Glance 3.0

The strongest, easiest, and most practical book test you’ll ever find is actually not a book test at all. It’s hidden within the pages of an innocent-looking magazine, and it just got even better!

“To be blunt, the price tag is WAY too low for a secret this strong!" Ken Weber

What would happen if you took all the best parts of a book test and wrapped them into a normal-looking magazine that looks like it was just plucked right off a shelf? What if it was also super easy to use and even offered a method where you don’t have to do any awkward mental fishing?

“Glance” is a perfect magazine book test from the creative mind of Steve Thompson.

We all love a good book test. But sometimes it feels a bit weird showing up to an event carrying our own books. As magazines are more commonly purchased and read on the go, they offer way more natural cover for your book test. Your audience will never suspect a thing.

What is the “Glance” Magazine Book Test?

After being unavailable for years, we’re delighted to let you know that “Glance” is now back with a revamped third edition featuring brand-new modern cover designs. You get two ready-to-go magazines that look identical to those you’d find anywhere in the world. As the size of the magazines has also been adjusted to match the size of the most common magazines in the world, you can also quickly remove the cover and replace it with one from your favorite magazine if you’d like.

There’s also the added benefit that a magazine is much more cost-effective to print and those savings are passed on to you. You won’t find a high-quality book test as effective as this for a price this low anywhere else. There is a reason that the two previous versions were perennial bestsellers.

How Does “Glance” Work?

Your helper gets to choose either one of the two magazines. They then flip through and stop on any page they want and find a long, difficult word. It could be from an article or an ad. Everything is fair game.

Once they have a word in mind, they close the magazine. Without ever needing to open it again, you look them right in the eye and tell them the word they were thinking of. Mentalism really doesn’t get any cleaner or more direct than “Glance”.

With permission from Ted Karmilovich, Steve Thompson implemented the incredibly popular “Mother Of All Book Tests” principle (aka MOABT) into normal-looking magazines that can be given to your participant to peruse without any fear. Even better, he’s worked out an alternative method that enables you to figure out their word without having to fish for the first letter. Truly brilliant thinking!

It almost feels like cheating that an effect this powerful can be so unbelievably easy to perform. You’ll learn it in minutes and perform it for a lifetime. It’s perfect for magicians and mentalists of any skill level and works just as well in your parlor or stage show as it does in your close-up set. It’s perfect for casual settings and professional settings alike.

No sleight of hand is required at all. There are no short pages, no glimpses, and no peeks. You don’t have to worry about prepping, counting, or even memorizing anything since Steve has ingeniously incorporated a crib right into the magazine in the most clever way. There’s no need to download an app or worry about batteries or wifi either. It really is as simple as having them open the magazine and find a word.
