Reading Temples
The group is told that thoughts can be transmitted through the temples.
The demonstrator of the game has to have an accomplice knowing the

the board, it is raised a few inches and the two individuals upon whose
shoulders rest his hands slowly and together bend their knees, so as to
lower their shoulders, giving the impression to the rider that he has
been lifted some distance from the floor.
