Before I adopt a new effect into my repetoire, I like to get the advice of my fellow magicians. What do you all think of the Magazine Test as it appears in Mark Wilson's Course? Any tips? Psychology?
Thanks.

Nathan,
I'll scope it out when I get home but what is the basic premise of this one? Book test, memorized mag, circled word, etc? I just don't happen to remember off-hand. |

A spectator is handed a prediction in an envelope. Another is given a magazine and is told to mark a random page with a large X they draw behind their back. When the prediction is opened, it matches the word at the center of the X, where the lines intersect.

Do it if it suites you. If it works for you use it.

I adore this effect.
BUT, I would never use it. Probably a stupid reason. On an old television show (I think Columbo, but maybe Banachek) this method was revealed and demonstrated, bit by precious bit. I never know when that show will rerun. I would hate to do this right after or right before someone watched the show. Probably just paranoia, but I can't use it. I am not certain, but I think that the episode is entitled, "Columbo goes to the Guillotine." Peace, Parson John Cesta's stuff, on the other hand, is stuff that I can use.
