Thought Transmitter by John Cornelius
(c. 1997) (Submit Review) (Submit Update)Effect: Here, on the other hand, is a high tech wallet from the man who calls the hardware store home, John Cornelius. John provides you with a black plastic wallet which measures approximately 3 x 4.5. A spectator writes some information (a number, an ESP symbol, the name of a playing card, etc.) on one of the inner surfaces of the wallet. (I should explain that there are two pads of paper under plastic on the inner surfaces of the wallet. The spectator uses a dry erase marker and writes on the plastic surface. This allows the message to be erased and the wallet reused without using up any paper.) The wallet is closed and a rubber band is snapped around it. The magician takes back the wallet and immediately discovers what has been written. This could be repeated indefinitely. (But why would you want to?)
The method is very clever, and (in watching John demo it) has fooled everybody who saw it. John provides you with a clever routine, and the electronics of the wallet will last for many, many performances before batteries need to be replaced. It is also possible to have a spectator write something on a business card, place it in the wallet, and then discern what has been written.
This is not an inexpensive item, but I believe that what you get justifies the price. If the effect appeals to you, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. Recommended.

One of the Best
This is a great piece of equipment, and it is also very handy as a utility mind reading device. I was pleased and a little amazed to see that Jonathan Pendragon uses it to divine a thought for Charlotte to reveal! Made me feel even more proud to have Thought Transmitter.

GOOD TRICK. It is extremely good. You really do know EXACTLY what the spectator is thinking. It is that simple, relies on presentation. As the name suggests, it relies on a secret electronic device to give you the necessary info via ESP.
HOWEVER… the battery can wear out; transmitting ESP thoughts DRAINS the power. If this happens, you must pay TWENTY BUCKS for a new TTD (Thought Transmitting Device).
It is still EXTREMELY GOOD and I can reccomend it to ANY good actors.
