Tru Test - U.F. Grant's Modern Magazine Test by Nathan Kranzo (100 Refills) The most powerful book test on the planet is now also the most modern! NOW SHIPPING. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
In stock: usually ships within 24 hours!
U.F. Grant's Tru Test was released over 80 years ago and inspired many modern day Magazine and Book Tests such as FLASHBACK by Larry Beck and Lee Earl, THE MASTER KEY by Terry Rogers, and probably the most infamous of them all The Mother Of All Book Tests, by Ted Karmilovich and many more. The TRU TEST is the cleanest test ever created. Why? Because they get to look at a page FULL OF WORDS and think of ANY word. Then you tell them! Many book tests try to duplicate the original TRU TEST but fail. Here are the instructions to the original TRU Test. I have changed very little, even using the majority of the original text. The only changes I have made are the fact that it is now a TIME or NEWSWEEK magazine rather than a Reader's Digest as was used originally. I have also updated the words and tried to make them more interesting. Other than that....it's still the original brilliant idea from Johnnie Murray by U.F. Grant. - Kranzo
Several pages are torn out of a current TIME magazine. A random page is chosen and handed to a volunteer. From then on you never handle the page. You ask the volunteer to TEAR the page in half and discard a piece dropping it to the floor. They continue to tear and discard pieces of the page until only a small piece remains. They can even CHANGE THEIR MIND AND exchange their final piece for ANY piece on the ground. The volunteer can now look at either side of the piece and and just THINK of a word. You can be blindfolded or across the room and tell them the word with 100% accuracy. This is the real work on the magazine test. Period. Once again. They have a choice of pages..........Having the entire freedom to look at either side of the page and think of ANY word is amazing. You can even CALL THEM FROM ANOTHER ROOM and tell them THEIR WORD OVER THE PHONE!!! The best part is its SO EASY. You will be able to perform it INSTANTLY. When you purchase the TRU TEST Magazine Test KIT you will receive the instruction manual detailing routines, bonus ideas and all the nuances about the test. You will receive 100 gimmicks that can be used OVER and over. Unless you destroy the gimmick in performance (you can destroy the gimmick as part of the routine if you'd like but it is totally up to YOU........you don't have to........you can use it over and over if you'd like). SO this will provide you with enough for WELL over 100 performances. Customers who bought this also bought

I really like mentalism. I own quite a variety of mentalism effects including Mother of All Book
Tests. Last Saturday I used the Tru Test from the stage in front of an audience of about 200 people
aged 40-70. It was received really well. The aspects that I really like about this effect is that
I use current magazines, and I also ask the subject to tear a page out and then tear it a few more
times then select either a piece on the floor or in her hands and then either side of the paper to
pick their word. If I could give this TEN STARS I would.

I had read some disparaging reviews about this effect while waiting to receive it. After performing
it a few times I find the negative criticism to be totally unfounded. Nathan Kranzo, your revisions
to the original effect are terrific. I found memorizing helps and isn't difficult. And I don't claim
to be the brightest candle on the cake.
If you have problems selling this to your audience, I'd advise purchasing books on performance. The problem is not with the effect. Nathan, consider me one of your minions, ready to do your bidding. Did this review help you?
Great for a mentalism routine!

I've been performing this trick for the past 4 weeks in front of an audience of 50-75 people and
it's been great. If done correctly in a good routine you will get a great WOW reaction.

This could have been so much better if the text the spec read made any sense whatsoever, and if
there weren't so many typos on the page. My editor companions will just laugh at this.

What a simple and elegant IDEA! Definitely worth every dollar.
If you have ANY perfomance sense, you'll LOVE this concept. 4 stars because there is only ONE hiccup in "guessing" their word. Thanks Nathan Kranzo! Did this review help you?

This isn't as simple as the description says. It does require a small bit of fishing.
I love book tests, as long as they're examinable. I have used the Dracula book test for several years, and it's always gotten good reactions. I wouldn't say that tru test is better. As long as your presentation is good, I would say put it in your act. It will definitely go into mine. The reason for 3 stars is simply because of the deceiving description. You may be a little disappointed if you expect it to be that simple and direct. Did this review help you?
Misleading ad but good product

Ill keep this short and sweet. Dont buy this based on the ad as there are things it says it does
which it simply doesnt do, which is my ultimate pet peeve. It says that the spectator can chose
"ANY" word on the page and it can be revealed. This was the main reason I purchased the effect was
for that "ANY WORD" part. I received the effect and low and behold it was a bold faced lie. Any
word can not be chosen. I wonder sometimes how its ethical to get away with that.
Now .. having said that I do actually believe this to be a strong effect. Its hard hitting, easy and just an all around nice product and in the end I dont regret the purchase. I wouldnt recommend it so much for closeup but you still can. Not bad but please for the love of god please stop the lying in the ads. Did this review help you?
Thanks!

I had to select a trick to perform on TV to demonstrate both a fantastic memory as well as Magical
abilities. This trick fit the bill PERFECTLY!
It is a snap to learn and has a tremendous impact on the audience. Thanks for the perfect effect. Did this review help you?
