After the success of my Progressive Book Test, I thought, “How can I make this even better?” (Yes, I do have those moments of brilliance now and then.) You lot gave me your thoughts, and one thing was crystal clear: the close-up title is a smidge too bulky for your pockets. Well, fret not! Introducing The Strolling Book Test!


This set of three books operates like a charm, just like the Progressive Book Test series. We’ve kept the same methods and those long words you love. And guess what? No memorisation required! The routine flows seamlessly, just as before.


The Strolling Book Test titles measure a neat 4.25" x 6.87", making them the smallest of the twelve books. They slip into your pocket with ease, perfect for those casual strolls where you want to impress without the bulk. The strolling titles are:

  • A Clockwork Orange
  • Crime and Punishment
  • The Scarlet Pimpernel

Another popular request was for more hands-off methods (because who doesn’t love a bit of wizardry without the hassle?). So, I’ve streamlined a version into The Strolling Book Test that lets you perform the routine with all three books after just a quick peek! It’s like magic for the lazy—no judgement here.


The best part? These beauties pair perfectly with the Closeup and Standup variations of The Progressive Book Test. So, you can round out your collection and have an array of books that make your act feel, well, a bit more “off the shelf” (because who doesn’t love a good bookshelf?).


Here’s what you get with 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. (Yes, really!)
  • Flashforward - Know a word on the first line of the next page, again without forcing or knowing the page number. Simple, right?
  • Inception - Instead of fishing for a thought, you can plant the word you want in their mind. It’s a sure thing! Clean and clever!
  • Any Word on Any Page - Let the spectator choose a word from anywhere in the book. You won’t even need to hold the book! It’s so clean you could do it from across the room. (No peeking, forcing, or guessing!)
  • The Progressive Book Test - Use a single book to divine three thought-of words from different parts at once! Instant knowledge of all three words as soon as the page is chosen. Each word gets progressively bigger and more impossible to guess!
  • Tossed Out Book - Toss out one or several books and read six spectators’ minds simultaneously! Nothing to memorise, and the words can be chosen from anywhere on the page. Cleanest Tossed Out routine you’ll find!
  • Bonus Scarlet Method - Reveal two extra words alongside the standard six for the "Any Word on Any Page" and "Tossed Out Book" methods. (Because who doesn’t love a cheeky bonus?)
  • Bonus Clockwork Punishment Method - Use the Flashback method to peek at a word on the first line in the "Crime and Punishment" Book. (You’re welcome.)

BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE!
