Harry Lorayne is the author of How To Develop a Super Power Memory (1957) and is in the audience plying his trade as Garry answers on his
behalf. Lorayne would become a prolific
author of books on memory and magic, as well as a popular guest on talk shows
where he would demonstrate his remarkable abilities. This is his first national television
appearance. As part of his act, Garry
tests him by selecting random audience members for him to identify.
Mrs. Renzler from Yorktown Heights: “I built a 6-room house by

Special Guest Steve Lawrence
Lawrence sends
each blindfolded panelist home for the night once they are done with their
