[BOOK TEST] BEHNKE, LEO. THE COLLECTED MENTAL SECRETS OF C.A. GEORGE NEWMANN. Pasadena: Daniel’s Den, 1991. Orange cloth stamped in red, black, and gilt with matching slipcase. Tipped-in color poster, portrait frontispiece of Newmann. 4to. Near fine condition. Gimmicked book that appears to explain Newmann’s methods, but in fact has been prepared so that the performer can tell a reader the words or page he is gazing at when the volume is opened at random. With a letter of explanation from editor Leo Behnke explaining the working of the book. The only example of this title prepared in this way.
