After the roaring success of my Progressive Book Test, I thought, "How can I make this even better?" You spoke, and I took notes (not that I’m a teacher’s pet or anything). The consensus? The closeup title was just a smidge too big for your pocket. Well, I've got a clever solution for you. Say hello to The Strolling Book Test!
This nifty set of 3 books operates just like the Progressive Book Test series. Same methods, same set of long words, and no pesky memorisation required. The routine unfolds just as smoothly as before.
The Strolling Book Test titles measure in at a tidy 4.25" x 6.87", making them the most pocket-friendly of the lot. Perfect for those casual strolls while doing magic and mentalism. The titles included are:
- A Clockwork Orange
- Crime and Punishment
- The Scarlet Pimpernel
Another popular request was for more laid-back methods, like the ones showcased in the "Moby Dick Bonus Title." So, I’ve streamlined that into The Strolling Book Test, allowing you to perform the progressive routine with a quick peek at just one book! Easy peasy.
The best part? This little gem pairs beautifully with the Closeup and Standup variations of The Progressive Book Test, rounding out your collection and giving you a delightful assortment of books in various sizes and finishes. Because who doesn’t love a good selection?
The following methods are included in the "Strolling Book Test" set:
- Flashback - Know the first word of any page without needing to force the page or even know the page number. (Magic, not mind-reading!)
- Flashforward - Know a word on the first line of the next page. Again, without needing to force the page or even know the page number. (No pressure, really!)
- Inception - Instead of fishing for a word, you can plant the one you want right in the spectator's mind! So simple, it’s practically a walk in the park!
- Any Word on Any Page - Let the spectator choose a word from anywhere in the book. You don’t even need to hold it! Totally hands-off! You can be in the other room when they choose! It’s that clean!
- The Progressive Book Test - Use a single book to divine 3 thought-of words from three different parts of the book all at once! No fishing, no forcing, and no guessing! You instantly know all three words as soon as the spectator picks a page. Each word gets progressively bigger and more mind-boggling!
- Tossed Out Book - Toss out one or multiple books and read 6 spectators' minds at once! Again, nothing to memorise and the words can be picked from anywhere on the page, making this one of the cleanest Tossed Out Book routines out there!
- Bonus Scarlet Method - Reveal two extra words alongside the standard six for the "Any Word on Any Page" and "Tossed Out Book" methods. (Because why not?)
- Bonus Clockwork Punishment Method - Use the Flashback method to peek at a word on the first line in the "Crime and Punishment" Book. (A little cheeky, but effective!)
BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE!
These three book titles have also been added to the "KDP Digital Book Test," so you can perform with these books using just your phone! Carry them wherever you fancy! Buy any Progressive Book Test book and get access to these digital copies FREE!
