DEMONSTRATION VII. Have the audience select a number, and think intently
of it. Impress upon the Transmitter that is to think of the _Shape_ of
the figure instead of merely remembering its name. For instance if the
figure "8" is thought of, the Transmitter should think of the _Shape_ of
the figure, and not of the word "eight." Then begin to circle your hand
around over the blackboard just as you did when finding the place of the
"beginning of the trip" of the demonstration mentioned a few minutes
ago. Then bring your pencil or chalk to a starting point, which you will
soon perceive. Then hold your fingers pressing lightly forward, and
impart to your hand a trembling vibratory motion as if in hesitation
regarding the next movement, saying at the same time to your
Transmitter: "_Will Hard_ now--_Will_ the _Direction_ to me," and you
will soon begin to get an impression of "Right," or "Left," or "Down,"
as the case may be, which you should follow slowly. Be slow about it,
for if the impression is not right you will soon be checked up. Fence
around a little until you begin to get the impressions clearly. You will
find that the principal trouble is at the start, for once you are
started on the right track, your Transmitter's Will will be freely
employed, and he will pour the impressions into you. Let him feel that
it is _his Will_ that is really doing the work, and he will exert it
freely. Once started, these drawing feats are easily performed, the
trouble being with the start. You should practice this feat frequently
in private, before attempting it in a public demonstration. It is very
effective.
THE LADY'S AGE.
DEMONSTRATION VII. This is a variation of the above feat. A lady in the
audience is asked to whisper her age in the ear of the Transmitter, and
you are to draw it on the board or paper. The feat is performed
precisely in the manner described above, the Transmitter being cautioned
to think of but _one figure at a time during the drawing_.
THE BANK NOTE TEST.
DEMONSTRATION IX. Akin to the last two feats, is the reading of the
number of a bank-note held in the hand of the Transmitter. It is
performed in precisely the same manner as the preceding feat. Be sure to
have the Transmitter understand that he is to think of but one figure at
a time, until it is drawn, and then the next, and so on.
THE WATCH NUMBER TEST.
DEMONSTRATION X. The feat of reading and drawing the number of a
person's watch is a variation of the last mentioned demonstration, and
is performed in precisely the same way.
THE GEOMETRICAL FIGURE TEST.
