TIME MARCHES ON
"There was a time, about twenty-five years ago, when the art of crystal gazing was dominant in vaudeville. Audiences of that era sat enthralled while the 'master mind' looked into a glass ball and gave answer after answer, ad nauseum, to queries written by the customers who either were actually troubled or highly interested. Redundant as that may sound, it's true. Magic magazines of that period abounded with advertisements clamoring for $100 to $200 as a reasonable return for a trunk full of gadgets plus a twenty odd paged manuscript, the possession of which would assure the buyer's success in the theatrical field.
Time, like trouble in the hearts of men, marches on! The crystal ball, with handbox reader beneath; the nickle- plated sphere (they didn't have chromium then) with a cog wheel controlled spinning band inside; the pedestal prompter with its pulpit appearance; the Various electrical devices, either direct contact or induction, from carpet to turban; all of these means to an end have had their day. Contemporary with these were the change baskets, the mirror bowls, and the end-for-end ladles with which to secure the information and make it ready for material passage through the first mentioned devices to the omnipotent man on the stage.
As time marched on, audiences became more acute and sensible. While mediums, fortune tellers and psychics still abound in private consultation shelters, the stage seer has had to find honest work. All of which finally brings us to a point. Question answering, plus the revelation of supposedly unknown thoughts, when kept within reasonable limits of time, can be a very important part of the magician's program today! And, we mean the program of the performer who entertains platform, social and club types ofaudiences.
Audiences today 'go for' the mental type of trickery more than ever. It is more of a 'grown up' phase of magic and mystery, and there seems to be a greater element of wonder when the performer can reveal unknown knowledge or something personal about the members of his audience.
I'm not in any way slighting magic as a whole when I say this, but I've found it to be true so far as my own work is concerned."

BERT REESE SECRETS
ANNEMANN
Down through the ages have come but few noted billet readers, and invariably such men have been able to fool Kings, Premiers, Presidents, and scientists. Dr. Lynn, and Foster, the medium, were two of renown, but in the past 30 years one man stood out as a charlatan par excellence at the business of reading the folded slip. The man was Berthold Riess, born in 1841 in Posen, which was then in Prussia. Later he became known universally as Bert Reese and before his death in 1928 had crossed the ocean over 50 times to humbug such people as Charles
M. Schwab, Ignace Jan Paderewski, Premiere Mussolini, Woodrow Wilson, Warren Harding and Thomas Edison.
As I look through my file of articles, clips and stories about the doings of Bert Reese, I marvel at the constantly appearing statements that he never touched the written-on paper. This is a psychological point of importance to all performers who do anything of this nature. Only a trained observer can give an accurate account of every move, even though they may not know the method of trickery. What, to the ordinary spectator, may be the most natural of movements, can be the one detail that would solve the problem in recounting the experience.
Thus Reese's actions, being psychologically different in their entirety from the technique of magic, may seem brazen and bare-faced to a magician not acquainted with this type of deception. These very same actions, blended into a routine by Reese that lead up to a startling revelation, were looked upon by his audiences as phenomena far removed from the realm of sleight-of-hand or trickery. It is important to remember, therefore, that an audience is in a different frame of mind at the time it watches a billet reading exhibition, and that all traditional magical gestures of sleeve rolling or of showing the hands empty are ridiculous, not to mention ruinous. Also keep in mind that the really successful humbugs in this line do not demonstrate from the theatrical stage. Rather they confine their activities to the lecture platform and to the semi-privacy of the home and drawing rooms where theatrical atmosphere is not present, and their demonstrations are cloaked with a scientific or almost religious demeanor.
Reese did not care whether his subjects called it telepathy or spiritism, being content to let people credit him with whatever solution of power they deemed most fitting. Here was a good point as he did not antagonize any particular group but left it to their own individual credulity and gullibility. He ever was ready to demonstrate at any moment or place, another point which emphasized his benign sincerity of purpose in making use of his apparently strange faculty.
Routine with Three Sitters:
Illustrated is one of his routines using three sitters. Reese is sitting at the left. Borrowing a piece of writing paper, he tore it into slips about two by three inches. He would be standing at the time, and did the tearing while the others were sitting down and making ready. Five slips were put on the table, the rest of the sheet being crumpled up and tossed away. However, Reese really would make six slips and retain one, folded once in each direction, as a dummy for his own use. A detail here was that afterwards, the sitters would relate that he had used their own private tinted or watermarked paper rather than any of his own. Now he walked around the room while questions were being written to dead people on the slips and folded once each way. The folded papers were mixed together on the table and Reese would take his seat, the dummy billet being finger-palmed in the right hand.
He then said, "Give one to this lady to hold," pointing to the one farthest away, and the sitter opposite him (a man in this case) would hand her one paper. Reese had not touched it but the pointing was being done to
accustom all to the gesture. "Give one to this lady," he'd say next, pointing as before but to the lady next to him. The gesture was once more planted, and moreso when he repeated it again by having another paper given to the first lady. Now he would tell the gentleman to keep the remaining two, but as an after thought would say, "Perhaps we'd better let this lady have another." This time he would casually take the slip being passed over to the lady next to him, complete the six or eight-inch journey, but in that space make the switch for the dummy which she would get to hold. The stolen slip was dropped into his lap and opened with the left hand while, with his right, he'd make marks on a sheet of paper on the table. He apparently got his answer from these, and his scribbling served to attract the attention of the sitters while he glimpsed and then refolded the slip with his left hand under the table.
Now he would extend his left hand, with finger-palmed billet, towards the lady next to him, and say, "Give me that paper," pointing not to the dummy but the other one. Taking this it was apparently opened and spread on the table. In reality the one taken was drawn back into the finger palm by the thumb, while the paper in hand was pushed out by the fingers from where the right fingers took hold and opened it up. Thus the one opened on the table was the one just glimpsed, and the one finger palmed was a fresh one. Again the "business" would be gone through and new marks made and a new answer given. This time a slip from the second lady would be requested and apparently opened. Following this, the man's paper would be taken, then back to the second lady, and lastly the lady next to him again which would bring the dummy back to him in return for the final slip.
