BIP 2.0 - Upgraded for use anywhere in the world and with a new killer finale.

Imagine handing out a small, official-looking book from the British Institute of Parapsychology.

You freely show each page to contain several different pieces of information: a word, a time, some different-coloured shapes and some random numbers between 10 and 999.

1. The book is handed to participant number one who opens it to any page and looks at a number. He uses that number to choose a country from a list printed at the front of the book. He is asked to think about that country, its capital and any famous landmarks.
2. Participant number two opens the book at any page and remembers the word printed there. He now turns to the back of the book and 'free associates' his word with any of the objects found there.
3. Participant three opens the book and remembers 2 shapes and their colours.
4. Participant four opens the book and remembers a 2 or 3 digit number.
5. The final participant opens the book and remembers a time.

Now, without touching or taking the book back, you can read the participant's minds and name all five items! Or you could write or draw one, two or all five of them! Or predict the final choice! The options are limitless.

This is absolutely incredible and can be performed on 1-5 participants yet is small enough to fit in your shirt pocket!

This custom-manufactured book will instantly become part of your working repertoire, ideal for walk-around, table-hopping or parlour and will even play for stage!

Easy-to-learn, in fact you will be performing this almost as soon as you open the package.

No peeks, sleights, cribs or 'memory work' is required. You can even be standing across the room when the choices are made and at no time during performance do you ever need to touch the book!

"If it was any cleaner, the pages would be blank, Brilliant Idea, Perfect."

Scott Creasey's BIP Book 2.0 is ingenious. It is a brilliant little forcing book, where you can predict a selected country, number, picture, time, and object. It uses about four different principles in synchronicity. (And pros will spot the work of Banachek and Bill Goldman in there. Hooray!) So for strong mentalism, it can't be beaten. You will confound people with even a half-decent performance. This is just about the perfect walk-around utility item.

Ah, but all is not happy here. As the other reviewers have noted, the craftsmanship of the little book isn't good. Mine came with the tape covering the staples falling off. I immediately laminated the cheap cardboard cover, but after a few performances, it's already starting to show wear. If only the cover were stronger. It would have been so easy to give it a nearly indestructible plastic cover. Oh well, I suppose that the game here is that once your BIP Book falls apart, you can easily buy a bunch of S*** P*** and make your own. So in a sense, the price is mostly for the secrets of the BIP Book. And fine ones they are!

An excellent effect but the prop might not last long.

Good idea. Bad materials Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 26th, 2012
I really liked the trick. It's easy to perform, plays big, involves several members of your audience, and can easily fit in many routines.
The reason I gave it 3 stars is that it won't last very much if you aren't extremely careful while carrying/handling it.
Anyway, it's a great effect, and any mentalist should have it.

Doesn't Get Much Better Report this review

The closest thing to a perfect piece of mentalism I have seen and it fits in your pocket. Use it any time, anywhere and in any situation.

One of the great things about this little book is it's versatility. There is no writing, or switching or any funny business, just you, your spectators and this little innocent book.

You can choose to present it in a variety of way's. It all comes down to situation and your imagination. You can perform it to one person or many people. You can choose how much to reveal.

The book as others have noted doesn't seam to be put together well but it seams pretty strong to me and feels good in the hand. Even if the binding starts coming off the staples aren't going anywhere. I believe the idea here was to make it look realistic and not like a magicians prop.
I think a little wear on it will help its authenticity.

If you perform any type of mentalism and you are reading this right now you should stop and just put it in your cart. You won't regret it. This awesome! I give it 6 Stars.

Good Stuff Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 28th, 2017
The only thing I would change would be the title. I would have preferred a more institutional look. Maybe a logo, or laboratory designation rather than BIP on the cover would make it look more official to me.
It is a great collection of effects using a number of different principles. This is a very good piece to carry around as it fits the pocket well and offers good variety. It can be performed for one or many, and definitely fills the packs small and plays big goal. Ready at a moment's notice.

BIP Book 2.0 Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 24th, 2020
great concept with 5 routines and many great suggestions for other uses as well. Easy to learn, high impact and can be done for groups or solo.
I've had great results using it. It's small and very portable.
Only negative is the front cover binding which is a bit 'wonky'. Scoth tape helps

I love this little book and its many effects Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 14th, 2023
The take-anywhere format of this book is so practical. Small format but big effect! I particularly like the shapes and numbers. Playing for French-speaking audiences, the words are less useful to me because they're sometimes misunderstood. Thank you for this creation.
