1,14�,1, te-,11 � , I4c2, 90 New-, .4elt .1�94, This isa memo in regard=to-expansion of th manual on trickery. The manual as it now stands consists of the following- ' five sections: 1. Underlying bases for-the successful performance of tricks and the background of the psychological principles by which they operate. - 2. Tricks with pills. 3. Tricks with loose solids. 4. Tricks with liquids, 5. Tricks by which small objects may be obtained secretly. This-section-was not considered in my original outline and was-suggested subsequently to me. I was, howeverl-abIe-to add it 'without necessi- tating extension ef the number of weeks request- ed for the writing. Another completed task not noted in the outline vfas making models of such equipment as has been described in the manual. As sections 2,3,4 and 5 were written solely for use by-men _ working alone the manual_needs two furthur_sections. One section would give modified, or-different, tricks and techniques of per- formance so that the tricks could be performed by women. The other section would describe-tricks suitable for two or more peo;le No r k- ing in collaboration. In both these proposed sections the tricks would differ con-iderably-from those which lia7e, been described. I believe that properly to devise the required techniques and devices and to describe them in wri ting would require 12 working . weeks to complete the tvc sections. However, I cannot now work on this project every week and would hesitate to promise completion prior to the first of May, 1954. I shall await your instructions in the matter.

Under a �revious Subproject (Subproject 4) a manual was - prepared by Mr. . dealing with the application of the magiciaOs art to covert activities such as the delivery of various materials to unwitting subjects. The basic assumption -- in the preparation of the manual was that the.operformer" or agent was a man working alone. - -- 2. Subproject 1? will involve the preparation of two ad- ditional sections to the manual. These are (1) Modified or dif- ferent methods and techniques-for use if the performer -is a wo- man, and (2) Methods and technicues that can be used where two or more people can work in collaboration. 3. The work will be done by Mr It is estimated the job -can be completed in twelve working weeks (not necessarily consecutive). It is estimated the job wi3l_be com- pleted by May 1954. The estimated cost is $1,800.00.
