The first printing (and first edition) of this book sold out completely. I’ve revised this
edition a little. I’ve added some information, as well as editing and rewriting the text here
and there.
This is a very simple type of party to set up and perform, and you should have absolutely no
trouble with it.
Indeed, I’ve received very good reports from those that are using it in various parts of the
planet, so go for it!
1. Some 8-1/2” x 11” or 17” x 22” flashcards that present various ways to write the letter
“T”. These are easily made, even if you have no artistic ability (see Appendix A for
examples).
2. A tabletop easel to display the flashcards. This is optional, and you could just hold the
cards in your hands during the presentation, especially if you’re using 8-1/2” x 11” cards.
You are, however, going to be holding a thick bundle of over 30 cards and you could
appear very clumsy doing this. It’s better to get an easel, as you want to look as neat,
professional and organized as possible.
3. Handwriting sample cards. These are simply while 5” x 8” file cards with a space for
the guests to write their sample sentence, printed with your name, address, phone
number, title, email address and the sentence:
4. A quantity of small, short pencils of the type known as “Bridge” or “golf” pencils
(depending on the company you keep.) It’s a good idea to have these imprinted with
your name, phone number, etc, as they are often kept by your guests.
5. A guest book for your guests to sign. It’s worthwhile to get a nice one at a good
stationery shop. Your guests will be much more likely to sign it, thus giving you a
painless way of getting their names and addresses for your T Party Plan mailing list.
7. Two folding tray-type tables, the so-called TV dinner type. Your easel goes on one
table, and the guest book on the other. Get nice tables, good wooden ones, with a
fairly sturdy top and legs, not the cheap, flimsy metal ones. You can get these at patio
furniture stores, discount stores, or department stores.
1. Arrive at the party scene before anyone else gets there so you can set up. Greet your hostess
and explain that your requirements are few: a spot near the door for your guest book, and a
place to lecture.
2. If you haven’t done so before leaving home, arrange your flashcards in numerical order and
put them on your easel.
3. By this time the guests should be arriving. Make sure the hostess understands that she is to
collect the fee from each of her guests and have it ready for you before you leave.
4. Mix with the guests a bit before the lecture. Make sure they all sign the guest book and answer
their questions about handwriting, etc. If you really don’t know anything about handwriting
analysis other than the information in this book, see Appendix C for answers to common
questions about graphology.
You can, if you wish, say you’re only going to be talking about the letter “T” today, and the
best way to get more information is to get one of your full-length analyses from you.
You don’t want to give them too much information, even if you have it, because each guest is a
candidate for either her own personal full-length professional analysis, or being the hostess of
her own T-Party, or both.
1. Begin by thanking your hostess for her hospitality and the refreshments everyone will share
after the lecture.
2. Pass out your “MY LETTER T TRIES TO TELL TREMENDOUS TERRIFIC TALL
TALES” cards and pencils if you haven’t done so already.
3. Talk a little about the theory and validity of handwriting analysis, using the material in
Appendix C.
4. At this point you can do a mental effect involving handwriting if you wish, but it’s really not
necessary. I never do. The reason is, they’re not nearly as interested in your alleged abilities as
they are in what they’re going to hear about themselves.
5. Now you are ready for the T-Party itself. Make sure everyone has a “MY LETTER T TRIES
TO TELL TREMENDOUS TERRIFIC TALL TALES” card and a pencil, and point out
that what follows will be done in complete privacy, as you are not going to collect these cards.
Each guest is to write the sample sentence “MY LETTER T TRIES TO TELL
TREMENDOUS TERRIFIC TALL TALES” on her card in her normal handwriting in the
space provided and, as the lecture proceeds, each guest will compare their own written
sentences with the various examples that you will show on your flashcards. This way none of
the guests will have their writing publicly held up before the groups and dissected, as it were,
and each guest reaches her own conclusions about her own handwriting in complete privacy.
6. The lecture itself it very simple. Just pick up each flashcard in order, describe the type of “T”
and/or T bar shown on the card, and describe its meaning.
By the way, you’ll find that, despite the privacy angle stressed in your opening remarks, each
lady will probably want to compare their handwriting with that of her companions nearby, so
don’t be surprised if, after you describe each meaning of each type of letter “T”, the ladies
immediately start murmuring among themselves.
Don’t worry, you haven’t lost them. Just let them talk among themselves for a moment or
two. Their attention will come right back to you shortly after they’re through comparing
handwriting samples, and you can go on with the lecture.
There’s another factor to consider here. You will find, upon inspection, that some of the
meanings of the various types of T’s are somewhat negative. It’s probably a good idea not to
stress these negative traits in your descriptions. I tend to describe them as tendencies rather than
full-fledged traits.
One more thing: make sure they understand that a person may have more than one type of T
in their handwriting, even in such a small sample as you’re using in this presentation. This is
quite normal, and your guests should weigh and balance any apparently contradictory traits
against each other. Obviously, the more a certain feature occurs in a person’s handwriting, the
stronger its indicated trait is in the writer’s life.
7. Just before you finish, tell them that you hoped they enjoyed exploring the fascinating world
of graphology and that you’ve shared with them only a small portion of the many facets of
this fascinating study. Of course, you also mention that if they want, they can get a full length
professional analysis from you (and quote your rate), OR they can get a free analysis simply by
hosting their own T-Party in their own home.
8. It only remains to pack up, collect your fee from the hostess, and (if time permits), circulate a
bit more with the ladies before leaving for your next T-Party!
9. A day or two after the T-Party, write your hostess a short note thanking her for her gracious
hospitality. Be sure and mention how nice her home is, how much you enjoyed being there,
how much you enjoyed presenting your T-Party program there, and mentioning once again
that you are available for other types of parties (as mentioned above) and entertainments for
such discriminating hostesses as herself. Be sure and send her the full-length analysis or other
premium as soon as possible, if you haven’t given it to her personally at her T-Party.
Remember, you don’t have to know anything about graphology to present these T-Parties.
You do, however, have to have some knowledge of graphology to do the full-length analyses you
give to your hostesses and sell to the ladies.
There are a number of good books on graphology on the general market (even more now
than when the first edition of this book was written), but there is only one that I know of what
was written specifically for the mentalist community. That’s my own INSTANT
GRAPHOLOGY, which gives you an easy and simple way to do legitimate, professional
graphological analyses with absolutely no study or practice, simply by following the book’s
1 Unfortunately, INSTANT GRAPHOLOGY is no longer available. In its original form, Gene's book was self-
published, over a hundred pages long, and included many transparent sheets that he bound into the book to
facilitate the comparison of handwriting samples supplied by the reader with examples provided by Gene. Due to
the labor- and materials-intensive nature of the book, it just isn't feasible to publish as Gene envisioned it.
As Gene states above, there are many books (and websites, now) that contain enough information for the
diligent reader to learn enough about graphology to present readings after the T Party. For a book that is
specifically designed for the mentalist, please consider Cicardi's Insight (available from www.mevproshop.com)
which covers how to present graphology in close-up, walkaround, and stage settings.
Make these on either 8-1/2” x 11”, or 17” x 22” cards. The reason I recommend particular
sizes is that they’re both standard sizes and you can probably get show cardboard already cut to
either of these sizes at your local art supply or craft supply store.
At any rate, go to your local supplier and get enough white show cardboard to make about 40
cards. Do not get “Crescent” board or any kind of board that’s white on one side only. You want
both sides to be white because you’re going to be using the backs as cue cards for yourself during
the lecture portion of the T-Party.
While you’re there, get a fairly thick, pointed black ink marking pen and a hard lead
draftsman’s pencil, grade 6H to 9H. When you get home, lightly number the cards in their upper
left corners with the hard pencil. Then lightly copy the “T” examples that follow on the same side
of the cards, one per card, using the same hard pencil. This makes it easy to put the cards in their
proper order if they happen to get mixed up during transport.
Make each “T” example big enough to fill the card, but leave some space on all sides. When
they look pretty close to the examples in this book, go over them with the thick black marker
pen.
Don’t worry; you don’t have to be an artist to do this. They don’t have to be really well
done, just recognizable. Besides, each guest will be looking at the examples only in comparison
with their own writing sample on their card, and no one will be worrying about your artistic
ability or lack thereof.
Now stack the cards in order, face up, the first card on the face of the stack, images all
upright. Turn the top card over (keeping the image still upright) and lightly pencil its name and
meaning on its back, in the upper left corner.

You can do this in press-down lettering (yes, there’s still some available in art supply and
craft stores) and get your local quick print shop to crank out as many as needed.
Let’s deal with some of the most common questions people ask about graphology, as well as
some of the objections often raise as to its validity and accuracy.
Q: “How can you tell me what my character is when I don’t write the same way twice? One day I write one way,
and the next day a different way. Does that mean my character changes from day to day?”
A: No, your basic character hasn’t changed, and neither has your writing. The most common
graphic indicator that changes from day to day is the slope of the writing, but this is just an
indicator of your mood. If you’re grumpy and depressed on Monday, your writing probably
slopes differently than on Tuesday, when you feel yourself again.
There are many hard and fast graphic indicators, such as i-dots, t-bars, a’s and o’s, letter
shapes, and so on, that stay the same from day to day, no matter what. And, actually, if you
stop and think about it, you’d realize that the very fact that your handwriting does change
with mood changes is proof of graphology’s validity.
Q: “How can handwriting indicate character when we all learned to write the same way?”
A: It’s true that we all start with a common style. Graphologists call it “School Copy” or
“Copybook Hand”. But how many of us stick with that style? Do you write that way now?
Almost nobody writes the way we learned in school. Despite the fact that we all learned
from the same source, no two handwriting are alike, which is further proof that our individual
personalities and characters express themselves in the ways we write.
Q: “You say line thickness means something in graphology, but doesn’t that depend on what kind of pen or
pencil you use?”
A: Yes it does, but that’s not the real question you should be asking. The real question is why do
you use the style of pen or pencil you use? If you always choose a thick point, you obviously
prefer thick writing. If you write with a fine-pointed pen, you obviously prefer to write
“thin”.
Q: “But writing is controlled by the fingers and arm. It’s purely a muscular activity and therefore cannot possibly
have any connection with my character or personality.”
A: Do you really believe this? If you do, try writing a sentence or two while you’re reading a
book and see how far you get!
You can walk while you’re reading, you can eat while you’re reading, but you can’t write while
you’re reading. Writing requires so much of your conscious attention that it’s really not
possible to concentrate on much of anything else while you’re doing it.
Not only that, it has been firmly established that your handwriting changes with your moods
and state of mind. This is absolutely conclusive evidence that mental and emotional states have a
very close connection with the way a person writes, just as they do with many other
muscular operations.
Q: “If handwriting shows character, why can’t you tell if someone is a doctor or not? For that matter, why don’t
all doctors write the same way – or all artists or all musicians?”
A: Well, first of all, show me two doctors with identical bodies, identical personalities, and
identical characters. If you can, then I can show you two identical handwritings!
Musicians and doctors (and everybody else for that matter), aren’t so many automatons.
They’re not turned out by the thousands from a single mold! They are human beings with
characteristics which differ as much as yours or mine, and consequently their writing differ.
It is, however, true that people in the same profession show some common traits between
them. Many of these traits, however, are common to other professions as well.
Take, for instance, surgeons and instrumental musicians. Both have good motor and hand
skills, good hand/eye coordination, and so on, but these similarities are dominated by a
multiplicity of individual characteristics that necessarily differ widely from person to person.
Well, there it is. I hope you enjoy it and get as much use and income out of it as I have.
I’ve had good reports on this particular plan from any number of other mentalists and
readers all over the world. I’ve revised it and extended it a bit since the first printing sold
out.
