Publisher's note
When Patdck came to see me and proposed
project,
this
my initial reaction was one of great
excitement. I immediately wanted to try Reol
TelepathA o1Jt on a lew nearby guinea pigs and I
was honestly blown away by the result.
While it's not the best approach, the temptation really was too much for me - the burning
desire to know whether or not it actually worked.
The effect is so strong on paper that you can't
help but hope that it's not merely the sort of
misleading advertising material that you get in
any magic shop catalogue.
Take the time to study the tdck and, more

Introduction to
the 2011 edition
Allow me, if you will, to start with a description ofa day in January 1997 - 18th January,
to be exact - when one ofthelegendary meetings
of the late lamented Mindon Mania group was
held. At that time, the meetings took place once

France with a different approach to performing mentalism. We invited guests Iike Patdce
Serres (the creator of the foftune-telling game
Goral) and even Jean-Pierre Girard (the 'French
Uri Geller', much maligned among magicians).

In the months that followed, a photocopied version of Real Telepathv was distributed
to a select few, mainly the members of Mindon
Mania at the time and a few friends, amounting
to a handfirl of people (a few dozen).

had furtively circulated my manuscript, Mindon

And yet... And yet something indescribable had occurred. Patrick was there, perforrning his effects, but (was it an itlusion?) he felt
that something had changed, something new
had taken shape in his spectators' minds. It was
as though his effects, while good, were being
pholed in. The spectators were doubtless unable
to explain what was happening before their very
cyes, and yet Patrick felt that he was no longer
seen as a magician, but a juggler. Juggling, that
was definitely the word his tricks were now
just juggling and ultimately, the impossible had
l)ecome something ordinary. Patdck felt that
his magic had lost its sparkle, he no longer felt
the indescribable moment that Einstein called
'the experience of the mysterious' in his spectators'eyes. No longer a magician, he had become
someone who was simply highly skilled with a
rlcck of cards.

After a few seconds of renewed concentration, Patrick said that he also sensed that the

I would now like to talk about a demonstmtion that was conducted on live television by a
psychic during a discussion about the topic. As is
oftenthe case, passions had started running high
on both sides, for and against. At this point, the
psychic silenced many sceptics by per{orming
the effect that I shall now describe. It makes use
of the same ideas that have been developed in
