I had the privilege of meeting Paul Carnazzo for the first time at Mindvention last year and was immediately taken and taken in, by some of his extremely clever and very "believable" effects. They were simple, direct, compact ie. wallet size, credible in appearance and for me, completely convincing.
I have followed and used his terrific wallet cards ever since e.g Test Conditions, Sybolism & Animania, with great effect. It's evident by the comments of many here that they too are becoming fans of this great young thinker. Now comes The Test Book- Book Test. Which it both is and isn't. Meaning that it is not the traditional, "look up a word, concentrate" etc, but rather again, a realistic looking prop that looks convincingly like how you would think such a book would look i.e. official, well made and the sort that you might expect a laboratory researcher to use. I was delighted to get a sneak peek at this today and whilst I am not in the habit of writing reviews, I felt that this product deserved high praise for it's brilliant construction. This official looking book is composed of several believable "tests" for demonstrating the ability of the mentalist to pick up the spectators thought of word or image. In some cases with minimal patter and or none at all. For example. In one "test" the spectator chooses from a page showing one of 4 clock faces with different times set. The mentalist writes down (in advance) what he thinks will be chosen and without a word being said is abosolutely right! In fact, cannot be wrong! Brilliant thinking and that's just one of the marvelous tests in this great little book. For those of us who prefer to bring a slightly more elevated tone to our performance this is so perfect. The "test book" comes with an additional prop which allows so many directions for performing that the experienced mentalist could not but blow away spectators with his understanding of "human psychology" as well as Parapsychology. The thinking behind this is sooooo clever and the tests so well constructed and method concealed that I daresay many of those not familiar with Paul's creative (and devious) mind will not have a clue as to how the mentalist could possibly know what the spectator was actually thinking. Oftentimes we talk about disclaimers, should we, shouldn't we? etc. With a prop like this there is nothing more to say than that you are simply a student of Parapsychology and human interaction (or whatever suits your character). At the end of performing with this and in the right environment, your audience must be convinced that they have seen a demonstration of remarkable mental skills, perception and observation. Bravo to this young man who is fact becoming a trend setter in foraging new pathways for us mentalists who always seek that, which in perfomance and to the audience, must indeed appear to be the real thing. http://www.mentalvoyage.com Gerry Hennessey

I agree,Gerry. This is a fine set of effects in the guise of a "Psi" test book. Paul is a very creative guy. It is well produced and will easily pass for what it purports to be. It even has a brief intro to parapsychology in the first few pages. It looks perfectly authentic. It comes with a 50 page, well written instruction book.

I fully expected this marvelous item to be priced much higher. Great item and fabulous value too.
