ABACUS

ABACUS stands for Any Book, Actually Chosen; Universal System.

This is my new favourite impromptu book test — and it’s built for real-world use.

A participant grabs any book… from anywhere… completely freely.

Within moments, they are thinking of a word…

And then you reveal it.

I’m going to be completely upfront with you.

This method is deceptively basic.

It uses foundational principles, combined with some new thinking, structure, and routining that make the effect feel impossible.

If you’re the type of person who dismisses simple methods… this isn’t for you.

If you like practical, real-world mentalism that actually gets used… you’ll love this.

I love having a book test on me at all times.

No setup. No stress. No props.

Just something I can do anywhere, at any time.

ABACUS is exactly that.

• Use ANY borrowed book.
• Completely impromptu.
• 4 methods taught.
• 3 use your phone, 1 uses your brain.
• Works on iPhone AND Android.
• One-time setup (for phone versions).
• Ridiculously easy to learn.
• 40 minute tutorial.
• Designed for real-world performance.

This is an extremely simple effect.

Almost suspiciously simple.

But once you actually perform it…

You’ll understand how hard it hits.

A final note: as it says in the teaser (twice), the performance has been shortened slightly to hide the method.

The removed section involves a small moment right before the clip begins which gives you a way to perform the effect.

Learn it once. Use it forever.
