Patrick Schlagel - Mnemosign

Mnemosign – Patrick Schlagel (Book) 1
See them cower in fear as you rip thoughts from their minds! You will be shocked and amazed at the information provided!

Review by Craig Browning:  One of my favorite bits of business is naming the Zodiac sign of total strangers; needless to say I have a variety of ways by which to accomplish this and am always on the lookout for more. Patrick Schlagel’s composition delivering some eye-opening possibilities – some fresh thinking on how to use Branching Anagrams. In fact the thinking offered as well as the historical overview he extends, correcting the long held credits as to who actually gave us the original concept vs. those that have been given the strongest acclaim; nonetheless, these strengths are sufficient for allowing a nit-picky old fart like me to overlook the many grammatical and basic layout shortcomings the book suffers from – they are many as are the misspellings or, to be more correct, misapplied terms.

If you are not shy about using the Branching (a.k.a. “Progressive”) Anagram technique this book will give you some fantastic perspective; techniques that obfuscate the method in some very clever ways as well as scripting approaches that narrow down the process long before the first question (a.k.a. the seeming start of the challenge) is asked.

Patrick gives significant credit where it is due, pointing the reader to alternative sources and thinking that will help you go even further with your understanding and approach; materials by Alain Nu, Doug Dement, Daniel Love and more. – Craig Browning

Patrick has done a wonderful job in covering all the various aspects of telling people what their sign is in a convincing and believable manner. – Richard Webster

The way he establishes his premise is strong, his verbal control of the audience demonstrates masterful technique, and his non-verbal methods of pumping were as innovative and clean as you could wish for. Patrick has done a fantastic job here! –Atlas Brookings

There are several reasons people don’t do progressive anagrams. In Mnemosign, Patrick Schlagel addresses what he sees as the five problems and offers solutions for all of them. Seven approaches of the effect offer possibilities for everyone. Sixteen variations gives you a way to repeat the effect with different outcomes.

In one effect from the book, you seem to ask no questions and tell several spectators their sign. In reality (You remember reality don’t you?) of course some questions must be asked. In most progressive/branching anagram work, this means asking up to eight questions. The techniques in “Mnemosign” will show you how to hide the one question you ask in the presentation. In a WORST case scenario, you could get one “No” answer before revealing their sign. Nothing written down, no pre-show, no stooges, no kidding. Don’t wait until you see someone else perform it, you’ll be sorry.
