The mentalist asks anyone to chose any page and then any word from a regular unprepared book, they can even change their mind. The mentalist asks them to imagine that their freely chosen word is their new Facebook password and the freely selected page their new credit card PIN. The mentalist is then able to cleanly divine both! No strange procedures are used to select the page or word. They truly have a free choice. No forces of any kind are used. Everything is examinable, there is nothing to find. An anytime, anyone, anyplace mind reading miracle.





I bring out a pocket dictionary and hand it to my participant.

Participant: Yes. I retrieve the dictionary and while I turn my head around so I can't see I riffle through the pages as I say:

Participant: Stop

Participant: Yes I open the dictionary towards them with my head still turned.





Participant: Yes

Participant: Yes I turn my back and face them.

They agree.

I take a business card.

I write, place it in my pocket and say:





Participant: Philosophy

Participant: Ok

I do as I say. Participant: I’ve got a number in mind.

Participant: Ready

Participant: OK





Participant: How do you know?!

I write something on another business card and and place it along the other card.

Participant: 358 I take both cards from my pocket and hand it to them facedown and again ask:

Participant: Philosophy

Participant: 358







All I need is a dictionary or book with the page numbers on top, they are fairly common; that and two business cards. After handing it for inspection, I hold the dictionary vertically with all the pages facing towards them. I riffle trough the pages with my head turned and instruct them to say stop whenever they like and as soon as they say stop, I ask:

It is at this moment that I take a peek at the page number on top of the page. And immediately turn my head back again. I remember this number. The fist part is basically a variation of Marc Paul's AAA Book Test; a must know for





I pretend to read their minds and I write my impressions, in reality I write: Number: (Number I peeked) I place it in my pocket and say that I'm committed, they name their word out loud and I pretend to be slightly wrong, so almost as an afterthought I propose a second experiment before showing them the word in my pocket. I turn my back again and I ask them to remember the page number where their word is located. For2 5.2/ TT2 TT2 1 Tfoin my po7 a0 0 1 72 0 45 cm B
