This is an ebook test. Yes, not a book test done with actual paper copies, but rather a book test done with ebooks, PDF ebooks that is. The advantage here is that you can perform it wherever you have your smartphone, tablet or iPad with you.

Effect: A spectator selects any one of seven ebooks, turns to the page of his/her choice as you look away. The spectator concentrates on one word and you name it, even though you don't know the page and there is no fishing.

You will get the following ebooks:

"A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens
"Around the World in Eighty Days" by Jules Verne
"Gulliver's Travels" by Jonathan Swift
"Metamorphosis" by Franz Kafka
"Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" by Robert Louis Stevenson
"The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
"The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" by L. Frank Baum

The effect works for PC, Mac, smartphone, iPad or iPhone as long as the PDF reader has a 'go to page number' option.
