Del-Ardo was the stage name of the late and legendary W. G. Magnuson, who in the roaring twenties and thirties spilled the beans on the secret lives of mediums, mentalists, and mystics with a series of manuscripts. (Spoiler: they weren't exactly typed by a professional.)
These literary gems are rarer than a unicorn sighting these days, often resembling a typewritten crossword puzzle. But fear not! Jonathan Royle has donned his detective hat, tracked down some semi-readable versions, and painstakingly decoded the fuzzy bits. He’s even chucked in some of his own cheeky insights for good measure.
What’s inside this eBook? A ridiculously simple yet utterly mind-boggling method for performing a headline prediction that’ll leave your audience slack-jawed! These are the very techniques Del-Ardo detailed ages ago, and Royle first gave them a whirl back in 1990 during his final drama exam (yes, at the tender age of 15).
With these methods, you can stroll into a reporter's office, casually scribble down a list of predictions for their upcoming newspaper headlines, and then get them to sign it before sealing it in an envelope. (Because who doesn’t love a bit of postal drama?) This envelope is then sent off to be date-stamped by the postal service, adding an extra layer of intrigue.
Come show night, that same reporter will arrive with this envelope, which he’s carefully nestled between two pieces of cardboard, stapled shut, and signed on both sides. He’ll have kept it locked away like a prized possession until the big reveal.
Against all odds, your predictions will be astoundingly spot-on. And yes, he’ll confirm on stage that the paper inside that postmarked envelope is indeed the very one he witnessed you write on weeks prior—signature and all!
These tried-and-true methods helped Jonathan Royle ace his drama exam, and now they can bag you some priceless publicity for your next show!
