Sorry, I meant Bip Book. The Scott Creasey product released by Alakazam (quite a well-known product in the mentalism community)?

I hope this helps with your question. I'm guessing you're familiar with the BIP test so I won't go into that here. In short, without giving away too much of the working, RVM does NOT use the Svengali principle. You just need to know what page has been chosen. This can be done with a riffle glimpse or by getting spectators to choose a number. (Or any other method you know.) Once you know the page, there are methods to divine what’s on it. No page is exactly the same, though some information is repeated throughout. There are five pieces of information on each page: a symbol, city, time of day, playing card, word. Unlike BIP, RVM is repeatable to the same audience, and the book can be examined. At the same time, unlike BIP – which is easier to do for obvious reasons if you have it – RVM is not something you can do ‘straight out of the box’. There are techniques to learn but I can manage them and I’m almost 70! Hope that helps.

Looks very similar to Bip Book. Can you explain any differences?

I'm afraid we're unfamiliar with Big Book.

How is this different from other book tests in the market? (MOAB/Flash Back/Grant/Sven)

I think it's fair to say it's just different. You need to know what page is chosen (which can be glimpsed with a riffle because of the book's page numbering). Once you know the page, there are methods to divine what’s on it. No page is exactly the same, though some information is repeated throughout. There are five pieces of information on each page: a symbol, city, time of day, playing card, word. RVM is repeatable to the same audience, and the book can be examined. It's more difficult to do than, say, MOAB and the others you mention (all of which are terrific book tests). RVM is not something you can do ‘straight out of the box’. (Which means not everyone will be using it!) There are techniques to learn but I can manage them and I’m almost 70! Hope that helps.

A book test with a meaningful and powerful presentation from the Magic Circle's award-winning author of Magic With Meaning, James Ward.

With your helper playing the part of an enemy spy located elsewhere in the world, you replicate 1950's era government experiments by proving you can leave your body and access top secret information. You will demonstrate the power of remote viewing.

"The Remote Viewing Manual" allows you to reveal a place name, time of day, playing card, ESP symbol and word that your helper is thinking of—from any one of a hundred different pages in the book.

Any page can be chosen
No two pages are the same
The book can even be handed out for inspection.

While this is the perfect stage or stand-up magic book test, it can also be easily performed during your table-hopping or close up magic sets thanks to the fact its conveniently pocket-sized.

Unlike many book tests, the "Remote Viewing Manual Book Test" has a built-in justification for its use. Purporting to be a facsimile copy of an original 1954 reference tool—one that predated but was used during the famous Stargate Project of the 1970s—the Manual's content has clear purpose and dispenses with the need to force one book from several, which can often look false.

Each book test comes with PDF instructions. The methods are very creative and are not difficult to learn. They may even spark new ideas for you.

Customer reviews for Remote Viewing Manual Book Test

Brendan

I bought the RVM knowing full well that the method was overly complicated, I'd seen the reviews and it really seemed that people were ragging on this product. The common theme in those reviews were the comparisons to BIP book and admittedly I've never owned BIP book but I'm aware of the method behind it. BIP book is way easier method-wise sure but I feel like I can more freely handle RVM. RVM because its easier handling feels like more authentic mind reading. Imagine just asking the spectator to pick a number between 1-100 handing them the book, walking across the room and then walking them through every item in the order they choose on the page, then they flip through the pages and see that each page could have been different options. It's so powerful and the method is hard to see when you don't know it. Some downsides: -I don't know if it's just my book but the printing on the pages don't align and it's absolutely the most annoying thing about the book, I don't know if this was intentional and if it was then that's just evil. -The instruction link is printed on the first page of the book and it's a Murphy's Magic link. There is some tips on how to explain this or hide this but really just feels like a sloppy decision for the book, If you're going to print the link to the instructions at least use a less obvious link so that it fits with the theme of the book. -4 of the 5 reveal items have pretty easy techniques to get the information but the "random" word is absolutely the hardest to get, it makes sense because it has the most options but the method behind the words while seems easy at first is the most frustrating reveal.
