Trick description
ANY book is casually flicked through and ANY page is stopped at (the spectator can even hold the book and stop on any page they wish). 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 screwed up into a ball. WITHOUT ANY questions, guidance etc you name out loud the word they are mearly thinking of. The paper is un-screwed it says the word you NAMED. This is super clean you will love the method it is brilliant. NO ADDING NUMBERS TO FORCE WORDS, LINES, PAGES, NO MEMORY WORK, QUESTIONS OR FISHING. A different book each and every time if you wish and ALWAYS a different word.
Review,
A great effect. The idea of being able to stop on ANY page, with No limitations of which word to use is just amazing and im sure it will get great reactions.
I wouldnt say you could use it in different books, as the gimmick is glued into the book so just grab a really cheap book from your local charity shop.
Its a great gimmick but i wouldnt say it is worth £10, is just a big version of a cheap kids toy.
Overall,
Great effect, nice gimmick, not really worth £10 but get one anyway.
