Experience the Revolution in Mind Reading with The End Book Test

Prepare to elevate your performances to new heights with The End - a remarkable book test that simplifies the art of mind reading, allowing you to effortlessly reveal your spectators' innermost thoughts. Angelo has ingenuously transformed a known principle to create the most fooling and astonishing experience.

Embrace the ease and elegance of The End as you leave behind confusing techniques and dubious moves. This book test is straightforward, direct, and pristine, giving you the power to captivate your audience without any gimmicks or complications.

Here's why The End is different from other book tests out there:

1. Failure Free Performance: Many book tests have a weak point where you guess a wrong letter, but that mistake could never be seen as a hit. The End fixes this and now if your guess is wrong, it's still seen as a hit to the spectator. This is BIG!

2. Phonetic Memory: The End employs a novel phonetic memory system to help you remember words by sound, not by letters. Not convinced? "Jack and Jill went up the ____." Even if you haven't heard that rhyme for years, you still know what that missing word is.

3. Streamlined Performance: The End is straightforward and direct. No unnecessary prompts, no warm-up rounds, no extra procedures or spectators needed to muddy up the impact of the revelation.

4. Contrasting Approach: Traditional book tests often fish for the first letter. Because people instinctively think of words from the beginning to end, this method of thinking can feel very suspect as a huge clue is given to the magician. Angelo Carbone flips the script on this completely!

Mix these ingredients together, and now you have a recipe for an ultra-clean, super direct, and easy to perform book test that is PURE POETRY!

The End presents itself as an unassuming paperback book published by Penguin Books. With 326 cream-colored pages, the 5.5" x 8.5" Digest size format is designed to appear as realistic as possible, being the most popular size for fiction titles. Angelo himself penned the intriguing and enjoyable story, ensuring the book looks and feels like an ordinary, everyday read.

  • Completely hands off
  • No peeking
  • No memorization option included
  • Looks and reads like an ordinary book
  • Large bank of easy to remember words
  • Very easy to perform
  • Spectator never feels like you miss
  • Includes written instructions for you word nerds and logophiles!
One Book. One Spectator. One Word. Unparalleled Amazement. For hard-hitting, ultra-clean mentalism - don't start at the beginning... Start at 'The End'.

'The End' has garnered glowing endorsements from renowned magicians and mentalists, all commending it as a top-tier, ultra-clean book test:

"Angelo has produced a piece of mind magic that makes me want to keep it for myself. Literally the cleanest book test I have ever seen. 100%. It's in my show."
- Wayne Fox

"For years I've used MOABT... until now. Angelo has created a book test that looks so real it's gone straight into my set... the cleanest most powerful book test I've ever seen, and I've seen them all."
- Reese Goodley

"Angelo has a way of turning an idea on its head to create truly magical effects. This is no exception. The method is clever and will leave an audience believing that mind reading is undeniably possible."
- Jonathan Levit

"The End by Angelo Carbone is typical of his creations. Streamlined and very workable! It is now a more natural way to get the thought of word. If book tests are your thing, GET THIS!"
- Anthony Miller

Excellent book test Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 8th, 2023
Great alternate approach to the book test.
it would still use MOAB as a primary, but this can be used next to it. It is GOOD!
Can you do it right after you get it? Yes using the cribs provided. They provide a new version of the old Echo Book Test which was also very good. But I would recommend using a memorization technique for cleanliness. It takes a little effort but, I believe, it is worth it.
Well worth it!

Everyone knows that a magicians family is aware of many of our techniques. The End Book Test passed the family test. This will go into the top 10 list for my go to tricks. After watching the instruction video, I performed it flawlessly.

The Perfect Book Test Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 29th, 2023
This is the perfect book test. I remembered the crib in a day and was performing it the next with amazed reactions. You can literally hand the book out with no fear they can read it look through every page with no worries. Which gives me the confidence to perform without fears of making sure they don't see anything they shouldn't. 5 out of 5 for me.

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 12th, 2023
Love this. You can perform it right out of the box. I did mine after five minutes of reading the instructions. The layman started laughing after I guessed their word and said “ are you a f$cking mind reader how did you figure it out”. All you have to do is act. I filmed mine for the reaction and it was better then what I expected.

Simply a great book test Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 10th, 2023
I agree with Angelo, that it is a weakness of the most popular book test that the first attempt to guess information will be seen as a miss. I have avoided the MOABT simply because I didn't like having to ask for information, like I didn't know what the spectator is thinking. Angelo's ingenious method makes that first interaction a hit, not a miss. Simply brilliant.

Also, Angelo wrote this book. It is readable. It is a snoozer, but if someone starts to read a page, it isn't going to be meaningless drivel, but will actually seem like it is part of a story. This is huge to me as I plan on leaving to book laying around the house and get into it organically.

Last, but not least, the words. Can't give up the method here, but the spectator has a free choice of numerous words to think of, some of them common, some not so common, which I think is a huge win. The spectator can think of a commonplace word, or a fairly unique word to the story, and you will still be able to read their mind.

If the price is keeping you from buying this, just remember that the pocket edition of the MOABT is double the price of this book.
