"Wow! You can’t get much more direct or stronger than that. The prop is ingenious and beautifully designed. This is VERY clever, totally innocent and devastatingly deceptive!" - Marc Paul

"I love this! The prop looks amazing - it looks exactly like the thing it’s supposed to be but hides some diabolical secrets. Dan has taken all the hard work out so you can just focus on performing some baffling mind reading. I’ll absolutely use this - on stage and at home for friends and guests." - Alexander Marsh

"I love the look and feel of My Word by Dan Harlan. It is perfect for casual mentalism with a very natural looking prop. It looks and feels just like something you would pick up at an airport or gas station on the way to your show." - Paul Draper

Perform incredible mind reading and memory stunts with a crossword puzzle book. Instantly know the word they have thought of, the answer to the puzzle they picked, and even do it with your back turned the entire time. Reach into someone’s mind and make them gasp when you perform My Word by Dan Harlan.

Here’s what happens:

Your audience opens up a book of crossword puzzles to any page. They merely think of the answer to any word written on the page, and you can divine the word they are thinking of. It doesn’t stop there. They can then open to a different page and look at any puzzle, and you are able to tell them the answer to the clue they are thinking of. Any clue on any page. No memory work required!

My Word comes with a very specially designed crossword puzzle book that was created by Dan Harlan. Every single page was developed to layer in secrets to allow you to perform incredible miracles. There are no electronics, stooges, peeks, or difficult memory work. The method hides in plain sight, and your audience will have no idea that they are holding the secret in their hands while you perform. My Word is easy to do and comes with detailed instructions from Nick Locapo. Read the mind of your audience as easily as reading the page of a book when you perform My Word by Dan Harlan.

I was quite disappointed by this effect after I received it. The ad copy and testimonials are great, but, in practice, I found the restrictions on its use and where and how I could use it did not measure up to the hype.
If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is and it was for me here.
Save your money.

Dan Harlan did a great job! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 19th, 2023
This is very well designed and shows a lot of thought went into it.

I have only performed this once on stage so far. My helper had his word written on a clip board standing about twelve feet away and we played hangman. I could hear whispers in the audience (How is he doing that?) after he acknowledged each of my correct hits. No one had a clue.

Very easy to do, plays big, packs flat. What more can you ask for?

I loved the trick, but it would be immensely more valuable (TO ME) if a second copy with a different front cover was supplied. It would be worth it for an extra couple of bucks.

First class booktest Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on March 5th, 2024
My Word is a great booktest. It looks like an ordinary crossword/Word Search book that you find in grocery stones. This looks and feels like real mindreading. Not a magic trick. Doing the routine is not difficult in a manipultive sense but does require rehearsal in order to do it well. If you are willing to put the work in, I highly recommend this effect and plan to use regularly in my shows.

Very creative and well thought out routine as is usual with Dan. A book test without a book.

Very smart Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 31st, 2023
Well thought out and smart prop! I love all of the fun features built in to this innocent-looking book. Super thorough teaching as always. I do wish I could have written in the puzzle words myself in my own handwriting, but I also understand why it was done this way (it certainly saves time, as it comes completely ready to go). Super job, Dan, as always!

WOW - What a Unique Book Test! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 25th, 2023
Ok, I got it 3.5 months after purchase (I guess the situation here delayed mail...), but BOY - It was well worth the wait...

Although the principle of the secret isn't new, the way it is done and presented is BRILLIANT!

I need to modify the presentation a little bit as I'm not in an English-speaking country, and the "Hangman" game is not that popular here - But it's easily fixable, as I say I got the crossword book at a foreign airport, and mind reading in a foreign language is much harder.

The letter-by-letter reveal is like solving a crossword puzzle. It makes PERFECT SENSE to do it that way.

This is the second unique boot test I have by Dan Harlan. Thanks for another GREAT MAGIC product!

Easy as 1, 2, 3 Report this review

I really like the simplicity of this effect. Nick’s idea of taking the time to use a blue pen to fill in each puzzle (code for something else) is genius. it took me 45 minutes to do so, but now the book looks used rather a magic routine that I bought online.

I also like the two phases of this routine and Nick’s live performance of this on the video.

This is going into my act, alongside effects like Mental Pen and SvenPad.

A Mental Miracle Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 17th, 2023
Hats off to Dan Harlan for bringing this fabulous mental effect to our magic fraternity. If you learn the trick just as presented you will have a mental miracle in your repertoire...However, if you want to take it one giant step further then take the time to completely memorize both phases so that while performing you don't need to be anywhere near the book. You will then have a SUPER MIRACLE. I perform this for small groups (table hopping) combined with a couple other treasured mental effects and it never fails to get a miraculous response.

A WORD ABOUT DAN Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 1st, 2023
There is creativity running around in the head of Dan Harlan. His jokes are corny and he's no MAX MAVEN, but HIS GENIUS SHOWS THROUGH ON THE WORK HE PUT IN TO MAKING MY WORD.
I for one am always impressed with Dan Harlan, I purchase lots of his stuff and am rarely disappointed. You can't always hit a homerun, but he manages most of the time. MY WORD is a homerun. Thanks for the use of your mind Dan.
