Comical mind reading and answers to questions.
The Great Psycho, held over for the full week, is a mind reader who unlike the many who permit blindfolds to be tied and has an "assistant" verbally or otherwise transmitting questions in a code uses a crystal, ball-shaped, which he holds and close range and peers into from time to time as he answers the questions. Psycho, attired in Oriental attire, held strict attention and interest the moment he fired his first reply through the crystal. He worked well within the pale of the footlights and some of his answers brought instantaneous laughter and applause. Psycho gathers the question on paper, upturns the collections on a small table on the stage and then steps toward the lights and proceeds to call the names and question and making facetious replies. Psycho proved both mystifying and entertaining but it appeared that he might select a more attractive Oriental garb than the one he wore last Friday.
