I really like this book test. Book can be examined before and after. Just take it out of case with
no preset. The method is deceptive, and will even fool magicians not familiar with the principal.
The book is a paper back. I would have preferred a hard bound copy with a nice illustration on the
cover due to the period nature of the story and would have paid more for a hard cover version of the
trick. I think it is expensive for what it is, but the audience loved it. I actually got to perform
this for a number of shows in a old museum/mansion in the drawing room with a book shelf behind me.
I inserted the book in the bookshelf and removed it when it came time to perform, discussing the
story “A Christmas Carol’” which is very topical right now with the release of the movie about
Charles Dickens “The Man Who Invented Christmas.”
