Minutes for this meeting.
The May Meeting was held at the Friars' Bakehouse in Bangor, Maine. The theme of the meeting was The Mind of Anneman.
Dr. Wilson attempted "The Dream of a Hermit" by Dr. Jaks, from Anneman's Practical Mental Effects, but apparently should have spent more time in quiet contemplation. Dayton Salisbury displayed a cardboard holder with five holes to hold nickels, and an envelope to shield the arrangement from his eyes. As Dayton turned his back, Wes Booth placed four American nickels and one Canadian nickel in the holder. Dayton named the position of the odd coin by touch.
Conjuring Carroll may well be the seventh son of a seventh son! He was able to foretell which of a collection of plastic refrigerator letters Matt Bennage would select. He allowed Dr. Wilson, no stranger to locks and keys, to find which of seven similar keys would open a padlock. After Dr. Wilson sealed each of the keys in a separate envelope, Conjuring Carroll picked out the correct one by touch!
Wes Booth broke from the theme by having Dayton Salisbury pick a card. He then drew a picture of a card box on the face of a card. With a pass of his hand, the picture changed so that the card box was open. With another pass, the image of Dayton's selected card rose from the box in the drawing!
Brother Don Paul gave a teaching table on mentalism. He began with an experiment in paroptic vision. Deane Stern selected three cards and put them in his pocket. As Deane removed them one at a time, Brother Don, blindfolded, named the cards. He then had Wes Booth draw a freely selected object as he did a drawing of his own. The drawings matched! Brother Don had two pile of ten cards dealt, then had three cards viewed and memorized by different members of the audience. After the two packets of ten cards were sealed into separate envelopes, he had the audience members name their cards. As they were named, Brother Don hurled them psychokinetically from one envelope to the other. When the envelopes were unsealed, the selected cards had been hurled across!
Finally, Brother Don had Dr. Wilson show an envelope that he had received by mail earlier in the week. Inside of a set of nested envelopes was a headline prediction that was a chillingly accurate match to the headlines of the morning's newspaper!
