"Music and movies can be deeply personal as they convey a cherished and lasting impression that touches the hearts and minds of any audience and Screen Test allows you to achieve this amazingly evocative portrait in the context of a real world conversation."Gregory Wilson

"Judah Gabriel has created a perfect swindle, one that occurs on the spectator’s own phone. He’s thought through the details… which we all know is where the devil lives."David Regal

"I love that Screen Test can transcend merely asking a spectator to think of a movie, and the fact that it can be performed entirely with their phone sans pairing or apps is killer."Krystyn Lambert

"What a fun premise. There are many times I’m speaking to clients over a phone and being able to read their mind while speaking to them is worth its weight in gold. The fact it’s just as effective in person makes this even more of a no brainer. Fun, topical and easy to do. What’s not to love"Craig Petty

"OMG...No Apps...Any Phone...Any Time...I Absolutely Love This. It Is Like Walking Around With A Book Test AND Drawing Duplication In My Pocket. I Will 110% Be Using This!"Cody S. Fisher

"This trick is so good it definitely will be trick of the year this is a complete masterpiece !!!!!"Dan Hauss

Imagine being able to reveal not just a freely thought-of film but also a word and the poster of the film they are thinking of. No memorization is required, and this can work on any phone because it isn’t an app. This is a bold step forward in electronic mentalism. Your audiences are in for an Oscar-worthy performance when you perform Screen Test by Judah Gabriel.

Here’s what happens:

They think of any movie. They truly think of any movie. On their own phone they look up reviews of the movie, and focus in on one of them. They remember one of the words from the review and you are able to reveal the exact word they are only thinking of. Then your spectator is asked to look at the poster of the film, and you are able to draw the poster in a doodle app and finally reveal the movie they are thinking of.

Screen Test uses a revolutionary secret created by developers and magicians working hand in hand towards an incredible piece of mentalism that doesn’t need to be downloaded. That means it will work on the device you already carry in your pocket, and you never have to worry about application updates. In addition to the primary effect, Judah has added bonus effects that allow you to predict a film and even perform the mind-reading effect with a clever hands-off method. You don’t even need your own device because you could perform this effect with two borrowed phones. The method also takes all the guesswork out of sketching the poster, so even the artistically challenged will be able to produce gorgeous drawing duplications. You are going to get rave reviews from even the toughest critics when you perform Screen Test by Judah Gabriel.

Screen Test is brilliant Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 28th, 2024
Such a deviously clever trick. Easy to learn, bewildering for the spectator. The Facebook group is a great source as well, with Judah very active within it. I am not normally a fan of subscriptions, but this is a very worthwhile exception, as I can see the effect being modified and updated, along with users making great suggestions along the journey. I can see this being a part of my routine for a very long time. Great value!

Very Cool Report this review

"Screen Test" is a truly unique and engaging mentalism routine that leverages the spectator's own device to deliver a memorable and deeply interactive experience. Whether you're performing one-on-one or in a parlor setting, this effect consistently leaves audiences amazed.

At its core, "Screen Test" allows a performer to reveal not just a freely thought-of movie but also specific details like a word from a review and even the film's poster. The routine offers incredible flexibility and versatility. The fact that it works on any device with a web browser—without the need for apps or pairing—makes it a practical and reliable addition to any magician's repertoire.

Pros:

Creative Premise: The concept of using movies and personal devices makes the effect highly relatable and topical. It feels like real mind-reading happening in real-time.
Audience Involvement: Spectators are deeply engaged as they use their own phones, making the experience feel intimate and impossible.
Flexibility: Perfect for various settings, from close-up to parlor. The added book-test style routine gives you a variety of ways to present the effect, enhancing repeatability without tipping the method.
Constant Updates: The annual subscription ensures ongoing improvements and new features. Updates have already streamlined the routine and added new tools to elevate performances further.
Cons:

Internet Dependency: The routine requires a stable internet connection, which might occasionally be a limitation, though this is a reasonable trade-off for such a powerful effect.
Device-Specific Practice: While it works seamlessly on most devices, Android users might encounter minor usability quirks, such as accidentally exiting the drawing app. These issues, however, are easily mitigated with practice.
For only $20 per year, the subscription is a no-brainer. The continuous updates and added features ensure this effect stays fresh and functional. If you’re looking for an engaging, practical, and audience-centric mentalism routine, Screen Test delivers in spades. Use it consistently, and you’ll recoup your investment in no time.

Final Verdict: ★★★★½
A bold and innovative step forward in electronic mentalism. Screen Test is a must-have for modern magicians who love strong audience participation and high-impact reveals.

Screen Test is a “Must-Have” Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 26th, 2024
If you could really do what a book test purports to do, how would it look? Well for starters, you wouldn’t need a book. You’d ask your spectator to think of any word and you’d reveal it to him. Is “Think of any movie” that far removed from this? No. It is, however, exactly what Screen Test allows you to do; and with “props” you and your spectator already have with you.

Judah Gabriel Mantell’s foray into mentalism creation is a spectacular first effort. This effect couples Judah’s software development talents with a keen understanding of mentalism.

This is not an app. Nothing gets loaded to your spectator’s phone, there’s no need to force anything (but forcing is available), and you never touch your spectator’s phone.

Judah has provided an array of methods that will fit most performance styles. The nearly hour-long tutorial includes bonus effects, a PDF with additional information, and tells how to join the Facebook group.

This is an amazing, powerful effect from a rising star in the mentalism firmament.

Fantastic method Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 22nd, 2024
So this is the first time I'm writing a review and it's mainly due to how impressed I am with this effect. It's not your typical "Book Test" equivalent..........it's SO much more.

Positives: This will blow people away! The possibilities are endless and you can be SO creative with the basic principles and massage them to fit your routine and your style.

Negatives: It's more of a frustration than a negative. I don't like being mislead in the descriptions of effects but this unfortunately ticks that box. When they state "They remember one of the words from the review and you are able to reveal the exact word they are only thinking of". Well.........come on guys.........you're better than that. I read this as the spectator has a free choice of ANY word in the review.........however, the spectator CANNOT think of ANY word as suggested, but instead is directed towards a particular word that's in a particular location. However, the silver lining is that the method to deduce what that word is is incredible and nothing I have seen before.

Overall a brilliant effect and highly recommended.

Super easy, instant fun Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 9th, 2024
Pros: Very easy to do. A 10 year old could work this effect.
-Really fun reveals, very enjoyable process. I have a smile on my face while I perform and my spectators are all fooled thus far.
-Nicely priced. Magic by subscription feels weird but a having year to rent a great,modern trick is a lot better than paying $500 for some gaudy old stage trick you'll use once.
-Website it easy and intuitive for spectator and mentalist both.

Cons: Having your spectator enter the website in full feels clunky in 2024. If the website moves to the #1 result on Google, this will all work so much smoother.
-On android I currently cannot use voice entry. That would be another huge improvement.
-I'm no artist but it sometimes feels like my spectator is waiting around forever for me to finish drawing. I think a text box might help speed me along a bit.

Suggestion: If the "magic" used herec could also mock up a ms paint version of the movie poster for me, that'd be amazing.

Tl;DR: Try this. You can't lose at that price and it's fun even practicing with yourself.

$19, what a steal Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 30th, 2024
I have purchased and owned many mentalism effects over the last 40 years . Screen Test is one of my best purchases. All that is required is that both you and your spectator have a smart phone and or tablet that connects to the internet. After watching the tutorial I immediately could perform Screen Test. There is “No”memorization what so ever. Much much more easier than I had expected.
