2 Lessons
This path compares two Book Test methods by Julio Ribera. Both allow you to present a revelation of information read by a spectator, but they use different setups and conditions. Each lesson includes a performance, explanation, and the crafting of the props.
Three Books and a Page Selection
The first proposal features three books with different appearances and uses a page number to build the choice. The DIY preparation starts with three identical copies and two additional books with different covers. The splitting, gluing, trimming, and finishing of the set are explained.
The handling teaches a page selection using a deck and a double-backer card, though it allows for another known force to be used. The presentation with one or multiple spectators and the revelation through images, colors, and emotions are also studied.
A Prediction with a Magnetic Ring
The second proposal uses a PK ring and a word gimmick made from thin material that adheres to the ring. The preparation shows the cutting, paper alignment, and finishing to adapt it to the book used.
The explanation includes a prior rehearsal with the participant, writing the prediction, donning the ring, and removing the gimmick after the reading. Cover, finger palm, and word orientation are practiced.
Choosing Based on the Materials
The first method requires modifying books and preparing the revelation information. The second requires a magnetic PK ring and a piece adapted to its shape and the pages. You can find the ring at your usual magic shop; the remaining construction materials are described in the lesson.
These are effects involving preparation and rehearsal. The path allows you to study two ways of organizing the apparent freedom of choice and the presentation of the outcome, without claiming that any book or any ring will work under all conditions.
