ACKNOWLEDGMENT
This Multiple Mentalism course is a revised version of the course
originated by Harry Kahne in the early 1920s. At that time he was billed
as The Incomparable Mentalist and The Man with the Multiple Mind.
He often demonstrated his ability on stage by doing six different mental
operations simultaneously. His platform performance entailed standing
in front of a large blackboard with a piece of chalk in each hand while
conversing with the audience. There was a newspaper on a music rack in
front of him. He began reading the headlines while writing upside down
and backwards with one hand and mirror language with the other hand.
At his left was another small blackboard on which appeared the number
28,642,981,673 — which was being divided into five unequal parts —
these figures he began computing at the bottom of the large blackboard.
To his right was another small blackboard on which appeared seven
columns of figures which ran into the millions. These were being added
and notated as well at the bottom of the larger blackboard in front of
him.
This was Harry Kahne’s demonstration of doing six things at one time,
i.e., reading, transposing, writing backwards and upside down, holding a
conversation, adding and dividing. These six separate processes
actually involve fourteen distinct operations, i.e., hearing questions,
answering questions, reading a newspaper, transposing what is read,
transposing spelling, writing with right hand, writing with left hand,
writing upside down, carrying six different thoughts in mind, retaining
questions, retaining figures for addition, retaining figures for
division, proving previous work and controlling all other physical
actions of the body — such as walking, bowing, etc..
At the end of Harry Kahne’s demonstrations, people often asked him, ‘Do
you really believe that nearly everyone can learn to perform the
amazing mental feats you demonstrate? Is my brain capable of carrying on
four to six independent functions at one and the same time, as yours
is? Isn’t the ability to master your training confined to well educated
people?’ When answering, Harry Kahne admitted he had only an
average brain to do things no other man in history had done. Education
had no bearing on it…
