Effect

The Pegasus Page Routine is a visual and impossible moment in a book test. A spectator chooses a word from a book. The magician turns to the page where the word appears. The page then vanishes from the book, only to reappear later in an impossible way. The effect is clean and leaves no room for suspicion.

Full Details

The Pegasus Page Routine is part of the Jedi Book Test by Josh Zandman. It is one of four routines included in the book. The routine requires a one-time five-minute setup before performance. The book itself is gimmicked, but the effect is easy to perform once prepared. The method does not rely on angles, but the book should not be handed out for prolonged examination after the effect.

Who Should Consider the Trick

This routine is ideal for magicians who want a visual and surprising moment in their book test performances. It works well for close-up, parlor, or stage settings. Performers who enjoy multi-phase routines will appreciate the flexibility of combining it with other effects in the Jedi Book Test.

Information on How Difficult It Is to Perform

Tyler Lunsford describes the routine as "really easy to do." The method is straightforward, allowing the performer to focus on presentation rather than complex sleight of hand. The only preparation needed is a one-time setup that takes about five minutes.

What Magicians Say

Tyler Lunsford highlights the Pegasus Page Routine as a standout moment in the Jedi Book Test. He praises its visual impact and the impossibility of the effect. He notes that while the book should not be examined too closely after the routine, the method itself is angle-proof. The routine is part of a larger system that offers multiple performance options, making it a strong value for performers who want versatility.

The Jedi Book Test, including the Pegasus Page Routine, is priced at $100. Lunsford believes the price is justified due to the multiple routines included and the quality of the methods. However, he emphasizes that strong presentation is necessary to make the most of the effects.
