Any reviews? The price seems high but who knows? Maybe it is as good as it sounds?

I've seen footage of Gerry McCambridge doing a similar type effect on the set of a TV show using a TV script. I'm guessing this is not the same thing?

I bought the first book by this guy from ementalism. It had three tricks that Peter Turner did in his Penguin lecture.
Very disappointed. James

I took the plunge and invested on this, I am going to be completely honest, I think this is REALLY GOOD, it is totally impromptu, I think I will use this all the time, just like HOY'S book test or Marc Paul's AAA book test once you learn this you will carry it in your mind forever.

Thinking of the McCambridge routine, the spectator was the one to do the ripping. As I read yet he description of Prius again, it' she mentalist that foes the handling. Very different.

How often in an impromptu situation you get a book that you can just tear up?
Reader discretion is advised.

Vincent, when you say 'totally impromptu' do you mean that this can be done without any prior preparation or setup whatsoever?
If you have access to a book, a magazine, or in fact any piece of paper with print on both sides you can go straight into this? Regards, Lar. |

The secret of deception is in making the truth seem ridiculous.

Do you destroy/damage just one page of the book?

I got it. It is as the ad reads. It is very clever, not new but very impromptu. I will use this and happy with the buy.

This sounds exactly like Tim Conover's trick that was leaked a few years back and circulated around the underground.
If you need good eyesight then this is very derivative. Who is this Dr. Elazar S. Poliakov? I wonder. James

Another question with this.
Could I know the word far in advance? For instance could I have a prediction on stage the whole time and then after this reveal it to be correct? Or send them the word written on paper in an envelope? The reason I ask is because I am going to be using Pablo Amira's "test conditions prediction" and was wondering if this is possible in place of that to give the audience the visual moment of it. |
