Hi all,
Recently through the marketplace i bought a preowned trick from one of our forumite, the trick is called "The B.I.P Book"
I have already tried it out, the reaction was very good
While reading through the effect from the net, i find it very cool, so i decided to buy it.
I would say it is a very good buy, although it is slightly old, but it actually suits my patter, as in on the cover of the book, it stated the year 1968, so it makes it more realistic to be old and of course "stolen", in my patter.
It is a mental trick, that talks about Parapsychology, you can read it up online to enhance your patter. One of the aspect of Parapsychology is ESP.
Pardon me for my english, i kind of cannot explain the effect very well.
There is 4 effects you can do with it, ask them to flip to a page, by looking at the number, look at the list of countries to get one down. You can ask them to think of the capital or landmark. Flip through the pages to get a word down,(all random words), and later ask them to think of a related item writtten on the back of the book. Same thing, pick one of the ESP symbol, combination of 2 symbols per page and different colors of each, which makes it impossile to understand how the tricks works to the laymen. And lastly, just memorise a number on any page. You should be able to get all correct.
This is a very good mental effect and it is easy to perform and carry around as it is small, i would say a good trick if you want to perform something more interesting for your audience, the good thing is that you can get 4 audience to involve in the tricks makes it very interactive.
From murphy magic, i found this
