Something Wicked This Way Comes Book Test by Josh Zandman

Any Word on Any Page

Something Wicked This Way Comes by Josh Zandman is a self-working book test built around a freely chosen word. A spectator opens the book to any page and chooses a word. You immediately know it, without asking questions or fishing for letters. Reveal the word directly or use it for a drawing duplication.

Four additional routines

• Super Flashback: Reveal the first word on any page without seeing it or memorizing anything.
• Tossed Out Book: Reveal freely chosen words from five spectators.
• Reverse Book Test: A spectator stops at any page in any book; reveal a word on the same page in Something Wicked.
• Pegasus Page: A built-in routine that happens in the spectator’s hands from beginning to end.

The effect requires no prior memorization, guessing, or fishing for letters. The English-language page uses a principle that can be adapted to other languages.
