Description
This is a mentalism trick, but it appears to be a popular novel both on the cover and in the text. There are many routines that can be performed with the book but to describe them and the actual contents of the book would reveal secrets to the uninitiated. We, therefore, offer a few descriptions of some of the routines that can be performed with this book.Routine One - Between three and seven spectators randomly select a page from the book by inserting a playing card between pages and then writing down the page number. Another spectator randomly chooses one page from the list, turns to that page, and concentrates on the word on that page. The mentalist also concentrates, then draws a picture. The spectator reveals his word, and the mentalist shows that it matches the picture he drew.Routine Two - A spectator opens the book to a page and states the page number. The mentalist shows his extraordinary memory by telling the spectator the first word on the page.Routine Three - A spectator turns to a different page and a random word is chosen, but the mentalist knows the word.The book is examinable by spectators. The key and instructions are found on a secret webpage contained in the book.

Daniel Foe was born in London c. 1660, the son of James, a prosperous chandler and Presbyterian dissenter. He lived through the Great Plague of 1665 and the Great Fire of 1666, which left only his and two other houses standing in the area. As a general merchant, he was able to buy a country estate and a ship, though he was nearly always in debt. He joined the Monmouth Rebellion in 1685, but was pardoned. However, he spent a spell in debtor's prison, after which he travelled Europe and Scotland, returning in 1695, when, now surnamed Defoe, he began serving as a Commissioner of the Glass Duty and, in 1696, running a brick and tile factory. He became a prolific pamphleteer, which led him to the pillory and Newgate Prison. In exchange for his liberty, he agreed to work as an intelligence agent for the Tories, then as a propagandist for the Whigs, and then as a mouthpiece for the Anglo-Scottish Union. His novels and non-fiction books occupied him from the mid 1710s until his death in 1731.
