Effect:

The magician begins by sharing a peculiar dream they had a few days prior, where they were immersed in the stories of Sherlock Holmes. What made this dream unusual was the fact that the book was invisible and didn’t actually exist, yet the performer could see it along with all the words on its pages.

To illustrate this dream, the performer presents an invisible book. As they flip through its pages, they randomly announce various words and invite the spectator to think of one of them.

After several words are mentioned, the performer astonishingly reveals the exact word the spectator was merely thinking of, without the spectator ever uttering it or writing it down.

KEY POINTS:

• Suitable for close-up performances, stage shows, video calls, and even over the phone or radio.
• The spectator never speaks or writes anything down during the performance.
• No word forcing involved.
• No memorization required.
