A sensational and effective method of performing some of the simpler
feats is performed by some public performers, and consists in having a
piece of thick wire, about one foot in length grasped by the Receiver's
left hand, and by the Transmitter's right hand, instead of the ordinary
contact. A little practice will surprise you in the facility in which
the impressions are transferred over the wire from the Transmitter to
the Receiver. The methods of operation in this case are identical with
those employed in the ordinary methods. A wooden "ruler" may be
substituted for the wire. Some performers succeed even with a long
walking-cane.
