Daniel Defoe

Robinson Crusoe Daniel Defoe

This is a mentalism trick, but it appears to be a popular novel both on the cover and in the text. There are many routines that can be performed with the book but to describe them and the actual contents of the book would reveal secrets to the uninitiated. We, therefore, offer a few descriptions of some of the routines that can be performed with this book. Routine One - Between three and seven spectators randomly select a page from the book by inserting a playing card between pages and then writing down the page number. Another spectator randomly chooses one page from the list, turns to that page, and concentrates on the word on that page. The mentalist also concentrates, then draws a picture. The spectator reveals his word, and the mentalist shows that it matches the picture he drew. Routine Two - A spectator opens the book to a page and states the page number. The mentalist shows his extraordinary memory by telling the spectator the first word on the page. Routine Three - A spectator turns to a different page and a random word is chosen, but the mentalist knows the word. The book is examinable by spectators. The key and instructions are found on a secret webpage contained in the book.
