Hi Nicholas,

Well...many apologies for what was a snowballing rumour and crossed wires.

As you noticed on this and other forums "A Word in a Million" has been treated with utmost respect and a big thumbs up (by myself included). No one would argue this.

I hope this misunderstanding hasnt effected you in any way and by all means anyone interested in "A Word in a Million" should go straight out and secure themselves a copy!

Rest assured that there will be no disclosing of the method as a result of the "fact-crossfire"!

I have just started doing this having sussed the method for my self.

I got three for £1.00, which means the spectator can now choose one of three books!!!!

It is overpriced, but as others say its the idea you are paying for which i would say is well worth it if you don't know how its done.

Even knowing how it is done I thought £10 was a very fair price for this item. I have included it in my show and am very pleased with the reactions that it gets. I feel I have made my money back many times over.

I find no need to give the audience a choice of books. I work this effect with the Complete Works of William Shakespeare - a very large book that most people are familiar with.

Hats off to N.E. for a fantastic effect.

I use this all the time and it always gets great reactions (as does spooked). Well worth getting.

Just a few questions before I buy this.

1. Is the book ruined after you have used it?

2. Is the gimmick easily gotten rid off?

3. Can you use any book?

IAIN · Posted: Tue May 16, 2006 12:11 pm Post subject:

1. No, especially if you are careful how you use the gimmick

2. There's no need to get rid of anything...if done right its completely undetectable...

3. Yes, within reason, any with a dust-jacket and preferably a dark hard bounding...

You know...the more I think about it, this is a fantastic book test concept.

Ok it's technically not clean but for me (an impromptu performer) this is the one book test I have used over and over with stunning results.

Don't discount this because of its simplicity...it is VERY powerful. What's more it is a extremely helpful mentalism utility (not only as a book test) to just have lying innocently around the home, office or in school.

...i love it, i took round my copy of 13 steps to a friend of mine whose just started off in magic and said to him, "ive read this book so many times i know every single word by now..."

...and lo and behold, i told him the page number and the word he picked...

its such a sneaky method...plus i use Changin' Glue to do the necessary too...more adaptable...

If you are buying this for the first time you may be interested to know that it now comes with a DVD (from JB Magic). Although i have not seen the DVD i know that Mark Mason always includes great tips with his DVDs. You can use the gimmick to get pre-show information. You will use this all the time when you buy it.

...yeah, the dvd is quite handy, good quality too...lots of nice suggestions are offered...and all for a tenner or so...genius....
