So, let me introduce you to Echo, a little secret project of mine that I’ve been keeping under wraps for a few years…
When I’m after a personal touch, an effortless book test, and a bit of emotional involvement with the audience, I reach for Echo. But don’t be fooled — it’s not just your run-of-the-mill book test...
For starters, Echo is a genuine book that anyone can pick up without raising an eyebrow — you can even grab it off Amazon. Behind the scenes, it employs a classic principle from the legendary Larry Becker (thanks for letting me borrow that gem in 2012), enabling a range of jaw-dropping effects. And here’s the kicker: it’s a doddle to perform. Zero sleight of hand, no memory tricks, no stooges, and it fits nicely in your pocket!
But wait, there’s more! Echo isn’t just a single book test; it’s a whole series of them!
I’ve penned twelve different books on themes like Tarot, meditation, hypnosis, astrology, dreams, and numerology, to name a few. Each month, I’m rolling out a new title over the course of a year, so you can pick whichever theme tickles your fancy for your performance. Every book stands on its own, is unique, and reads like a regular book that introduces its subject as a self-help guide; very casual!
Each theme is an ace conversation starter with your audience. You’ll be able to read their thoughts in a way that feels impossibly intimate, as all these books tap into everyone’s favourite topic: themselves. (Trust me, some spectators have even asked if they could buy the book so they could keep reading it!)
The 80-page English instruction manual is an absolute treasure trove: three full effects, my detailed script, presentation ideas, variations, a bonus effect, illustrations, video content, and more...
The Echo series is currently graced with three titles: Rider-Waite Tarot, Tarot de Marseille, and Hypnosis.
Each Echo book totals around 200 pages, in English, and is in paperback format (5.5" x 8.5", 13cm x 21cm), soft cover, with glued binding and white paper.
