"The Apodosis"in which,besidesa var-

iation of the basicBakertechniqueby

Mr. Mann himself,there is a different

approach to the Baker concept by

RichardOsterlind.

attentionby exposingtheir "brcthers'"

methods, so efforts have alwaysbeen

madeto try to improveandmodernize

the CenterTear's ability to deceiveall

watchingthe peformance.

Although much easierandmorereliable

thanthe BakerMethod it alsohasseveral

dmwbacks to my way of thinking.

Severalvery clevervariationsof thebasic

Center-Tearbelongedto Al Koran. To

the bestolmy knowledgehe created

the

One-HandedCenter-Teitrafter watching

womenin a factory terr typewriterrib-

bons with only one hand. But alas,the

stolencenterstill had to be read on the

sly. Or did it?

The pause that you must make as you

open the center section,after the first

tear, is what botherc me most in his

method. Add to that theunusualnature

of the first tear,andthe relatively small

center you get to view, you canseewhat

I mean.

Koran alsohad the ideaof handing the

stolen center unopened to someone,

besidesthe writer, to open and read

as his own prediotion (S€e Al Koran

LecturcNotes - Magiclnc.)

After a great deal of expeimentation

with all the above methods,I still was

just not satisfiedso I set out to develop

myownmethod.

Cleverideas,but the One-HandedTear

needsa specialtype of paper, and an

unusualwayof foldingit, andif a wise

guy wrcte somethingweirdon the paper

you could comeoff lookinglike a jerk,

insteadol a genius.

I came up with what I

considerto be the method which

perhaps may well be the best possible

and

techniqueavailable using the "Center-

Tear"concept.

purchascd) Al Bskerhad the "Stroke of

Genius"to developa methodof reading

the 'center" in the process of teadngup

the very slip itself. But againwerun up

againstafewdisadvantages.

Firstof all the "Umbrella Move"whichis

The momenlwhen you makeyour open-

ing moves is perfectly covered by

psychologically perfect Msdirection.

Two lears have just been made and

then you pause to look for sonlething

place the potentialmessyou arein the

Process

of making.

Ilt just what someonewould normally

usedto openth€ "Center" sectioncomes

after mostof the tearingwhichis a bad

time as far as misdirection goes. But

most of all the UmbrellaMove rarely

works for me, or in fact for almost

everyonethat I\e evertalked to about

it. (To thos€ not famiiiar with the

UmbrellaMove, it goes like this: By

stickingyour thumb into a smallfolded

billet and pushing, it should open up

almostlike a little umbrella.)

Noneof the lears or movesareunusual

in nature,unlike th€ Osterlindmethod.

You tearup the paper assomeone would

normallydo.

No UmbrellaMovesareused. Theprcc-

essof openingthe folded centeris easy,

reliable,and it is usable on almostany

reasonably

But evenif your misdiection is pedect,

and the UmbrellaMoveworksflawlessly,

you still must dlift about quite a larye

piece of paper comparedto all theother

ones.

If wished a largercenterthan nomal

may also be obtainedby just slightly

altering thebasictechnique.

Now that I'm done praising my inven-

tion let's get down to the important

stuff. How do wedo it?
