The Blurb
This All About Eve (2nd Edition) has been professionally produced by Haresign Press and now comes in a choice of three awesome cover designs. It also includes a full tutorial DVD.
Steve Dela offers you a brand new take on the portable “hands off” book test.
This is a serious bit of kit for the professional working mentalist.
A truly “must have” item to add to your show or even keep on you at all times for seemingly impromptu and direct mind reading.
Your spectator takes hold of a small, “pocket-sized” novel and is instructed to open up to absolutely any page. They scan the page with their eyes and simply choose a word from the hundreds facing them.
Now, without any questions asked, letter by letter you start to divulge parts of the word they are thinking of. After they confirm the 4th letter in a row, you proceed to reveal the entire word!
*As a bonus, a custom design Crib is also supplied so you can now perform this amazing effect straight out of the box with absolutely NO MEMORY WORK!
It just doesn’t get any better than this.
*No stooges.
*Pocket-sized book.
*Any page selected.
*Minimal or no memory work.
*Authentic-looking book designs.
*Many words to choose from.
*Perfect for stage or close up.
*Nothing to know before you start the reveal.
*You never touch the book during the routine.
*No “significant words” (other than and, then, but, etc.) repeat across any two-page spread!

JHEFF’S JUDGMENT:
There is one key feature in this, which is quite valid and inspired that makes this different from Ted Karmilovich’s MOTHER OF ALL BOOK TESTS, but the drawback is that it may not be practical to have more than one person look at the book and get a word. I do have some issues with the interior formatting and editing of the book, but, if you’re not bothered by such things, I have to say that ALL ABOUT EVE does exactly what it says it does and is worth getting.
