My variation of Emerson's "Pegasus Page" is called "Pegasus Redeemed" and appears in The Wizards' Journal #15 on my site.
My effect, as advertised, is as follows: A page is torn from a book and placed between two pieces of cardboard, taped so they hinge like a book. Two more hinged pieces of cardboard are given to a second spectator. After a few minutes of concentrating, the mentalist asks Spectator 1 to open her cardboard folder and see if the page has begun to disappear. She notes that a tiny corner of the page has vanished. The other spectator finds the tiny corner of the page within her cardboard folder. You should be able to match the torn corner from Folder 2 to the page with the missing corner in Folder 1. The test goes on with the folders closed. This time when they are opened, about half the page has dematerialized from Folder 1 and rematerialized in Folder 2. Once again, you should be able to match the half page from Folder 2 with the half page in Folder 1. The torn edges and the wording should all match. Also, it should be noted that there is a sort of mark where you stopped the process before, at the previously torn corner. Again the two folders are closed and after some time reopened. This time the page is completely gone from Folder 1 (except perhaps for some dust left behind) and is now found in Folder 2. The page should display "mend" marks where the "materialization process" was previously halted, both at the torn corner and the half-way page mark. It is taken over to the book and verified that it is the same page that was ripped from the book. Both the page and the book can be handed out as a souvenir.

I did not include it in my list of "resurrected" book tests because, although Asi's demo video uses Switcher for his version of "Zarkamorta," it is a utility book switching device and its use is not limited to "resurrected" effects. Thanks for mentioning it -- I'm sure Asi thanks you as well. For Spellbinder: Thanks for bringing you contribution to the "resurrected" list to my attention. I'll be heading to your site to get it so I can add it to my collection and cite it appropriately in the book I'm compiling.

Dear Mr. Christian,
Where can I buy your book? It would be an amazing resource. I have used variations of the Pegasus Page as well and knowing what others have done with it in detail is always invaluable. Yrs, Q |

It is NOT a "how to" book, but rather a reference work intended primarily as a resource for scholars and historians as it is devoted entirely to recording the history and evolution of forcing books and book tests. The current draft includes some 40 chapters and various appendices. When complete it is expected to run to 800-1,000 pages and will include a sortable/searchable database on CD-ROM. Since new books and tests are constantly being created and published, I plan to offer purchasers the opportunity to purchase annual updates on a subscription basis. Because of its anticipated size, complexity and the fact that it is intended only for those with particular interest in such a highly specialized subject it will be of little interest to the general magic market. While no price has been set -- or can even be anticipated at this stage of the process, I can say that it will NOT be inexpensive (I anticipate it will be at least several hundred dollars). I am keeping a list of those who have expressed possible interest and it will be appropriately announced and advertised when published.

By the way, if you want to get some great ideas for this type of effect, get Steve Valentine's Booked DVD: https://www.penguinmagic.com/p/3212
One of my favorite quotes: "A critic is a legless man who teaches running."
