DEMONSTRATION XI. Have the audience select some simple geometrical
figure, such as a square, triangle, circle, right angle, etc., and
proceed to draw it in the same way as the figures in the demonstrations
just described. Have the Transmitter hold the figure in his mind and
_mentally draw it_ as you proceed. A little private practice will enable
you to draw these figures easily, and in fact, they are really simpler
than numbers, although more startlingly effective at times.
DRAWING PICTURES.
DEMONSTRATION XII. The same principle described in the above mentioned
test may be extended to apply to the drawing of simple pictures, such as
the outline figure of a pig, etc. The copy is placed on the table or
blackboard, so that the Transmitter may easily refer to it, and then you
proceed as in the feats above mentioned. Practice this until you "get it
down fine."
THE HIDDEN NAME.
DEMONSTRATION XIII. The same principle may be extended to the writing
down of the name of a person, town, etc., previously chosen by the
audience. Draw in large letters, so that the eye of the Transmitter may
easily follow you at each step.
THE UNDERLYING RULE.
In all of the "Drawing Demonstrations," you should remember the primary
principle, i.e. Follow the line of the least Mental Resistance, and the
Will of the Transmitter will invariably lead you to the right direction.
THE "SIMPLER METHOD."
A simpler method of performing the feats and demonstrations which we
have styled "The More Difficult Feats," is that of having the
Transmitter stand by your right side, turning toward you and placing his
right hand over yours, _the tips of his fingers_ resting on your fingers
_between your large knuckles and first joints_, (instead of standing on
your left side with his fingers grasped in your left hand, as heretofore
mentioned). This method is not nearly so good so far as appearances go,
for some critical members of the audience might object that he was in
confederacy with you and really helping you to draw--but it is highly
effective so far as simplifying the feat is concerned. His finger-tips
with their nervous matter aroused into activity seem to fairly charge
your fingers with "nervous energy," or "magnetism," and your hand acts
almost automatically. The motion of the Receiver's hand and fingers,
under this method becomes almost like the motion of a "Planchette," and
often writes and draws the numbers, figures, letters, etc., so easily
and smoothly, that they seem to be fairly "running away" from the mind
of the performer. You should at least familiarize yourself with this
method, so as to be able to use it in emergencies, or in the case of a
poor Transmitter, or else in the case of the more delicate and complex
tests. If you neglect this method, you will have failed to acquaint
yourself with one of the most startling features of Contact Mind
Reading, which so far touches the higher phenomena that it is closely
