The Living and Dead Test

This manuscript is all about the Living and Dead Test, as well as Pseudo-Psychometry, performed with pieces of paper.

These are effects that have stood the test of time—not merely satisfied with locating the target name, but also allowing you to reveal the name, when you are not returning each piece of paper to its owner or having a participant do the finding themselves!

• Airnia by Nestor Dee: A seemingly hands-off Living and Dead Test, revealing a piece of information written on a piece of paper that you apparently never touched, complete with a surprise reveal later in the show!
• Desire for the Dead by Nestor Dee: A billet effect with no moves, performed legitimately blindfolded, yet returning all billets to their owners and revealing a name!
• Billet Ode to Bernstein by Julien Losa: Julien’s go-to pendulum routine, locating the participant’s target, having them reproduce your feat, and ending with the revelation of a thought-of lost object!
• A Peek for Docc Hilford’s Dead or Alive by Nestor Dee: This is … a peek for Docc Hilford’s Dead or Alive. I have performed this routine for more than ten years, this is my peek of choice to perform it fully impromptu, in any conditions.

[Note that this does not include Docc Hilford’s Dead or Alive; you will have to purchase it separately from him.]
