THE SECRET DOMAIN OF DR. RAMAYNE
A Tribute to Robert A. Nelson

The Catalogs

Starting with a 7-page catalog printed on onion-skin typing paper in 1921, Nelson Enterprises published 35 years' worth of catalogs which served to inspire generations of mentalists. I can't help but wish I had been born 75 years earlier whenever I leaf through one of these catalogs.

The combination of Bob's "Ultra Modern De Luxe" ad copy and Nelson Hahne's classic illustrations evoke the feeling of the Golden Age of Mentalism.

Good times...
