A rare book for the stage mentalist that originally sold for the equivalent of $88.00 in today's money.

When we say rare, it was no longer listed after its appearance in the Nelson Enterprises Catalog No. 6 in 1927.

Covers the best equipment for psychic entertainers to use in their act, seven psychic tests for stage performers, the namesake Perfection Crystal Gazing Act itself and how to perform it, requirements for presenting the act, a sample Q&A reading, and a good amount of professional advice.

Also includes the all-important introductory lecture that sets up the act and gets the audience in a receptive mood for the miracles that follow.

A variety of stock questions and their answers will be a huge help to the entertainer who wants to add a Q&A (question-and-answer) act to their program.

The overall principles and script are still sound today, although the modern mentalist will wish to substitute current prompting methods for that aspect of the performance.
