Trinity Book Test by Alex Latorre

Created by: Alex Latorre

Trinity Book Test by Alex Latorre is a comprehensive mentalism act packaged into a single, ordinary-looking book. As a spectator, you'll witness a three-phase performance that begins with a precise prediction, moves into a mind-reading demonstration where your thoughts are seemingly known, and culminates in a stunning climax where a freely chosen page physically vanishes from the book and impossibly reappears in your hands. This is a close-up or parlour mentalism effect that requires no electronics or complicated setups, making it ideal for impromptu performances. Buyers should note that it comes as a complete, ready-to-perform package with the book and necessary instructions, allowing for a full act out of the box.

Effect

The Trinity Book Test presents as a complete mentalism act using a single book. A spectator freely chooses a page from the book. The performer reveals a prediction that matches the chosen page. The performer then demonstrates apparent mind-reading of a word from that page. For the climax, the chosen page physically vanishes from the book and impossibly reappears in the spectator's own hands.

Full details

The Trinity Book Test by Alex Latorre is a self-contained mentalism prop. It is an entire act built into one book. The routine includes three distinct phases: a prediction, a mind-reading demonstration, and a physical vanish and reproduction of a page. The method does not require electronics, pre-show work, or forcing a specific page. The book appears to be a normal, examinable object. All necessary components are included with the purchase.

Who should consider the trick

This trick is for mentalists and magicians who want a complete, multi-phase routine with a strong climax. It is suitable for performers who work in close-up or parlor settings and want a prop-based act that is easy to transport. Because it is a full act, it is a good choice for those building a set list and need a strong, self-contained piece. It is also ideal for performers who want to present a routine that builds in impact from a prediction to a physical miracle.

Information on how difficult it is to perform

The Trinity Book Test is designed for practical performance. The methods are straightforward to execute. The main challenge for the performer will be the presentation and pacing of the three-phase routine. No complex sleight of hand is required. The props handle the heavy lifting, allowing the magician to focus on audience management and presentation. A performer can be ready to present this after a short period of practice and rehearsal.

This positions the Trinity Book Test as a powerful and complete routine for mentalism performers.
