The Triple Bold Book Test

The Triple Bold Book Test is my current favorite book test for stage and parlor demonstrations.

The process feels very fair, yet the method is dead easy and can be tailored to any theme or reveal, meaning that I can easily reveal whatever I want, however I want to. If I can do that, the sky is the limit, and there is really no reason for me to search for another book test…

Also, did I mention that you can put it together in a pinch from any airport’s bookshop if your luggage ever gets lost?

“Here is a book test that is so simple, yet so bold and subtle you can do it any place, even in brightly colored swim trunks (boxer type!)” — David Hoy, The Bold and Subtle Miracles of Dr Faust

“We were at Little Rock airport, about to leave for New York. In the bookshop lounge David told me to take any four paperbacks from the shelves. To my amazement and that of the staff he did a fabulous book test on the spot. Later he showed me the whole thing. It was terrific.” — Terry Seabrooke, Abracadabra Vol. 71

“Did you know that David Hoy, American mentalist presented a book test on T.V., then exposed the method. He was quoted as saying he didn’t know how to get out of the situation.” — Paul Marcus, Magicana issue 132
