Got my emailed instructions yesterday. Can't wait for the book to show up so I can try it out. I've got to say, the method looks very interesting!

I'll email you the corrected instructions.
It IS interesting. Easy too. I figure you'll invest an hour in figuring it out and getting it down pat to perform. But the results are cool.

Sorry, Doug, I meant to tell everyone that I got this last week but work is interfering with my normal life. . .
Anyway, so. . . I got Top Secret in the mail the other day. As much as I enjoyed reading the book when Doug first put it out, now I can use it for a little freakery (is that a word?). It's very easy to learn, shouldn't take more than an hour or so for you to be able to divine the information necessary to reveal the NSA secrets hidden within. I own Greg Arce Freestyle Booktest and you can see the influence here. Greg is credited as providing inspiration. Doug's method is based on Greg's but is a very clever, stripped down, easy to learn version. Using it you can learn three pieces of information hidden in plain sight on almost any page (there are exceptions, but Doug provides a way to work with these) your volunteer chooses. This is an odd book to begin with (and that is a huge compliment) but now it's a little odder. Doug provides a solid story to begin the effect. You can play it for a laugh or you could dial it up a little more seriously. That's up to you. I can see doing a mix of both for this. It's a great piece of mentalism that I'll be using. . . this weekend, actually. I'll be debuting it at my wife's birthday party on Saturday evening. If you're into book tests then I highly recommend it. I'm looking forward to Doug's further literary adventures and the book tests that result. Mark

Wait, wasn't the spaghetti supposed to come with it? Where's my spaghetti?

Oh, I should add, all the elements of the book test are built into the book. There's nothing you'll have to do to the book for it to work. Though, I guess you could, if you really wanted to. With Greg's version you had to build the elements in yourself. It made for a very personalized book test, but it took me four books to get the one I wanted. This is easier.

Thanks Mark! 1st reports have been coming in and I'm really happy that the actual performance aspect is not only doable but fun and adds a missing element to Bok Tests in general. The WHY?
Top Secret provides the WHY just like I brought the WHY to the Daring Spring Traps. It makes a difference when there's a reason to do it.
