Glance: Updated by Steve Thompson

Present two popular magazines to your audience and let a spectator choose one for examination. After they select, instruct them to open the magazine to any page and think of a challenging word. This could be from an ad or a caption—anything goes. Once they have their word, they close the magazine, and you turn back to reveal the exact word they are thinking of. Glance, created by Steve Thompson from Ireland, in collaboration with V. and designed by Andi Gladwin, features a fully prepared contemporary news magazine. By wrapping it with any current magazine cover, you gain access to a powerful tool for mentalism: an everyday object that enables you to perform extraordinary feats. Dubbed the Mother of All Book Tests, Glance allows you to execute one of the most astonishing and memorable mentalism tricks using a familiar item. Thanks to Steve’s innovative system, there’s no need to fish for information before revealing the chosen word.
