😮 gotta get it. One of my favourite books

[@rajansharma4488]

Would love to know more about reverse book test. Do we need to go through the book first or we can do it without going through the spectator book.

[@OBrienMagic]

The reverse book test is a method that allows a spectator to name any freely chosen page and you immediately know the last word on the page without having to ask any more questions. You do not need a second book.

@@OBrienMagic so it don’t have random book test built in?

[@jefftravilla]

Thanks so much for this review. I’m browsing Josh’s site and trying to decide which book to start with. If it’s possible to answer this without tipping the method, I’m trying to understand the difference between what he calls the LLW method in the Alice book test versus this holy grail method. Is it substantially different, and more importantly, is the spectator’s experience different?

[@OBrienMagic]

The principles between alice and 451 are similar but not the same. For example you watch their eyes in both methods but you are not watching for the same thing. The method in 451 is also much easier to spot than in alice IMO.

[@OBrienMagic]

Your question about “is it substantially different?” Yeah it isnt the same method. Its like asking if a pass and double undercut are substantially different as both are methods to control a card to the top. The experience for the spectator will be watever you make it. No two performers are the same. Even when doing flashback, I perform it for a few different people and do it differently each time. So even though I am using the same method, the experiences are different

[@jefftravilla]

@@OBrienMagic thanks so much for the clarification! What I meant in terms of the spectator’s experience was related to differences in the amount of procedure. It sounds like they’re similar in that experience. I guess I was just trying to suss out for myself whether Alice was a better starting point than 451 because of the price difference and extendability to the other books in the set. I’m really intrigued by all of them, but I think I’m probably going to start with the books in series 2 and put 451 on a wishlist for later. Thanks again!

Great review. Someone was asking me if we mainly want to perform Pegasus and we already have Time Machine, is this a different version of Pegasus? Is it worth buying this for Pegasus if you already have TM?

[@OBrienMagic]

The method is pretty much identical tbh. I would buy this for the holy grail method personally. I use TM for my pegasus page too! For me it is more about what story you want to tell. The PP for 451 is cool because the story is about destroying books so it works well!

[@jeangriffin8015]

@@OBrienMagic ok thanks, is the word (having to do with Frankenstein, Godzilla, Cookie, etc.) the same? If it’s a different circled word then at least you could repeat for the same audience at a different show.

[@yojz]

@@jeangriffin8015 It's a different word.
