Imagine paging through the Nelson Enterprises catalog and discovering a book that offers to reveal the methods, secrets and subtlety behind dozens of outstanding mental, psychic and spirit effects.

The book was nicknamed "The Dr. X Book," by none other than the owner of the Nelson Enterprises.

And it is by this name that mentalists and psychic entertainers have come to know it.

Stage and parlor magicians, too, will find value in the scores of effects and routines explained in this encyclopedic volume.

Robert A. Nelson called it the "opportunity of a lifetime" to purchase this book from his catalog.

Mark Henry, Billboard magazine reviewer, said, "It contains an exposé of routines, apparatus and deceptions resorted to by mediums, clairvoyants, fortune tellers and crystal gazers. The explanations are very clear and easy to follow."

This latest edition has been completely reset in new type, with edits by fellow mentalist B.W. McCarron, author of Kara's Crystal Visions, Clearly Mental! and other best-selling titles.

And that's not all! This revised and enlarged edition features over 60 added illustrations that were missing from the original edition, as well as additional new material. (Originally published in 1924 as The Other Side of the Footlights.)
