I was playing with ideas for an ungimmicked book test. There are couple of methods that popped up in my head but I don't know are they original or not. So, anybody who have some knowledge about this kind of thing please help. I will send you a PM, show the method and maybe you could tell that if it is original or not.
Thanks. David. |

Been playing with some bold, ungaffed methods as well. Sometimes its just a matter of having the guts to do it.

KISS. Use the IBT and there is no need to go further.

The best ungaffed book test I know is Bob Cassidy's Monserrat/Cassidy Book Test, which can be found in his book "The Artful Mentalism of Bob Cassidy".

I have received a couple of PMs and I must say I very much appreciate your help.
Back to the book test, it seems that my version is pretty original. I'm now trying to get close to the perfection where spectator can freely choose any page, select any word they like. All the tests sound so promising to me so far but I have do some more experiments with the idea before I can announce anything. Thanks, David. |

I really like chan canasta's... it's up on youtube I think ( an old clip of him doing it on parkinson that is, not a 15 year old doing it in his bedroom)
It can be found in chan canasta - A remarkable man. Don't get much bolder than that.
The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use the words.

I have a marketed ungimmicked, any page, any word book test.
If you PM me I can let you know if there is any similarity at all. Kindest, -Paul

Here is a demo video for my take on the "Book test" issue. Yes, the spectator can open to any page herself and make absolutely free choice of the word.
Don't know if this one has anything similar to any of the book test version out there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-EdeG7v2e0 |

I second the monserrat/cassidy book test. Most excellent.
