    (No Reserve-Bid & the Item Will Sell)
    ITEM:  Soft cover booklet,
    Fogelsim-
    An Attitude to Life
    , written and published by Maurice Fogel.
    The famous British mentalist, Maurice Fogel, leveraged his success as performer to branch out into the self-help category, by writing this book. He writes:
    There is no strange mysticism about Fogelism; it is simply a mental attitude towards life which, I have found, achieves unsuspected results. It is the logical training of one's mind so that it sizes up the approach to a problem and tackles it rationally, instead of allowing the magnitude of that problem to overwhelm.

    From Magicpedia, courtesy of Genii Magazine:
    Maurice Fogel
    (July 7, 1911 - October 30, 1981), born in London, was a professional magician and mentalist. In his teens, he was an assistant to the illusionist
    Rameses
    (Albert Marchinsky) before starting out on his own as "The Amazing Fogel".
    He was a student of psychology, publishing a booklet called "Fogelism" dealing with relaxation and the subconscious mind. He applied many psychological principles to his work.
    Some of his famous illusions are routines were the "Vanishing Nude", "Through the Eye of a Needle", "Russian Roulette" and "Cheating the Gallows" He also performed the
    bullet catch
    with a firing squad.
    An interview with Fogel appears in
    Corinda
    's
    13 Steps to Mentalism
    along with many of his routines.
    Fogel died on the platform of Golder's Green Underground Station on his way to a show, with his little black case of props in one hand and his blackboard tucked underneath his other arm.
