Ta Dominic...

but FRK - please don't buy it if you're just going to do it for friends and family, it'll be a waste of your money...and your wife will probably shout for causing such a mess... :)

if you're going to use a force bag though, just do it with any ungimmicked book or dictionary you have...


Perhaps, being the sneaky mentalist that I am, I want someone to pick the right book out of a very big pile of books donated to the fundraiser?:twisted:

ah, as pre-show, thought you meant during the performance to get a page!

his psychic hangman book test is very good too...

alain nu's booklets are great, you can get them directly from him

Hangman? I'll have to look for that one; especially if it's based on the same INSIGHT styled operation... but then, I love it when something is simple enough for my thick head to figure out and work with. :lol:

Thanks again for all your help and advice.

I have decided as I will only be using this for family and friends and never in the wild I will try to develop my own method.

If I can get a good routine going I can then use items in current use ie: works catalogue, wife's book she is reading....

Lets get to work...

Iain suggested Hoy a couple of weeks back. Use that and save yourself the trouble :)

Hoy looks a bit 'one to one' not if there are a few people around... and I think I might come up with a few ideas and then ask you guys what you think... :)

Nah, you can do Hoy's method anywhere - seriously, it's worth looking into.

Your reality, sir, is lies and balderdash, and I'm delighted to say that I have no grasp of it whatsoever.
