Book Test

From MagicPedia

A Book Test is a Mentalism routine in which words or pages in a book selected by a spectator is able to be divined by the performer.

Some examples are described in step seven of Tony Corinda's book Thirteen Steps To Mentalism.

Book Tests generally fall into three categories: those that can be done with any book, those that rely on a special Forcing Book and "hybrid"/"natural" forcing books which are done with a particular regular book.

Dick Christian is writing the "Encyclopedia of Forcing Books and Book Tests" which he has been compiling for years and hopes to have ready for publication by the end of 2011.
