[Second Sight] Silent Second Sight System manuscript.

Item Details

Description

[Second Sight] Silent Second Sight System manuscript. American, ca. 1905. 23-page holographic manuscript outlining the method behind Charles Morritt’s “silent” Second Sight routine. Included are methods for other mental magic feats, among them the Chess Knight’s Tour, Bank Note Test, Card Test and Addition Test. Loosely bound, with one extra page outlining another aspect of the code inserted. Closed tear to bottom of all pages, not affecting content, otherwise good. The hand-written title of the manuscript is “Silent Second Sight System as used by Charles Morritt in England & Harry Kellar in this country perfected & improved by Max Berol of Berol & Belmonte Second Sight artists.” Morritt was perhaps the first magician to devise a method of transmitting information to a blindfolded assistant without using a series of code words. Instead, he devised a code that was transmitted silently. This manuscript outlines one such – and perhaps the same – secret yet silent code.
