Freestyle Book Test

THE BLURB:
"once agin we mentalists are fortunate to benefit from
Greg's unique perspective - and his obsessive-compulsive
disorder - as he brings us what may be the most
individualized booktest yet. Read, enjoy, marvel ... you
never would have come up with this yourself!"
- John Riggs

The freestyle book test is a powerful book test that you can
make at home... with practically any book.

Imagine... you display a book that you say you've had for a
long time and have even written and doodled ininside of
it... throughout the book there aree notations of cards,
serial numbers, dates, locations, names, drawing,
highlighting...

A spectator stops at any page and holds onto the book...you
begin to call out various words from the book, numbers,
doodles, colors, names and all sorts of information.

You've also written in playing cards throughout the book.
you have the spectator call out their favorite card and then
have them find it in the book...without touching the book
you begin to call out information from the pages they are
looking at... including cards thatare inscribed next to
their card!

The freestyle Book Test uses a method that has now been
dubbed "The Interlocking Mnemonic Lists." You'll be able to
incorporate this method into any of your books plus even
incorporate the method into other effects.

Now you can take any book and use your own personal history
to make up a book test. And with a little effort, you can do
this in any language.

The Freestyle Book test gives you a book test that looks
like no other used in mentalism.

MY COMMENTS:
If someone asked me which one booktest I'd take if I could
only have one for the rest of my life, it would be this one.
Why? Simple. It uses an ordinary book and you can gaff it
up so many ways it will make your head spin. You can do an
entire act with just this one book, if you want to. And the
book is completely ordinary. You can read it like a regular
book. And it can be examined (oh, with some restrictions,
of course).

Now, the one drawback to this is that it will take you quite
some time, meaning quite a lot of work, to initially set up
your whole book. But once done, it's always ready to go.
The CD, which comes in a DVD case, contains the manuscript
in PDF format that provides the details on how to create
your unique book.

However, Federico and Greg DIDN'T stop there! They included
two of their finest original routines and they have nothing
to do with books. Federico's "Five-Star Prediction" is a
great impromptu mentalism effect inspired by Bob Cassidy and
Max Maven. And Greg's "A Key to Jennifer" is a stunning key
bending routine that I've watched him perform over and over
at the Magic Castle because it quite literally is a
reputation-maker. For those willing to put the work into
making a great utility prop, I can't recommend this highly
enough.
