I am frequently asked what is my best-selling magic product. The answer is simple. It is my Walk On Water Book Test. It has sold out multiple times which allowed me to release updated versions with different books each time.
The reason is likely because it uses real books, it is practically self-working, requires no memory work, and even if you don’t perform it for decades, you will still be able to pick it up and do it with very little thought. I knew people who bought all the versions and put them on a shelf in their office and had visitors pick any book and they immediately got into the routine.
But the world has changed, and people don’t regularly walk around with hard cover books anymore, and justifying the use of them during a show has become awkward.
Until now… As I was climbing over all the Kreskin books at my warehouse it occurred to me that doing a book test with one of his books would be ideal, it would allow me to talk about the best-known mentalist of our time. And to further justify their use I added bookplates that prove the books came from his personal inventory which would make them seem like valuable collectibles.
I sent copies to my friends David Garrity and Jim Spinnato to use during their shows and am using that footage in the trailer: HERE
So, the limited edition WOW 7: Kreskin Edition gives you an instant logical presentation using justifiable props that will allow you to seemingly read people’s thoughts. Oh, and the books are also excellent reads.
►WOW 7: Kreskin Edition:
This is a very limited The Amazing Kreskin Edition that includes two books from his personal inventory.
It is an ideal way to present a mentalism routine while discussing the most famous mentalist in history and justifying the use of the two hardcover books.
While on stage you mention that you would like to try an experiment in mind reading. You introduce two hardcover books by the most famous mentalist in history, The Amazing Kreskin. You select a spectator and have them select one of the two books (free choice). Have them look through the book and tell you how many pages it has.
A second spectator is now asked to name any page number in the book (free choice). The first spectator now turns to the selected page and concentrates on the first word on that page.
You now read the spectator’s mind and write down the word they are thinking of. Ask them to yell out the word they are thinking of, then show the audience the word you wrote. They match.
But it is not over yet. As an afterthought have the spectator think of the last word on that page. You can now proceed to dramatically spell out the thought of word for a double miracle.

PS: At one time I used to open all my shows at Mostly Magic with the WOW Book Test and it always killed. For many years I kept it backstage when Emceeing shows as an emergency out if needed to kill time. It is ideal for a magic show interlude or if you prefer as part of a mentalism show. Since I released it, many people copied the main part of the method, some with credit, some without… which proves that it is worthwhile!
