What’s on your mind

Cleveland: World Publishing Company, 1944. FIRST EDITION. Numerous text illustrations. Publisher’s red cloth, original dust jacket, other than some wearing at the corners and edges, in excellent condition. First edition of this really incredible book by Dunninger, probably the most famous mentalist of all time. Here he defines mental telepathy and challenges his readers to understand the techniques of the practice. Not only does he explain the methods of thought reading, but provides twenty-four practice tests, enabling the reader to attempt the same feats performed by Dunninger himself.

Dunninger (1892-1975) was one of the pioneer performers of magic on radio and television. A debunker of fraudulent mediums, Dunninger claimed to replicate through trickery all spiritualist phenomena. He performed for such luminaries as Thomas Edison and Theodore Roosevelt, as well as for President and Mrs. Franklin Roosevelt at the White House. He started on radio in 1943, and went on to perform on many television shows thereafter.
