A Nod to Bob: The Fourth Dimension Revisited

Bob Cassidy has profoundly influenced the realm of mentalism, particularly with his reinterpretation of Annemann’s Fourth Dimensional Telepathy. This book, A Nod to Bob, The Fourth Dimension Revisited, reflects my journey through various adaptations of this routine since I first encountered Cassidy’s insights decades ago.

For years, I performed it as Bob outlined before developing my own techniques, many of which have been shared in my publications and lectures. Over a span of twenty-five years, my innovations in 4DT have matured, yet recently, I’ve returned to the simplicity of using billets and envelopes.

Utilizing just three coin envelopes, three business cards, and a pen—without any switches, steals, impression devices, or electronics—this method stands out as one of the cleanest and most versatile I’ve encountered.

Welcome to A Nod to Bob.

“Bob Cassidy’s work with Anneman’s Fourth Dimensional Telepathy is legendary. Seeing him perform 4DT live is a master’s-level lesson in how to present mentalism. As great as his performance was, there were certain aspects of his handling that I found less appealing. With A Nod to Bob, Scott has ingeniously streamlined these elements, creating perhaps the most efficient handling yet. Three envelopes, three business cards, and a couple of pens—utterly brilliant.”

“I purchased ‘A Nod to Bob’ last night, and it’s absolutely brilliant. No fuss with flapless envelopes. True to Scott’s style, it’s simple, straightforward, and allows performers to infuse their own personality. Love it x 1000%.”
– David Numen

“I’ve experimented with Bob Cassidy’s routine many times but was never completely satisfied. Having seen Bob perform it numerous times and discussing it with him in Seattle, I can confidently say Scott’s version is smoother and thoroughly explained.”
– Richard Webster

“Bought it, read it, love it! Performed it once and can confirm it’s a significant improvement on the original.”
