The Echo book test has been my little secret for a while now (and no, I’m not telling you how long!).
When I’m after that personal touch, an effortlessly reliable book test, and a way to tug at the heartstrings of my audience, I reach for Echo. But let’s be clear: Echo is far from just your run-of-the-mill book test...
First off, Echo is a completely normal book — you could grab it off Amazon and no one would bat an eyelid. Behind the scenes, it employs a classic principle by Larry Becker (cheers, Larry, for letting me borrow it back in 2012), which opens the door to a bunch of stunning effects. Plus, it’s as easy as pie: zero sleight, zero memory work, and definitely no stooges. And guess what? It fits in your pocket!
But here’s the kicker: Echo isn’t just a book test... It’s a whole collection of them!
I’ve crafted twelve different books that delve into a variety of subjects: Tarot, meditation, hypnosis, astrology, dreams, numerology, and so on. Each month, I’ll be rolling out a new title for an entire year. You get to pick the theme that tickles your fancy for your performance. All the versions allow for the same effects, but the content is tailored to each theme. Each book stands on its own, each one is a fresh experience, and they read like proper books — just a self-help guide to whatever topic you fancy.
Each theme is a great way to kick off a chat with your audience. You’ll read their minds in a way that seems utterly impossible and deeply personal — after all, these books are all about people’s favourite subject: themselves! I’ve even had spectators ask where they can buy their own copy because they wanted to keep reading!
The English instruction manual is a whopping 80 pages of pure gold: three full effects, my exact script, all my tips for presentation, variations, a bonus effect, illustrations, video content, and much more...
The Echo series currently features three books: Rider-Waite Tarot, Tarot de Marseille, and Hypnosis.
Each Echo book is around 200 pages, in English, paperback format (5.5" x 8.5", 13cm x 21cm), soft cover with glued binding, and printed on white paper.
