Previously Owned
Condition: FINE with instructions 

A Book Test that uses POPULAR AND RECOGNIZABLE TITLES!

The classic mind reading routine, but done with authentic books that audiences know, making it super simple for any performer! Audience Tested, baffling, and a reputation maker! SEE THIS COMPLETELY UNEDITED PERFORMANCE THAT SHOWS EVERYTHING:

PAUL ROMHANY, Editor of the VANISH Magazine for Magicians said this: Your book test arrived and I want to say they are bloody fantastic!!! Why hasn’t anyone done this before -it’s so damn clever. As far as book tests go, this one ticks ALL the boxes. LOVE IT!! LEE EARLE’S THOUGHTS AT THE END ARE PRICELESS.

The magician and mindreader asks the audience how many thousands of words they think there are in a book, whatever the answer, he doubles that number by bringing out two books! Letting a spectator have a perfectly free choice of either book of the two (NO FORCE!), the mentalist asks that person to check the book and make sure it is a perfectly legitimate book. The spectator can examine it all they want and they will agree it is an ordinary book!EXCELLENT FOR SCHOOL SHOWS, LIBRARY SHOWS, AND YOUNG READERS!

Going to different random volunteers, the performer asks them to examine the second book that the first person did not choose. Again, this second person can examine it all they want and will confirm it is an ordinary book. The mindreader now asks this second person to choose any page number from their book, and this person can check to make sure that every page is indeed legitimately numbered differently, NO DUPLICATE PAGE NUMBERS. Once the page number is chosen, the magician asks the first person to turn to the corresponding page from their book, the one they have been holding and safeguarding all this time; and check it to make sure that the page number chosen is not a blank page, illustration page, or chapter heading page with just a number, etc. If the page in the first book does indeed have printed words on it, the mentalist can correctly predict the first or last words on that page.

NOTE: The books are authentic copies that have been purposefully distressed to look normal but gimmicked for the presentation of this routine.
