Do you want to be a mentalist? Mentalism or Mind Reading is the most exciting performing art. Once you dazzle your friends, family and acquaintances with a series of devastating seemingly psychic feats - they will forever hound you until you agree to give an encore.
Wherever you go you will be pursued, pested and plagued by people who yearn to see you perform. It will change your life forever. In essence - you are getting a free DVD! The term "psychological magic" has also become quite popular in recent years, perhaps reflecting a style of presentation in which results are achieved through the use of psychological techniques, rather than via a magician's trickery.
Mentalist Derren Brown has stated on his TV show that results are obtained through a combination of "magicians' techniques, showmanship, misdirection and psychology". This is undoubtedly true, but the implication that these performers actually use more psychology than trickery as opposed to say a children's magician or a comedy magician is most definitely not true. All magical performers use these elements in some combination or another. The difference is that in mentalism it is implied and presented in a way - that psychology is the main methodology.
In all the techniques and routines throughout this book you will convince people that you have an ability to read faces like a book. You will convince them that every mannerism - every twitch, blink, smile frown, every eye movement - every expression - gives you an insight into their minds. You will also ask them to repeat some "keywords" which will also give you an insight into their thoughts.
This will make your role as mentalist believable. You never claim to be "psychic" - you claim to be intuitive. Every face is like a book - and you have spent years developing this facebook technique. Prepare to learn some of the most powerful and closely guarded secrets in mentalism. You will be equipped with an arsenal of stunning and devastating mindreading effects that you can unleash on your audiences - large and small.

It has been a few years since the publication of Modern Mentalism with its 3 Volumes and little time since the publication of Mentalism from A to Z. In these volumes, techniques, psychology, tricks, ethics and much more have been explained about the world of mentalism. This world is always immense as a heritage of creativity for which I wanted to publish this new guide with a different approach: not to mention particular techniques but making available to the reader only tricks of mentalism to be carried out immediately.
The aim is to create a real practical repertoire, to be performed immediately! The proposed effects are simple, effective and easy to learn and execute.
This manual does not talk about psychological mentalism, or scientific, PNL, hypnosis, etc. The presentations are not specifically addressed, as their importance is vital for the tricks but, in my opinion, it is too personal to be "taught" so a few indications were provided only on how to present each effect, for example on the specific topic, mind-reading, reading non-verbal language, etc.

An A-to-Z resource on paranormal phenomena, with illustrations. Stranded motorists on a lonesome road are rescued by angels. The phone rings with a call from beyond the grave. A blood-sucking predator is sighted in the south of Texas. The Weiser Field Guide to the Paranormal is your gateway into the world beyond the known. Covering topics from cryptids to psychics, telekinesis to telepathy, this concise, alphabetized handbook will guide you through the eerie, the undeniable, and the strange world of the paranormal.
Once upon a time, events like ghost sightings were commonplace. Parlors were redecorated to accommodate seance rituals, and ghost stories poured from the culture. Psychic occurrences and abilities might have been feared and disliked, but they were accepted as a normal part of life. Today, we are experiencing a resurgence of all things paranormal. Join paranormal investigator and psychic Judith Joyce as she delves into this world with haunting detail and illuminating clarity.
Joyce touches on all of the major aspects of paranormal phenomena, and more. Do you have telepathic powers? Can the Ouija board really speak from the Other Side?
Use this paranormal primer to find out. How do we understand numbers? Do animals and babies have numerical abilities? Why do some people fail to grasp numbers, and how we can improve numerical understanding? Numbers are vital to so many areas of life: in science, economics, sports, education, and many aspects of everyday life from infancy onwards. Numerical cognition is a vibrant area that brings together scientists from different and diverse research areas e.
While the study of numerical cognition had been relatively neglected for a long time, during the last decade there has been an explosion of studies and new findings. This has resulted in an enormous advance in our understanding of the neural and cognitive mechanisms of numerical cognition. In addition, there has recently been increasing interest and concern about pupils' mathematical achievement in many countries, resulting in attempts to use research to guide mathematics instruction in schools, and to develop interventions for children with mathematical difficulties.
This handbook brings together the different research areas that make up the field of numerical cognition in one comprehensive and authoritative volume. Dear Editor, What happens to old thoughts and emotions on the aetheric plane? Thoughts in the aether age as they do in your mind, eventually dissipating and disappearing. Stronger thoughts last longer in the aether, though, as is evidenced by the existence of vapors a being described in this book's aetheric bestiary.
All moments in history, including the aetheric counterparts to emotions, thoughts, and objects, are cataloged in the Akashic Record, a kind of library of aetheric history.
The Record is accessible from the astral world and is a very powerful tool in mentalism, albeit one that can be used for irreparable harm. Dear Editor, What happens to an aetheric double when its material counterpart dies?
I'll make no attempt to skirt the issue of the afterlife-it's as prickly a subject among mentalists as it is among the rest of humanity. Theories of the afterlife vary from place to place and religion to religion. The soul and the aetheric body can be thought of as one and the same. The aetheric body lives on the aetheric plane during the lifetime of its material body and remains there after death.
This "aetheric survival" is the benefit of consciousness of our nature as sentient beings. The same can't be said of the chair you're sitting in or the car you drive. They're both has- beens in the aether as soon as they're destroyed in the material world. Souls in the aether wait around for a time after death, until their next material form is ready for inhabitation. At that point they join with the material world once again and resume their dual nature in the material and the aetheric.
I must rattle my chains, and groan through keyholes, and walk about at night, if that is what you mean. It is my only reason for existing. These creatures will help or hinder your cause, each according to its nature. Presented here in field guide form are listings for twentyone beings that may be encountered in the astral, elemental, and elysian worlds.
Although we have not yet devoted individual lessons to these realms, a brief note on each can be found in the essay directly following this introduction. No aetheric bestiary can ever be comprehensive, due to the infinite number of realities created by mentalists the world over. Keep in mind that the listings of aetheric beings in this lesson are merely composite accounts of the creatures and forces as they have been encountered in the past.
Your own experiences with the same beings may be markedly different. It is hoped that this guide will give you a glimpse of some of the most common intelligences you may encounter in your experiences with aether and provide you with a framework for the classification of aetheric beings no one has yet encountered. For most people on earth, reality seems to be bound by the limits of their material surroundings. This need not be the case. For with knowledge of aether, there are many worlds to discover and explore.
As we have already discussed the aetheric plane in detail, outlining its functions and qualities, you no doubt by now understand that the aetheric world is a separate place from the world we call home, and yet it is the only true world there is. When you visualized your aetheric body in the previous lesson, you went on a journey in your imagination.
Soon you will be able to take similar trips in worlds not far removed from the material world, realms linked to us by aether.
These worlds will be referred to throughout your aetheric training, so it is important that you are able to tell the difference between them. Here is a set of brief descriptions of each of the worlds we will discuss. The facts below should give you an idea of how the planes differ and of the native environments of the intelligences described in the aetheric bestiary presented later in this lesson.
The Astral World Like the aetheric plane itself, the astral world appears at times to be made of light. Other times it seems very similar to the material world. The astral world is a conduit, a four-dimensional highway that allows us free passage to other parts of the material world and also to Elysium. Vibrationally, the astral world is closest to our own world and is the most easily accessible.
Through a slight shift in consciousness, usually attained through meditation, a person can alter the vibrational frequency of his or her body and travel to the astral world.
This is called astral projection. People sometimes visit the astral world unintentionally, spontaneously projecting their astral body. This happens most often during sleep or in the hypnagogic state between wakefulness and sleep. Some theorists believe that dreams are actually astral travels.
While a trip to the astral world may seem dreamlike, your author does not endorse the idea that dreams and astral projection are one and the same. The Elemental World On earth, the substances we will call "elemental" fall under the classification of philosopher Empedocles of Agrigentum, Sicily BCE , who postulated that all material things were combinations of four basic substances-fire, air, water, and earth-which he called elements.
Perhaps the combined beliefs of these systems' practitioners created the elemental world, or perhaps it has always existed and created earthly faith to sustain itself Such is the power of belief. As you progress in your aetheric studies, you may want to travel to the elemental world. It is divided into four kingdoms of equal size, one for each of the elements. To say the kingdoms are harsh environments is the understatement of a lifetime. Major portions of each elemental kingdom are composed solely of the purest form of its element.
A trip to the earth plane, for example, could reveal nothing but solid, stonelike material extending as far as one's imagination can interpret. This singularity quickly disorients the mind and makes movement difficult.
Other areas within each kingdom are made of simple elemental combinations, resulting in realms of steam, for example, or of dust.
While advanced students of mentalism are encouraged to visit the elemental kingdoms, beginners should keep their distance. The exercise provided later in this lesson will give you a taste of the vibration of the element of earth without putting you in harm's way.
The elemental world is home to the elementals, nature spirits who visit the material plane to carry out duties in the name of fire, air, water, or earth. The Elysian World, or Elysium The elysian world, also called Elysium, is the most unknowable of all the aetheric worlds, for it is the furthest removed from our own material home.
It is the resting place of those spirits finally free, the hallowed realm of souls unbound from obligations to the material world, or to any other, for that matter.
For this and other reasons, travel to Elysium is most dangerous and therefore the least documented. The spirits of the forever dead inhabit Elysium. No one who "lives" in this place awaits reincarnation, resurrection, or the like.
Their eternal cycles are at an end. Elysium is also home to the Greek pantheon and all of the sylvan creatures below the godscentaurs, fauns, nymphs, and the rest. In this place, these beings are similar in appearance and function to the characters described in the Greek myths. If you are fortunate enough to meet them, you will recognize them at once, but you may find them subtly different from what you'd expect.
Even the most carefully plotted trip to Elysium is subject to the powerful forces that guard the place. A Lethean field exists on the near side of the elysian frequency.
This vibration, named after the River Lethe in Dante's Divine Comedy, causes rapid decay in the short- and long-term memory functions of the human brain, often to the point where people remember nothing of their time in Elysium. Intense study of the nature of the elysian world is, in the opinion of this author, a foolhardy undertaking for mentalists of less than two decades' experience.
Each of the worlds is made of aether, albeit aether vibrating within a frequency unique to that world. When you contact any of the other worlds, your aetheric body is vibrating within a range distinct from its usual rate, the one that keeps us rooted in the material world.
These subtle differences in vibration allow us to see beyond the material world and into the aether. As you can see from the title of this lesson, you are about to learn of the intelligences you will encounter in your studies of mentalism. It is a bit of a misleading term, "aetheric beings," because no matter where you go, in this world or another, you are always in the aether.
Truth be told, we are all aetheric beings. The difference between us is in which vibrational range we primarily dwell. You are familiar with the beings to be found within the material-world vibration, as you yourself are such a creature.
Plants, animals, insects, and microbes share this world, too. The intelligences that exist in the astral, elemental, and elysian worlds do so at the specific frequencies unique to that plane. In this way, beings indigenous to the astral world will never encounter beings in the elemental world without the use of mentalism, and vice versa. Mentalists, however, truly have the best of all worlds, as they can "tune" their bodies to the frequencies of any of the other worlds, if only for a short while.
Despite the inability of most aetheric beings to shift vibrational frequency from one world to the next, some aetherics visit the material world. The material plane acts as a sort of interpla- nar meetinghouse, and here elementals, elysians, and astralites can find one another. Certain high-level intelligences, such as the select beings known as the secret masters, are exempt from such restrictions and can move among all the worlds effortlessly.
The chart provided here simplifies and compares the vibrational ranges within the aether, showing how they correspond with each world. Think of it as a map of the aetheric plane that shows not necessarily the distance but rather the terrain one must traverse to get from one place to another. Notice that the material world, the place where we live our everyday lives, is situated between the lower astral and the elemental worlds.
In our day-to-day life, each of us vibrates physically at a frequency within the range for the material world. If we didn't, we would cease to exist here. No frequencies are listed on this chart, as mankind has no instruments to measure the vibrations outside the material world and thus no way to quantify them.
Until we do, we must be content to say that the higher a world is placed on the chart, the higher or faster the frequency associated with that world. Think of each world as a state of consciousness, or a state of mind, if you will. Below and above the Material Look at the chart. You'll notice right away that the elemental world resides below the material, vibrating at a lower frequency than you or I do. Just as the astral world is experienced at a higher, finer vibration, the elemental world is visited by tuning the mind and body down to a lower vibration.
The border between the material and lower astral frequencies is the one most often explored by humans. The barrier between these two worlds is more porous than the boundaries between other worlds in the aether. The lower astral world is where rudimentary astral projection takes place and matches the vibration of hypnosis subjects.
It is the gateway to the higher worlds of the astral and elysian. The lower astral frequency is home to spirits of the human dead who have unfinished business on earth. Spirits still connected to their possessions or to mortal life on earth dwell within this frequency range and are called revenants. We can communicate more effectively with revenants and other spirits when we vibrate at a frequency similar to their own. This is commonly achieved through meditation.
Some humans in the material world vibrate naturally near the high or low end of the material frequency range. Their existence is distinct from that of those in the middle, and they are often recognizably different. Early cultures recognized such men and women as shamans and went to them for spiritual advice. Today, high- and low-vibration humans have great potential for mentalism.
In the best of cases, high or low vibrators are blessed with superior levels of intelligence and intuition, sensing things others do not. In the worst cases, the same are also sadly prone to conditions akin to schizophrenia and dementia.
Exercise 8: Elemental Vibration In nature, we are surrounded by rocks, soil, wind, and water. It is our preoccupation with the material representation of the elements that keeps us from experiencing their subliminal antecedents in the elemental world. If you can use meditation and visualization to move from a material understanding of an elemental substance such as soil to an aetheric understanding of the same material, you will be that much closer to your preliminary travels from the material world.
Gather some soil on a plate and sit in front of it at the table, as if you were about to eat it for dinner. Without touching the stuff, do a thorough examination of the soil. Use only your senses of sight and smell and, where your senses fail you, let your imagination fill in the blanks.
What do you know about soil? What are its properties? What are its limitations? What is soil made of? What separates it from the rest of the world? If soil represents the element of earth, how is it different from a flame, a glass of water, or a breeze, each a representative of another element?
Spend some time asking yourself these and other questions that come to mind. Once you have stared intently at the soil and pondered these questions for more than five minutes, you will no doubt have already entered a sort of meditative state. Notice your breathing and let your mind focus on the soil before you.
Continue your examination as you meditate, and try not to move. Soil is immobile. It rests, supports the living things above, below, and within it. Take slow, deep breaths and feel your consciousness coming closer to the nature of the soil. Now close your eyes and meditate upon the new discoveries you've made about soil. What would it be like to be made of this stuff? Breathe, and as you do, focus your consciousness on your breath.
With each breath you mentally gain more of the rich, earthy, solid qualities of the soil. Your consciousness is slowing down, coming closer to the submaterial vibration of the elemental kingdom of earth.
Can you feel it? Of course you can. It is best to ease back into material consciousness, slowly envisioning your limbs and internal organs changing from rock and soil back to flesh and blood. Once you have returned to your regular body and frame of mind, write down your thoughts regarding your elemental vibrational experience. If you like, you may send a copy of your notes to the author. Try this exercise again later and see if you notice anything new.
The consensual nature of reality is valid in the material world as well, to a certain extent. Social constructs like those surrounding work, relationships, and day-to-day life corral our actions and, whether we like it or not, our thoughts and feelings. One person's words can affect our emotions, and another person's looks might put certain thoughts in your head or mine.
If provoked by external means, some thoughts are inevitable. If I say, "Don't think of pink elephants walking tightropes! Into your thoughts sway the pachyderms on the high wire. You can't help it, because you've been given a very specific instruction not to do something. Your thoughts go to the topic of the sentence. There is no way to get around thinking of pink elephants walking a tightrope, or at least it is inevitable that you will think of the elephants before you think of something else.
Even the act of consciously not thinking of pink elephants walking a tightrope fails you, because at least initially you will think of the thing you are not supposed to think of. Just as the pink elephants are best kept out of your mind if you don't ever think of not thinking of them, so your aetheric reality is protected if you go into the aether without preconceived notions of what you'll find there. Despite all the instruction given in this book, individual interpretation is king in the aether.
This book can only give you a frame of reference. Nothing is more important than your own experience. Stray thoughts in the aether are akin to stray dogs. They can run wild just like dogs, to good and ill effect. In the aether, where appearances can mask intentions, what you see is most certainly not what you get. In fact, it's no such thing at all. The entries herein are provided as a framework for you, the aetheric traveler, to use to understand the roles played by the dwellers of the elemental, astral, and elysian worlds.
It is not a prescriptive text that should overrule your own judgment when you encounter these creatures. Beginning mentalists must exercise extreme caution around more powerful aetheric beings. A creature with a better grasp on aetheric theory will always have the upper hand in a meeting with a lesser mentalist. The aether is not a place for bravado and the reckless approaching of higher intelligences.
There is an initial mental shock all lesser aetheric beings experience when they come in contact with a higher aetheric. The shock feels like the sensation of thinking you're alone and suddenly finding someone quite close to you. Another feeling people have compared to aetheric shock is the sensation of being awakened while in the hypnagogic state between wakefulness and dreams.
In much the same way as this type of disturbance, an aetheric shock often snaps the mentalist back to his or her material body. A lesser shock is felt upon settling at a nonmaterial frequency, but this shock doesn't usually snap your consciousness back to earth. Scale plays a dominant role in the aether. Things can never be assumed to have the same magnitude they hold on earth. This is true because the powers of thought, emotion, and perception are so crucial to how scale manifests itself in the aether.
Just as time can be distorted there, so can space. Something that seems to tower over one visitor in the aether may appear miniscule to the next. As with all things aetheric, scale is all in the mind ofand to a great degree, the minds around-the mentalist. Exercise 9: Inky Flares Try this experiment, which illustrates how consciousness represents itself on the aetheric plane.
Fill a basin or large bowl with water. Let a single drop of blue ink fall into the water. Do you see how the ink explodes out from its initial contact point with the water, dropping down and sending blue flares in all directions? Your consciousness ribbons out similarly as you travel in the aether, influencing other consciousnesses it encounters. Now add a single drop of red ink to the bowl, near the blue.
Streams of blue and red ink now intermingle in the water, each drop exploding and arcing ribbons over and under the other. In some places the two colors of ink meet and form a third.
Eventually, as the ink dissipates, the water in the basin takes on a very pale shade of the combined color of the two inks. So it is as your thoughts meet and are exchanged on the planes. This gestalt reality affects the shapes and properties of things, as well as sound, color, light, and atmospheric mood.
The reality of a weaker mentalist visiting the aether will always yield to the power of a being with stronger command over aether. In this way, it is very easy for a greater mentalist to control the reality of the lesser mentalists around him or her. Beginning mentalists should exercise extreme caution around all aetheric beings, as there are many who desire nothing more than your utter destruction.
This brief bestiary is by no means comprehensive, but it does detail some of the more prominent inhabitants of the astral, elemental, and elysian worlds. The descriptions and illustrations given here are the result of interviews with mentalists who have encountered said beings and, as such, are composite views.
Use these listings as a reference for your encounters with these creatures, but look for the unique qualities of individual spirits and entities. All are living beings, and all have idiosyncrasies just like you and I do.
Animal Spirits Animals have aetheric doubles just as naturally as any other thing on earth. When an animal dies, its double continues to live in the aether, manifesting to the material world when necessary. Unlike human spirits, which may haunt sites from their life on earth in order to fulfill karmic duties, animal spirits exist mostly to aid humans, performing any of a number of functions.
An animal spirit may serve as a guardian, a retriever, or a messenger. These functions are innate duties of the animal's soul, not tricks, so no training is necessary. In fact, more often than not, animal spirits aid humans without prompting from a mentalist. The spirits of departed animals may be contacted through a formal seance or may appear spontaneously in the vision of people familiar with the animals during their lives.
In the case of pets, owners are often the only mundane nonmentalist humans able to see the animal after death. Visually, an animal spirit keeps the same size and shape the animal had when living, albeit with a translucent, pale-colored body.
Like other ghosts, animal spirits glow slightly and are more visible in the dark than in sunlight. When an animal spirit enters a room, the vibrational frequency of the aether in the room raises slightly, increasing static electricity. Living animals in the vicinity of an animal spirit react much the same as they would if the animal were physically present e.
Animal spirits rarely continue on to Elysium after death. Those that do are often the spirits of "eternal animals"-such as the phoenix, manticore, or gryphon-that took a lesser animal's form for a period of time in the material world. Other animal spirits in Elysium act as servants to the masters and other highly evolved human spirits. Astral Hounds Dwelling primarily in the deep-space wildernesses of the astral world, astral hounds are highly evolved intelligences.
They are solitary creatures, not at all prone to packs like material world dogs. An astral hound manifests itself in the material world as a large black dog the size of a small horse. It may appear as any breed of large dog, but is always male. On earth, an astral hound speaks fluently in the language of any human he encounters. Astral hounds do not come to earth unless summoned.
Mentalists can summon an astral hound through a torturous regimen of meditation and fasting that lasts three days. The summoning ritual depletes the mentalist physically and mentally, so that when the hound arrives the mentalist poses little threat.
A summoned hound will manifest in the form of a large black dog and sit calmly before its new master. Once called, the hound may be assigned a task to perform in exchange for a portion of the summoning mentalist's personal aether.
Astral hounds are highly efficient guardians, messengers, detectives, advisors, and killers and will not betray their summoning master even if offered a better bargain. An astral hound can move very quickly and can dematerialize its physical body with ease to accomplish its task. This shift to its astral body allows the hound the ability to fly, teleport, or pass through walls. The arrival of an astral hound is preceded by a chill in the immediate area, as well as a sharp metallic scent, both of which provide a bit of warning to those destined to meet this mysterious and dangerous creature.
Departed Spirits Human afterlife is carried out in the other worlds. The exact qualifications for an assignment to the astral, elemental, or elysian world are so intricate and convoluted that no scholar could ever lay them down in printed form. One theory contradicts another, and all are faulty. This is why we have religion. Let it suffice to say that after death, a person's aetheric body leaves the material world for an existence on one of the others.
Until it returns to inhabit a material form once more, by means of resurrection or reincarnation, this body is known as a departed spirit. As you move through the worlds in your projected body, you will encounter souls who once lived in the material world. They are quite similar in appearance to astrally projected bodies, and are usually dull gray in color.
For the most part these spirits will pay you no mind. The afterlife is more like a waiting room than a cocktail party, after all. There have been cases of souls who imprison astral bodies in exchange for their freedom, so mentalists must be very cautious when they encounter a strange new soul. When this happens, the projected body is detached from its material form on earth, and the lost soul returns to earth to inhabit its new form.
This type of swapping maybe the basis for changeling phenomena in some cultures. D evas Immortal and unfathomable, devas also called angels are the guardians of the aether. They are ranked directly under the secret masters in the aetheric hierarchy, and they work in harmony with one another to carry out the unknowable plan of the universe. Although the deva has no true visual form, it usually conforms to the beliefs of its viewer.
A common form is that of a beautiful, androgynous human standing twelve feet tall. When no form is necessary, devas are invisible and undetectable. Otherwise, form follows function, and the deva can be abstract or flatly mundane, according to the need.
All is possible for the deva. Reality bends and stretches at its will. When necessary, devas can create life-forms plant, mineral, animal, or human from the aether to fulfill the needs of the overarching plan, including the speeding of an individual human through his or her past karma. Devas can be invoked through concentrated meditation and visualization in the form of prayer, if the summoner is invoking the deva through religious faith and will arrive if the summoner's need is genuine.
The most common requests of devas are those of protection and guidance. Devas will not partake in petty vengeful schemes of mortals. All works they perform are for the good of the universe.
An encyclopedic reference for mentalists, mind readers and magicians on the effect commonly known as "book tests. Present Yourself Second Edition is a presentation skills course for adult and young adult learners of English. Present Yourself Second Edition Level 1 is intended for low-intermediate students and focuses on giving presentations about everyday experiences. It can be used as a main text in a presentation skills course, in the context of a general conversation course, or as a component in speaking or integrated-skills classes.
A renowned stage magician reveals the secrets of The Mentalist's brainpower. On the hit television show The Mentalist, protagonist Patrick Jane employs his keen powers of observation and mental acuity to assist the police.
Now, noted stage magician Simon Winthrop explains How to Be a Mentalist by revealing how Jane comes to his startlingly accurate conclusions- and also asserts that it's possible for anyone to bring similar skills to bear in their everyday life.
Featuring intellectual and physical exercises, readers will learn how to reach their fullest mental potential by enhancing memory, developing observational abilities, using persuasion, and much more. This is a gimmicked magic prop book used for theatrical mentalism. This book was designed to use during the performance of a "Book Test. Frankenstein is in the Public Domain. A "Book Test" is a classic magic trick used by theatrical mentalists to demonstrate telepathy-like effects. An audience member the spectator is called onstage to assist the mentalist.
The spectator is shown one or more books, and asked to pick a random word from one of them. The word may be revealed to the audience, or recorded in some other way for later comparison. The mentalist then typically presents a routine to establish an atmosphere or back story, and proceeds to read the spectator's mind to reveal elements relating to the word read by the spectator.
One form of the book test uses a principal known as "Flashback," and comes in the form of a gimmicked book. The book is arranged so the last word on the right page is the same as the first word on the left page. In some forms the antonym appears on the mirror page, instead of the same word. For instance, if the word "day" appears as the last word on the right page, a straight flashback would put the word "day" on the left page, while an antonym version puts "night" there instead.
Flashback variations are often incorporated in gimmick books supporting other methods as well. The Frankenstein Book Test uses opposite words on the top lines of every page. When a stink bomb at school provides Angus with a chance to talk to Ella Eckles, he claims to share her interest in reading facial expressions.
