The End Book Test by Angelo Carbone – Mind-Reading Magic

The End: A Hands-Off Book Test by Angelo Carbone

One book, one spectator, one thought-of word. The End is a mentalism book test by Angelo Carbone designed for a direct word revelation without peeking. Its ordinary-looking paperback contains a story written by Angelo himself, giving the prop the appearance and feel of an everyday read.

Make the spectator's thought the focus of your presentation rather than a series of extra procedures. The routine is designed to avoid unnecessary prompts, warm-up rounds and additional spectators.

A different approach to word revelation

Instead of the traditional approach of fishing for a word's first letter, The End takes a contrasting route. Its phonetic memory system helps you remember words through sound rather than sequences of letters, with a large bank of easy-to-remember words.

The handling is designed so that a wrong guess can still be perceived as a hit by the spectator, helping the revelation maintain its impact. A no-memorization option is also included.

"The End by Angelo Carbone is typical of his creations. Streamlined and very workable! It is now a more natural way to get the thought of word. If book tests are your thing, GET THIS!"
