All About Hellstromism

While perhaps not an encyclopedia of the phenomenon known as Hellstromism (among other things), here is some information for those who might want it.

Axel Hellstrom - Did so well with this skill that it is now sometimes known as Hellstromism. [Wikipedia] [Answers.Com]
Robert Alan Nelson (16 Nov. 1901- 21 Feb. 1973) - Prolific mentalist, apparently learned from Axel Hellstrom. [GeniiMagazine] [Trickshop.com]

I'm currently reading a book by Erik Hanussen. This book has an introduction by Banachek, and Banacheck also has a video and book on Hellstromism. An incredible biography can be found here, though taken from a book by Paul Tabori.
