My Comments This is indeed a very impressive, elegant compilation that's a must-have for fans of Annemann, who is considered the father of modern mentalism performances. I know that most will want to know just what is different between this and the larger Abrams' book. From the blurb, you can tell that there is a lot of overlap in material. The big difference is that you get PDF scans of the original books and pamphlets, including the original covers, all fully indexed so that you can find any book or work with a simple click.
The Abrams book has an index to tricks and articles only and one can't find a specific book because all the contents have been combined and organized differently than in the original sources. There is also included a generous amount of insightful memorabilia that has not been printed in any form until now. Annemann's tragic story is also fully explored.
And there are some rare manuscripts, much of it involves mentalism with cards. New in this collection is an examination of the Jinx card, the Bullet catch, Bert Reese articles, and two unpublished Annemann effects. Dundee stress state questionnaire dssq. At the time of this writing, I've honestly not had time to peruse all of the material on these discs as it will probably take me the better part of a few months, if not more, to do so.
