Magic Tricks

This is a good book test in the Flashback tradition, with an improved method for knowing the word the spectator chose. It is only that however, a one trick pony; and there are occasional formatting errors that a discerning volunteer might wonder about if the effect stops on one of those several pages.

I gave this four stars instead of three, however, because it is really nice to perform this in the Christmas season. In performance, I tell the well-known story of Scrooge, and the reveal purportedly illustrates the shared bond that people in our culture have with the book and the story.
