THE BLURB:
The Any Word, Any Book BOOK TEST
ANY book is casually flicked through by your spectator and
ANY page is stopped at. ANY word is looked at and
remembered, the book is snapped shut. While you turn away
the thought of word is written down on any a piece of paper
or a napkin etc, the paper is rolled up into a ball. WITHOUT
ANY questions, guidance etc you name out loud the word they
are mearly thinking of. The paper is un-rolled it says the
word you NAMED.
Can be performed with a different book each and every time
if you wish and ALWAYS a different word.
Complete with gimmick that fits any hardback book and
complete handling at an unreal price! Dvd includes Mark’s
tapping move, this little piece of business is excellent.

MY COMMENTS:
This has been around for some time now, but finally it's
available for me to provide you. This is a brilliant
concept, but the ad is a bit misleading. First, you can't
use ANY book. It must be hardcover of fairly standard size
or larger and have a dustjacket. Plus, it must be prepared,
although the preparation takes less than a minute and it
must be done before the performance. The ad leads you to
believe that this can be totally impromptu with a borrowed
book and it can't.
However, ANY word can certaily be chosen and from anywhere
in the book. There are no forces at all, as the ad
proclaims. This will work with any good-sized,
dust-jacketed hardcover in any language. This is one of
those ideas that when you get it, you'll think the method
obvious and childish (pun definitely intended), but I've
seen professionals, including Mark Mason, fry audiences with
it. For the price, this is probably one of the best
"ungimmicked" book tests available.
