I (Perkeo) actually wrote this book purely as satire, as entertaining, cabaret-style nonsense for Max Frisch's anniversary year—albeit based on biographical facts and the actual text of the famous play. It's worth reading alone if you have a sense of quirky humor.
But since I'm writing a book... I can't help but think of Himber's Ellery Queen Magazine... So I included something!
With this book, which can be read as easily as a normal book and hopefully provides the reader with as much enjoyment as I did writing it, without arousing even the slightest suspicion while reading it, a book review effect is also possible. And all at an unbeatable price.
However, mental purists who see a book review solely as a telepathic experiment should steer clear of this version, as it requires a production that doesn't leave the effect "pure," combining it with cards or numbers, thus bringing it somewhat closer to magic. Also, like "2012," it's certainly less suitable for the big stage. However, in an intimate setting, or during "mental table hopping," it can be a blast, as I experienced in my own performances.
There are two demonstration options:
1. A spectator shuffles a deck of cards, then reveals the top four cards, discards one at his or her own discretion, forms a two-digit and a single-digit number from the remaining three, turns the two-digit number up as a page, and counts the single-digit number as a word. This word is forced.
2. If the cards do not suit you (even if they are well-founded by the accompanying lecture and Juan's story), the (initially) four-digit number can also be calculated using Juan's "appointment calendar", from which a spectator freely chooses four dates, times or numbers of love affairs.
In both cases, eliminating another card or another number leads to another word, so that when “mentally table hopping” with apparently identical preliminaries, four different words can be reached.
You will receive the book "Don Juan's GEO'Metrie or Whom He Really Loved - The Late Cabaret-Stylish Meaning of a Play", format: 20 x 13 x 0.8 cm, cover: glossy foil laminated, volume: 122 pages as well as the instruction booklet, format A5, 12 pages, with the secret, the two forces and a detailed presentation outline.
