This download is low on running time (right at 22 minutes) but PACKED with some seriously clever thinking!

Gerard's "Invisible Book Test" is a nice variation on Hoy's that I'll definitely keep tucked away in my mind for the right occasion. It reminds me a little of Zandman's "IBT" in that it doesn't require you to handle the book prior to the performance and I like Gerard's framing of the moment where the mind reading is apparently taking place.

The drawing duplication is an application on Hoy's test that you've likely already thought of so this really didn't do much for me in terms of inspiring/novel content.

But the two versions of ACAAN are REALLY quite beautiful (and I typically shy away from using playing cards)! Version 1 is ABSOLUTELY something I could see myself using in an impromptu/casual performing opportunity (I'd simply use one of my preferred "thought of card" techniques) and I KNOW this would fry some minds (even though it uses the cheekiest of methods).

All in all I really enjoyed this nicely priced release.

Best,

Drew
