Saturn Magic - Universal Monsters Collection (Dracula) by Josh Zandman

Michael O'Brien delivers a glowing review of Josh Zandman's Universal Monsters book test series, a collection of three books – *Dracula*, *Frankenstein*, and *Hunchback of Notre Dame* – each themed around classic Universal monster movies. The series features a cleverly gimmicked book test that allows for a variety of routines and presentations, enabling the performer to reveal a spectator's chosen word or phrase with impressive accuracy. The books are lightly examinable, appearing ordinary while containing the necessary information. O'Brien highlights several methods, including the Multiple Book Method, Super Flashback, Pegasus Page Method, Tossed Out Book Test, Tossed Out Plus, and Reverse Book Test. He emphasizes the series' versatility, allowing for performances with spectators at a distance and the ability to read multiple minds simultaneously. Even with limited memorization, the books provide sufficient information for effective performance, and the presenter can reveal information in various creative ways. O'Brien highly recommends the series for both experienced and aspiring performers and suggests joining the "Xanman Book Test" Facebook group to connect with other enthusiasts and share ideas.
