Re: [Cz-L] ' turn over a glass... '

Lucca, Cornel, et al:

I too attest to the efficacy of turning over a glass to find misplaced
objects. It works, and in fact, I've never had an instance where it
didn't work. My Czernowitzer father did it, his father did it, usw.

As a boy, I asked my father how the 'glass trick' worked. He said:
"...focus; the glass focuses the mind on the object and makes it so
uncomfortable that it presents itself again".

Last year I became interested in whether this process worked for only
Jews, and so I instructed several gentiles in the arcane art of
finding lost stuff by turning over a glass. It worked for them too!

Best,
jerome
