hellstromism (s) (noun) (no pl)
A technique simulating telepathy, in which the "mind reader" (who generally holds a hand or arm) responds to slight muscle movements produced unconsciously by the person whose mind is apparently being read; "muscle reading"; "Cumberlandism": Hellstromism was coined by Robert Nelson as being the development and practice of a "sixth sense" or "perception" that enabled the operator to divine certain thoughts and commands of others.

According to the creator of the term and the practice of this system of communication, "Hellstromism is true mindreading, and in its highly developed stages is definitely divorced from any element of trickery or fraud. It is the writer's sincere conviction that the development of the faculty will lead to the revelation of mysteries and possibilities of the mind that are far beyond our present day conception."
