Universal Monsters Collection (Frankenstein) by Josh Zandman

Michael O'Brien delivers a thorough review of Josh Zandman's Universal Monsters book test series, a Halloween-themed collection featuring Frankenstein, Dracula, and The Hunchback of Notre Dame. This series is designed for versatility, allowing performers to use one, two, or all three books together for a wide range of routines. Zandman's approach prioritizes ease of use, minimizing the need for memorization, and the books are described as 'lightly examinable.' The series boasts a variety of impressive methods, including the Multi-Book Flashback, Super Flashback, Reverse Book Test, and Tossed Out Book Test, along with a built-in Pegasus Page effect. O'Brien demonstrates how to combine the books with ordinary books to expand performance possibilities and highlights the flexibility of the system, allowing for spectators to be located anywhere in the room and multiple minds to be read simultaneously. He strongly recommends acquiring the entire series, praising its versatility and the wealth of routines it enables, and encourages magicians to join the Josh Zandman Book Test Facebook group for community discussion and interaction with Zandman.
