"Wow! You can’t get much more direct or stronger than that. The prop is ingenious and beautifully designed. This is VERY clever, totally innocent and devastatingly deceptive!" - Marc Paul

"I love this! The prop looks amazing - it looks exactly like the thing it’s supposed to be but hides some diabolical secrets. Dan has taken all the hard work out so you can just focus on performing some baffling mind reading. I’ll absolutely use this - on stage and at home for friends and guests." - Alexander Marsh

"I love the look and feel of My Word by Dan Harlan. It is perfect for casual mentalism with a very natural looking prop. It looks and feels just like something you would pick up at an airport or gas station on the way to your show." - Paul Draper

Perform incredible mind reading and memory stunts with a crossword puzzle book. Instantly know the word they have thought of, the answer to the puzzle they picked, and even do it with your back turned the entire time. Reach into someone’s mind and make them gasp when you perform My Word by Dan Harlan.

Here’s what happens:

Your audience opens up a book of crossword puzzles to any page. They merely think of the answer to any word written on the page, and you can divine the word they are thinking of. It doesn’t stop there. They can then open to a different page and look at any puzzle, and you are able to tell them the answer to the clue they are thinking of. Any clue on any page. No memory work required!

My Word comes with a very specially designed crossword puzzle book that was created by Dan Harlan. Every single page was developed to layer in secrets to allow you to perform incredible miracles. There are no electronics, stooges, peeks, or difficult memory work. The method hides in plain sight, and your audience will have no idea that they are holding the secret in their hands while you perform. My Word is easy to do and comes with detailed instructions from Nick Locapo. Read the mind of your audience as easily as reading the page of a book when you perform My Word by Dan Harlan.

Dan Harlan did a great job! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 19th, 2023
This is very well designed and shows a lot of thought went into it.

I have only performed this once on stage so far. My helper had his word written on a clip board standing about twelve feet away and we played hangman. I could hear whispers in the audience (How is he doing that?) after he acknowledged each of my correct hits. No one had a clue.

Very easy to do, plays big, packs flat. What more can you ask for?

Honestly one of the best book tests Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 9th, 2024
I think this booktest deserves to be up there among the best. The concept is original and it has a built in 2 phase routine. It's fun, interactive and so fooling!

Fools Even The Most Skeptical Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 16th, 2024
I'm an amateur magician/mentalist hobbyist who's just recently getting back into performing.

This is the first real book test that I've purchased.

There's just not enough good things to say about this.

The tutorial is great, Nick Locapo does an incredible job explaining the method and going through the routine.

The first phase of the routine is killer!
It doesn't even require memory work, but if you take the time to put in the memory work, it just pushes the effect over the top.

The second phase of the routine is almost more impressive though. I've been getting better reactions from the second phase.

I performed this on one of the most skeptical people I know and fooled them with both phases of the routine.

Also the book itself is well made, It looks like a standard crossword puzzle book and nobody seems to notice anything about it even when they're holding it.

Again, I just can't say enough good things about this product.

If you're into mentalism or any kind of magic and you enjoy being able to do a mind reading presentation, you won't regret buying this!

First class booktest Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on March 5th, 2024
My Word is a great booktest. It looks like an ordinary crossword/Word Search book that you find in grocery stones. This looks and feels like real mindreading. Not a magic trick. Doing the routine is not difficult in a manipultive sense but does require rehearsal in order to do it well. If you are willing to put the work in, I highly recommend this effect and plan to use regularly in my shows.

Very creative and well thought out routine as is usual with Dan. A book test without a book.

WOW - What a Unique Book Test! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 25th, 2023
Ok, I got it 3.5 months after purchase (I guess the situation here delayed mail...), but BOY - It was well worth the wait...

Although the principle of the secret isn't new, the way it is done and presented is BRILLIANT!

I need to modify the presentation a little bit as I'm not in an English-speaking country, and the "Hangman" game is not that popular here - But it's easily fixable, as I say I got the crossword book at a foreign airport, and mind reading in a foreign language is much harder.

The letter-by-letter reveal is like solving a crossword puzzle. It makes PERFECT SENSE to do it that way.

This is the second unique boot test I have by Dan Harlan. Thanks for another GREAT MAGIC product!

A Mental Miracle Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 17th, 2023
Hats off to Dan Harlan for bringing this fabulous mental effect to our magic fraternity. If you learn the trick just as presented you will have a mental miracle in your repertoire...However, if you want to take it one giant step further then take the time to completely memorize both phases so that while performing you don't need to be anywhere near the book. You will then have a SUPER MIRACLE. I perform this for small groups (table hopping) combined with a couple other treasured mental effects and it never fails to get a miraculous response.

A WORD ABOUT DAN Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 1st, 2023
There is creativity running around in the head of Dan Harlan. His jokes are corny and he's no MAX MAVEN, but HIS GENIUS SHOWS THROUGH ON THE WORK HE PUT IN TO MAKING MY WORD.
I for one am always impressed with Dan Harlan, I purchase lots of his stuff and am rarely disappointed. You can't always hit a homerun, but he manages most of the time. MY WORD is a homerun. Thanks for the use of your mind Dan.

I just got this trick so I haven't done it in the show yet but I love the method and I can't wait to add it in. I have some creative ideas cooking!
