The Telephone Drama by Annemann Presented by Richard Osterlind (Instant Download)

Experience one of the most impactful mentalism performances with Richard Osterlind’s rendition of The Telephone Drama. This routine will leave your audience convinced of your mind-reading abilities.

The Telephone Drama is a comprehensive, multi-phase routine crafted by the iconic Theodore Anneman, which Richard Osterlind has meticulously refined over years of live performances. This routine not only showcases miraculous effects but also serves as an excellent introduction to the art of “billets.”

What is a billet? In the realm of mentalism, a “billet” refers to a small piece of paper, derived from the French word for “ticket.” Mentalists often ask participants to jot down thoughts on these slips, and the term has persisted through the years. “Billet work” is a specialized area within mentalism where performers execute remarkable mind-reading feats using minimal props. With just a few slips of paper and a pencil, you can have your audience write down names, dates, and thoughts, only to reveal them in increasingly dramatic fashions.

The true value of The Telephone Drama lies not only in its techniques but also in the full performance by Richard Osterlind before a live audience. This presentation, coupled with a detailed breakdown of the routine, equips you with the choreography and structure necessary to incorporate powerful billet switches into your own mentalism acts.
