This is a really great book test, and there are a number of different routines you can do with it. I
use this all the time with my phonebook prediction routine, and it looks impossible. Heres a video
of me using this on stage (skip to 5:20 in order to see the actual book test):

This is completely self-working, and requires no memorization whatsoever. I highly recommend you pick this up; I am sure you will be able to come up with a number of possible routines you could do with this. Did this review help you?

I liked it, very ingenious idea to seemingly read their minds. I recomend it for those who want to
put just a bit of mentalism in their routine.

There is some great value in this book. When I received it, I thumbed through it before reading the
instructions to see if I could spot the workings. I didn't. The "trick" is well hidden.
You are not really buying a trick here, so much as buying a tool. Hobby magicians may be disappointed with this book, but those with some grounding in mentalism and the styles of presentation that go with it will work real miracles with this. Some reviewers have said that this trick can't be done with any old book that the spectator likes. I disagree. I think that with the right handling and order of events, it is very easy to reveal a word or picture from a book that a spectator gives you. Revealing a whole paragraph might be harder. The success you get from this book will depend on the skill with which you wield it. The instructions are basic, so be prepared to embellish with some good theatrics. I think the book itself is very safely examinable before the trick, but I wouldn't give it out afterwards. Only four stars here because it is not entirely groundbreaking, and although I can see why it is expensive, some may see it and feel that it is overpriced. Did this review help you?
A little misleading

The concept is really tricky, not what I expected. The description is a little misleading, as you
really can't use any random book (I pretty much gathered this wasn't the case, at that would truly
be a miracle if you could). Any book test is a little too pricey if you ask me. For the money,
there are many other great tricks I would rather spend my money on.

The best thing about this is that you can use as many books as you can remember the page content.
Just get the Holmes book in their hands and you will amaze them. It's not just a word, it's a
paragraph or picture or anything you want if you select you books carefully.

this is an alright book test, it works in some cases... HOWEVER it lost two stars because you CANNOT
do it with any book, although it is advertised to make it seem like a spectator could just give you
a random book and you'll be able to do it... Thats the reason i bought it, if your buying it for
that reason, buy the dracula book test because once again you cannot use a random book given to you
on the spot.

I like this. It's worth the money, works with any book and is very difficult to figure out if
performed correctly. If you're into book tests (and I am) I think you'll like this one.

first of all I must say that this book test is very good. There is a very subtle and easy method to
execute this book test but you would never guess that. If you are a beginner in mentalism and are
wondering if this is worth the money and if you will be able to achieve the effect. Look no further
cause this is for you. If you are an expert mentalist and are looking for something to add to your
act. Look no further! This book test is strong enough to be a closer. I mean look at the pros, uses
audience participation, easy method, ends pretty clean (I mean they don't even think checking
Sherlock Holmes because you barely use it in the efect), killer, powerful, amazing effect. Something
your audience will never forget. The only con is you can't perform this trick more then once to the
same person. But hey! Do you ussually perform an effect more then once for the same person anyway? I
performed this effect do today at least 4 times and I left all the spectators with their jaw hanging
opening dumbfounded (even a teacher). All of the spectators also immediately considered me pro.
Definetly a reputation maker.
So if you are looking for a book test with all these features and want to become known. Get this now. I know you are thinking is it worth it though. I mean 50 dollars I can by a bunch of other effects for that much. Well let me tell you it is worth every penny. And let me also say I will have this one in my act for years to come. Buy it. You won't regret. Did this review help you?
