Magic Tricks

Most "booktests" are really word tests, and this word test dispenses with the book. People find the story line (preparing for the SAT) and the props interesting, and the two revelations are strong. "What SAT" is relatively easy to learn. Plan A is to memorize a bank of words, but Plan B--use of a crib (provided) is almost as good; better if one plans to perform it less than very frequently.

I gave it four stars instead of five, because the five star standard now requires a greater range of effects than one or two. But this may be the best of the approaches that are limited to one or two effects, it part because it is not a book!
