An incredibly simple and powerful book test for the professional or casual performer.

Here's exactly what happens:
Performer riffles through the pages of the book.
Participant at any time, says stop and looks at the first word on the page.
You know the word without asking a single question or having anything written down.

Highlights:
Nothing to memorize
No questions asked
Nothing is written down
Completely examinable

The Great Gatsby Book Test gives you the freedom to perform a powerful mind reading miracle, anywhere at any time, without the need to memorize a single thing. You can also hand out the book before, after, or during the performance without worries of revealing the secret. The method is so cleverly disguised and practically undetectable, even under close examination.

NOTE: The method for this effect is the same as Christmas Carol Book Test, but with the entire novel of The Great Gatsby.

BONUS: The Great Gatsby works with the Christmas Carol book test! As you riffle through The Great Gatsby, your participant stops you at any page, notes the page number and opens to that page in the Christmas Carol book. Using the same method, you know the first word on the page!

For over 10 years, many of the world's most talented magicians and mentalists have included Josh's book tests in their paying shows and performances.

Josh's method is also featured in Ted Karmilovich's, Mother of All Book Tests Pocket Edition

4.25" x 7" paperback with 274 pages

I also bought mine from another dealer (Penguin was out of stock at the time), and it came with a link to a video that explained everything.

You can use multiple spectators and get different results each time. I love the principles behind this and will definitely be using it.

The book is examinable and you can also combine this with other book tests. Love it!!

I got the book and at first I did not got the instruction so I emailed Penguin for it. Till they answered me I looked for a hint how does it work because I did have an some thought about what it is.
I mange to get the answer for it after a few minutes and then got the instruction from penguin :)
It is a great book that look real and even that I live in Israel and an English book is not something that is regular here I can still make the magic with it and people love it.
I think it is one of the fastest and easiest book and great book test out there.
I still have to memorize some words since English is not me main and some have several options, but it is easy words and the most are known and simple.
Love it!

This replaces a double book test I made for myself about 20 years ago and have been using for that many years. But this is far better because it can be examined, handled freely etc., uses a single book and is super easy to do.

The bonus effect is incredible and the video tutorials are very well-produced.

Really glad I got it.

Great book test! Report this review

Very deceptive. You can examine the book all you want, nothing suspect about it. No long/short pages, nothing to memorize. 2 great phases. I did this in front of a friend, who is difficult to trick, and he was stumped. Great mentalism

This is the second book I have from the series. It’s one of the best methods I’ve ever seen and will make the first day mentalist seem like a pro.

Ultra deceiving Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 14th, 2020
The book is fully examinable before and after the effect, misdirection couldn’t be more effective -you are looking away- it takes a fraction of a second to know the selected word. I repeat the effect five times using different scripts and each Divination is as baffling or more than the previous one.
