:lol: If I don't plug it, no one else will... But essentially, yes, you can go up to anyone reading anything, get them to choose a word and stand a damned good chance of telling them what it is or at least the underlying concept if you're unsure. You use their book, you never see it, you never touch it. You can even do it over the phone (oo-er, missus!)

Tee hee...

Yes, the idea behind Naked Mentalism is that you could do any of it naked if needs be to absolutely prove there's no subterfuge at all.

The Naked Book Test is section two. It's a real book test but it has absolutely nothing to unfold, peek, burn or handle in any way. No TWs, no stooges, no gaffs, no nothing. Basically, just find a stranger reading something, do it if they're interested, and you'll stand the very best chance of looking like the "real thing".

When it's finished, Naked Mentalism is yer actual book printed on demand in a lovely, deeply glossy, perfect bound paperback format by the inestimable Lulu.com, but not a download - ever.

This is a book that will require real study, so it's not meant for everyone, but the benefits are at least those of being able to blow any self-professed natural-born corn-fed "psychic" out of the water in a straight like-for-like test on demand. That's the point of it, really :) I f**king hate "psychics"
