The Sudoku Booktest looks like something that can be picked up at a local store. The reality is that this innocent looking book can be used to create a full twenty minute mentalism routine for multiple or single participants culminating in a high energy performance of the magic square.

Every test is justified with a psychological test (also featured in the book) providing you with an engaging intro to each demonstration.

All of the effects require no memory work at all meaning that you can concentrate on blowing people away.

Just some of the effects possible:
Effect 1
After successfully transmitting a number to them, your subject thinks of multiple numbers within a Sudoku puzzle from anywhere in the book. You are able to reveal the numbers and also the order in which they are thought of! They never write anything down and all of the puzzles are different.

Effect 2
Your subject chooses any word search puzzle and concentrates on one of the words. With no fishing at all you reveal the chosen word! This is incredibly direct!

Effect 3
After a psychological demonstration courtesy of Cambridge University, which is also printed in the book, another subject thinks of a different word. In a random order, the letters are transmitted to the performer before the word is revealed as a whole.

Effect 4
The subject chooses one of the words from the word search. They are then asked to draw what it represents to them. Under impossible and test conditions you can recreate the image. You can do this back to back for theatrical effect or even from in another room.

Effect 5
On a pad, the performer draws a large square which is split up into 16 smaller squares. A final volunteer opens the book to any Sudoku puzzle and chooses any square containing random digits. Two individual digits are chosen and their order is decided upon by the volunteer. Within thirty second the performer completes an amazing Sudoku puzzle that adds up to the chosen number in multiple ways leaving them in no doubt of your abilities.

Use all or just a couple of the effects above to leave your audience speechless!

You will receive an innocent looking Sudoku Word Search booklet featuring 118 pages in total. It has 112 puzzle pages (56 Sudoku Puzzles and 56 Word Search Puzzles). The back of the book also features the psychological stunt pages which allow you to intro each effect so convincingly.

With this book, a pad of paper and a pen you can perform a stand alone act suitable for adults and children in any performing conditions ranging from close up to cabaret.

Absolutely Brilliant...my favorite new book test! Report this review

Ok, so there is some memorization if you want this book test to be perfectly magical. However, I've done this book using the "cheat" and have never been caught and have still blown people's minds.

What I like about this is that everyone has seen books like this and it looks absolutely perfect. Since there are so many "generic" sudoku books out there (you can buy 10 different ones at any book stand) there is no suspicion whatsoever (unlike, say, a TIME Magazine that is either out of date or "doesn't look right").

I pretty much do the whole routine:

Mark picks a puzzle at random and you divine the first number in the word list on that page.

They then pick a word at (mostly) random and with very little (and mostly unnoticed) finagling you divine the word.

They then pick any box on any page, add the numbers together, and pick the word on the facing page that corresponds to the sum. You then draw a picture of the word they're thinking of (THIS ONE KILLS EVERY TIME).

My favorite thing in this book is that it taught me how to blow away an audience with my mathematical genius. Take 30 minutes to learn the technique without the "cheat" (it's easy!) This is what you can then do:

Mark picks a box with two numbers in it. They can say the numbers in any order (e.g., 39 or 93). You have them time you while you create a "MAGIC SQUARE" in under a minute (I'm down to 30 seconds) that adds up to that number horizontally, diagonally, vertically, and the 4 boxes in any corner AND the 4 boxes in the middle. It freaks people out! It's not a trick, but a "feat" but a great one. Have the audience get out their calculators and shout out the sums as they work them out.

This is the best book I've bought in years and I'm doing it EVERY day. I want to buy a couple more so I'll always have one.

Brilliant.
