DESCRIPTION

First published in 1950, this scarce, highly acclaimed C. L. Boarde masterwork is an indispensable resource for any magician or mentalist interested in routining a truly baffling book test. Over 70 methods are covered in four expansive sections: 1. General information; 2. The Strict Force; 3. The Ranging Force; and 4. The Post Factum. Each and every phase of operation is broken down into separate entities so that one may select a method of forcing a word, for instance, and then apply it to one or several of the many book test principles explained. Plus, both prepared and unprepared books are covered, as are cloth-bound books, paperbacks, magazines and even newspapers. 106 line drawings support the clear and detailed instructions. Re-typeset and reformatted for 8.5 x 11 (or A4) page size, 110 pages. This important book remains unparalleled in the field and printed copies regularly command a price of up to two hundred dollars or more from used booksellers.

Please note, Mainly Mental, Volume One on Billet Work, is now available! Also from C. L. Boarde, The Borrowed Brain.
