SleightfulSaturn Magic - Christmas Carol Book Test (New Version) by Josh Zandman
Michael O'Brien delivers a thorough "First Look" review of Josh Zandman's "A Christmas Carol" book test, highlighting its versatility and ease of use. This isn't just a single trick; it's a toolbox of mentalism methods, including the Super Flashback Method (lightly examinable and performance-ready with minimal practice), the Tossed Out Book Method (100% self-working), and the impressive Pegasus Page Method, which combines mind-reading, prediction, and page transportation. The unique selling point is the Zan – Card at Any Number Method, allowing for a card and position reveal. O'Brien suggests it's perfect for holiday performances and encourages combining multiple methods for a layered routine. He praises the book's deceptive nature and its ability to let performers focus on presentation, making it a strong endorsement of Zandman's design philosophy.
