Condition: Near Fine. Black cloth with gilt stamping on front cover and spine, pictorial dust jacket. Illustrated, 111 pages. Near fine condition. For most of the 20th century, the Amazing Dunninger defined the term mentalism for the American public. Much of the success of his pioneering radio and television performances wa…s based on his use of original routines he called “Brain Busters.” Each week audiences eagerly tuned in to see whether Dunninger would be stumped by one of these impossible challenges. Joseph Atmore has spent years collecting these Brain Busters and, with the help of some of modern mentalism’s brightest minds, has analyzed them to understand the often bold and sometimes deceptively simple methods underlying these miracles. This collection wil be invaluable to all students of showmanship and mentalism.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Brain Busters is fine in fine dustjacket; Dunninger Knows (privately printed, 2012) is fine in pictorial boards. Joseph Dunninger (1892-1975) was one of the greatest 20th century mentalist performers. He performed live and on radio and television. If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then… his widespread fame was evidenced by being the basis of Johnny Carson?s magician character, ?The Amazing Dillinger.? Both books describe Dunninger?s effects and programs, now given explanations by the best mentalists and performers of today. An interesting examination of Dunninger?s most mystifying mental feats. Extra postage required for international or expedited shipping.
