Simply walk up to a stranger reading anything written in English, ask them to select a word in a fair test of your ability. You reveal the concept the word embodies and the word itself. You can even do it over the phone. The script itself can be learned and used as is, or you can improvise to suit your own style and approach. The data for the model underlying the Fully-Scripted Naked Book Test is presented as an appendix to enable you to do just that.< Less

It also shows how to merge stacks to create full routines, and even shows how to update effects from yesteryear using the deck’s unique qualities.

Just Routine By Jon Thompson

eBook (PDF): List Price: $15.50 $7.75 | You Save: 50%

Newly released! Just Routine contains three strong and reassuringly mature multi-phase routines, which develop the concept of partially stacked stripper decks I first explored in the book... More > "Stripped and Stacked". “The Broken Deck” revolves around the idea of a deck being somehow faulty. No matter what the performer does, the same card keeps appearing at points in the deck designed to be as random as can be. “The Right Envelope” is about a long chain of randomness leading to a sealed prediction that has been in the spectator's possession all along. Finally, “Your Card” begins as a cheap trick but soon descends into the strange, psychological world of muscle reading - but without the risk of failure. Contains full details of all the stripper deck sleights you'll need.< Less

More > properties. The majority are in print here for the first time. There’s also a full description of why various priming techniques work, extensive advice on their use (including how to reveal a difficult spectator’s unspoken, discarded options – in the order she has them), a section of full effects, and an extensive appendix of extra data. Also described is the powerful and flexible Pragmagram technique, used to create revolutionary effects such as the Naked Book Test.
