A code used by stage 'mentalists' and their assistants to 'psychically' read the audiences mind.
Houdini's code was supposedly:
Pray = 1 A * Answer = 2 B * Say = 3 C * Now = 4 D * Tell = 5 E
Please = 6 F * Speak = 7 G * Quickly = 8 H * Look = 9 I * Be Quick = 10 J
To secretly convey the letter F, one has only to begin a sentence with the word, such as, 'Please, concentrate a little harder.' By using combinations of the above words, any letter can be conveyed. For example, if the performer said, 'Answer now!' That represents the numbers 2 and 4, and the 24th letter in the alphabet is X. A good two-person act using a code like this will conceal the target words in longer sentences, and humorous remarks made to the audience.
