Dec 17, 1983  Practical Mental Magic download free PDF and Ebook Writer Theodore Annemann in English published by DOVER PUBLICATIONS INC. And Psychic Codes.Theodore Annemann, through his own performances and editorship of Jinx magazine, probably did more than anyone else to popularize this branch of entertainment. Now, his extensive knowledge, experience.

There has never been anything that equals the Jinx Magazine, Ted Annemann's own idea of practical and inventive publication. The Jinx demanded and received every last bit of magical knowledge and psychological research that only Ted Annemann could give.Every variety and type of magic is here. Ball Tricks, Bill Tricks, Billet Reading, Book Tests, Brain Tests, Cards and some of the most creative effects and miracles. Cigarettes, Coins, Silks, Matches, Slates, Spirit, Thimbles, Ropes and Ribbons are also Included.The Jinx was a Magic Periodical edited and published by Ted Annemann, also its major contributor, in Waverly, New York.Jinx started in October 1934 and ran for 151 issues. Its last issue was December 15, 1941, just before Ted committed suicide. Originally put out on a monthly basis, it became a weekly publication in October of 1939.According to Dai Vernon in the Genii 1971 March Vernon Touch column, Henry Christ would often help out with editing the Jinx.For a short period during the lifetime of the Jinx, Ted Annemann went through what was apparently a 'hidden message' phase.

In issues #10, 11, 13, and 14 (and probably many others) hidden messages could be found by looking at, usually in reverse order, the first letters of each paragraph, which were printed in larger, heavier type. (See Linking Ring, Vol. Sweet home 3d forum. 10, October 1980, page 70).Every Jinx file has 48 pages missing as can be seen at the end of #149 and start of #150.

They were to be filled with another 'Jinx Extra' that was never completed. Ted, before his death, told Walter B. Gibson that he wanted to reprint his 'Popular Card Tricks' (1928) as that 'Jinx Extra', but died before he could secure the copyright for it.Additional Information.

I don't know if this is common knowledge or not.maybe it's just new to me. We're all familiar with The Jinx, right? But guess what I found at Lybrary? This is a portion of the description:'Here is the most convenient form of the Jinx to date.

You will get all 151 issues including all summer and winter extras. Each issue is quickly accessible via a bookmark. You will get reproductions of all the old advertisements for the Jinx, the old three part index prepared by J. Just cause 3 free download for mac.

Thompson Jr., and a completely new 30 page index which has been alphabetized and spans all issues and extras.' FIFTEEN BUCKS! Fully searchable. In your iPad!!!Not only is this mind blowing material but it's a real dose of mentalism history.I have been re-reading this with happy curling toes for several days now.Most would agree that many of the 'newest greatest' routines can trace at least a PART of their origin back to work that was first published by 'Ted or Tony.' This is the 'Ted' part.ALL if it.for $15. Does it get better?David. This has been available for a while now.

I picked up my copy in the last year or so and I'm only about a third of the way through it. I tend to read things like this a bit more slowly and really try to absorb the material.A big advantage of the iPad version is that if you are using GoodReader (and if you don't have it.GET IT!) you can easily annotate, highlight and otherwise make any kind of markings that you like. Then later you can find that material easily. I tend to highlight the title of each entry I want to come back to later so they all show up in my 'Annotations' list.Recently came across a (card) force so good that I can't believe it's been relegated to history.

I've never seen anyone use it because most likely, no one knows about it. I'm bringing it back!

But there was other stuff in the Jinx, such as the 20 card trick, that never made it to PME. Additionally, reading Ted's words is both informative and charming. There is a lot of insight there.GCanuzziNew userItaly51 Posts.

I also use Goodreader on iPad and iPhone and the annotation function is beautifull (you can also draw!) and you can select how to save it. Got all my pdf's on it (L&L, Lybrary and others) and the app allows password protection so even my girlfriend can not view the material (important for the testing )Jinx and Goodreader both a big 10+I also noticed the blank/unreadable pages on my copy.

Seems fine on my computer with the newest Adobe Reader and on my iPad in the Adobe Reader app, but it comes up with the missing pages in iBooks. If you usually read it in iBooks or an app having issues, try a the Reader app or your computer.JonMike InceInner circle2014 Posts.

I'm not sure how satisfied I'd be with softbound books but the originals weren't even bound and at least softbound manuscripts have that new book smell.A critical question in my mind is how well and how securely these reference books are bound.

If Houdini Magic uses the very cheap method of just slapping some glue on the left side of the pages, adding in a thin cardboard 'cover'.and calling it good (like some of the POP (point of purchase) do), the books will not last very long or be able to be reasonably used.before the pages start 'coming apart. On the other hand, a softcover book that is bound like school text books (with sewn packets of the pages joined together and then sewn, well then, in such cases the $49.95 would be a reasonable price for the set.Does anyone know about the exact binding method being used by Houdini Magic on the three softcover volumes of 'The Jinx'?

Having always wanted a physical copy of the Jinx and being in a city where spending large sums of money is an everyday occurrence, I decided to take the plunge. I'm happy I made the (minor) investment as I have spent much, much more for material of far less quality.As far as the binding is concerned, while I am not a binding expert, I do know a bit. The books are perfect bound, so no sewn pages or anything of that sort, but I was impressed with the quality nonetheless. I've had the set for some time and haven't had pages fall out, etc.

Then again, your mileage may vary. Let me know if you have any other questions.Best,TonyrobinrLoyal userGreater Los Angeles area225 Posts.
