebrackets)a circle round a word = 6 (a circle is like lower part of a 6)a straight line under a word = 8 (straight is eight!)Again you and your assistant need to remember this additional code. So, when the open book is handed to you, you quickly note the final digit on the left handpage and immediately start marking words on that page accordingly  cross for 2, circlefor 6, etc.At this point you have a choice.You could code the digit directly by saying outloud, for example:  I m going to put brackets around a few random words &  Alternatively,you could say nothing and let your assistant discover the marking method by means ofsome innocent-seeming comments along the lines:Assistant: So, you have the book in your hands?Spectator: Yes.Assistant: And Mike has underlined a few words?Spectator: Well, he s put brackets round them.Assistant: O.K.that s fine, he s marked them out in some way.Spectator: Yes, that s right.The assistant now knows the digit in this case is 4.If you do adopt the more direct approach of commenting  I am circling/underlining etc.,make that the last thing you say until the end of the experiment.From the moment thatyou start marking the words, you should remain silent and out of your assistant s field ofvision so that it is obvious you have no opportunity to code anything (?)By the way, if for some reason the spectator obviously wants to use the right hand pagethen just go along with his wishes and code as if you were using the left-hand page.Yourassistant simply needs to be aware of the need to go forward one if necessary.Forexample:Assistant: I think the digit is 8 &Spectator: No.Assistant: & or 9 & I think 9, yes?You should, however, have no difficulty in using the left-hand page without causing anyprotest.After all, the selection of book and location within it have been totally free and thespectator has no reason to be at all suspicious.One further point, if the assistant fails toascertain from the spectator whether the words are underlined/circled or whatever, youcan always allow yourself the luxury of just a few words to clarify the situation:  Yes, I vecircled a few words. Alternatively, that part of the experiment can be dropped.No one, ofcourse, will be any the wiser.Nevertheless, divining the digit is worth doing as it providesa change of direction and an effective climax.End NotesIt is, I think, important as mentioned earlier, that you say nothing once you start markingthe words.This does mean that it is up to your assistant to make clear to the spectatorwhat the test involves by taking the initiative.For example,Assistant: The book is open in front of you? Okay.Now choose any line that has a circledword in it& Got one? Good.Now, slowly read out to me the whole line, but don t give meany clue about the identity of the circled word& Thank you.Now silently focus on thecircled word and concentrate hard &Although my description of this effect has assumed the performer and assistant are in thesame room, it could be performed over the telephone.In this case, of course, the assistant would not need to learn the codes  easy though they are  as they could be written on acard by the phone.The experiment could be presented not as telepathy but as a kind of psychological test.The spectator knows which word is underlined but is invited to try to conceal this from yourassistant by reading the relevant line in a totally deadpan manner.Nevertheless, yourassistant can detect the hesitation, change of pitch, signs of stress, etc.which disclose thetruth [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
