by Olivier Longhi
This is not just another book test. Lots of effects can be performed with just this book alone.
Each book is hand made with over two hours of labor carefully put into each and every one of them. Made of high quality material, this book is designed to last.
Four effects are fully described, but the instructions explain another 15 more effects or ideas that can be added. If you are familiar with book tests, you'll understand how powerful this one is, and the potential the principle hides. Here are some of those effects :

The paragraph is about a woman that fit the description of the spectator. As he keeps reading, there's a description of the character of the persons that also match the spectator on stage. How coincidental ?
4th Effect :
The magician explains that this book is extremely valuable to him, as it was offered by his mentor that passed away a few years ago. He realizes that the book itself has some kind of powers. That book can have some visions. He asks a spectator to pick a card, and keep it safe somewhere without looking at it. Now, the spectator opens the book anywhere, and read the last sentence of the page. As the spectator reads the book, the name of a playing card is revealed.
