The Blurb
From the creative minds of David Jonathan and Nikolas Mavresis comes Travel Test – a sleek, modern approach to the classic book test with an unforgettable twist!
Here’s what happens:
Phase 1:
You mention you’re planning a trip across Europe as you bring out a slim wallet containing a travel tips article torn from a magazine and an accompanying travel gift card. The spectator browses the article and freely thinks of any challenging word. Using classic mentalism principles, you are able to reveal their thought of word with uncanny accuracy!
Phase 2:
Where most book tests end… Travel Test is just taking flight! As a jaw-dropping kicker, you prove their choice was not random and they were influenced to think of that very word… and the proof is revealed to have been hiding in plain sight the entire time! It’s a stunning display of influence, wrapped up in innocent and authentic props. No bulky books to carry around, no convoluted process – just compact, powerful mentalism that fits in your pocket. Whether you are a working professional or a passionate hobbyist, Travel Test is your boarding pass to miracles!
Insights for Performers:
- They can freely think of nearly a dozen different words from the article, which you can reveal using classic mentalism techniques enhanced with clever new subtleties.
- Every outcome can effortlessly be revealed as proof of influence, hidden in plain sight thanks to a clever no memorization revelation system built into the props.
- You will learn multiple techniques to obtain their thought of word; from no-memory options, to written and verbal revelations, and even multiple progressive anagrams! There are versatile solutions tailored for both beginners and seasoned mentalists alike.
You will receive three magazine pages (two spares), two premium quality plastic NFC enabled gift cards, a special slim wallet, over 1 hour of detailed video instructions and live performances, a PDF and an online training tool.
Grab yours today and take your audience on a trip they will never forget!
Jheff's Guide
WHAT IT IS:
Effect with Props
HOW ACCURATE OR COMPLETE THE AD COPY IS:
It’s mostly accurate, except for omitting the need for a cell phone during the revelation phase of the effect.
WHAT’S NOT INCLUDED THAT YOU NEED OR NEED TO KNOW:
The performer or participant must have a cell phone. It doesn’t matter whether it’s an Apple or an Android. I should also note that the magazine page, when folded, isn’t as flat as you might expect, and the wallet may be slightly bulkier than you expect. Over time, it will become flatter, but it’s still thicker than most may expect.
SETUP AND RESET:
There is a one-time setup that involves folding the magazine page and setting up the wallet. Beyond that, the reset involves folding the magazine page and placing it, along with the gift card, back in the wallet.
ANGLES:
None
SUITABLE VENUES:
Close-up, Walkaround
JHEFF’S JUDGMENT:
TRAVEL TEST is a strong two‑phase book test that becomes far more powerful when you separate the mind‑reading and influence moments by having the participant choose two different words or by using two different people. With that simple fix, the effect avoids one phase negating the other and turns into a very effective piece of EDC mentalism. David Jonathan and Nikolas Mavresis have created another winner.
