For the serious magician who’s tired of the same old book tests, 'Whacked!' is a 10-minute mind-reading routine that centres around none other than Dave Gorman's hilarious book, Googlewhack Adventure.
This Second Limited Edition manuscript lays out Mark's script and psychological insights — and trust us, that’s what makes 'Whacked!' stand out in a sea of mediocre book tests. The routine has been fine-tuned through countless performances, ensuring it hits the mark whether you're in front of a gaggle of high-flying professionals at a posh luncheon or a bunch of hip college students celebrating a birthday. It’s clever, amusing, and bound to elicit gasps and giggles every single time.
The beauty of this routine? The technical demands are refreshingly low: no pre-show shenanigans, no forces, and certainly no anagrams to stress over. Plus, the book—Dave Gorman's Googlewhack Adventure—is completely ordinary and can be handed out at the end of your performance (we wholeheartedly encourage you to do so!). The 'method' is self-contained and can endure the most intense scrutiny. There’s literally nothing for the audience to catch you out on. And don’t worry about clutter—everything you need to perform 'Whacked!' fits seamlessly into the act, requiring zero awkward justifications. This means you can focus on what really matters: entertaining your audience.
Oh, and here’s a cheeky bonus: the methods behind 'Whacked!' aren’t tied to Gorman's book; you can use any book in any language! This booklet has got you covered with all the details on how to adapt the method for other titles. While it’s not exactly impromptu, the prep is minimal and doesn’t need to be redone for future shows. The method takes advantage of modern tech without any risk of things going haywire during your performance.
'Whacked!' is not just another book test to toss into your collection. It’s a fully fleshed-out, real-world performance piece crafted for pros who actually get paid to perform.
