5 out of 5

This is based upon Herbert Milton’s original idea: A Page of Mystery first published by Percy Naldrett in his book Collected Magic Volume Six (c. 1925). Mr. Emerson extends Mr. Milton’s idea by using three books instead of one and replacing the sand frame for two laminated sheets which are used to write the page and name of the book.

You might have seen this on the last set of DVD’s from Richard Osterlind – the impact on the audience is amazing!

This comes with three classic books, so you can perform this miracle out of the box:

  • 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea – Jules Verne
  • Sense & Sensibility – Jane Austen
  • Oliver Twist – Charles Dickens

Of course you can use your own books. Once you have the right type of book it takes about 30 minutes to alter all three books after ordering a certain supply from your favorite online store.

When performed well it is a truly stunning effect. The props are a bit on the cheap side, but only magic collectors worry about that, and if anything they enhance the magic.  What I like about this effect is it is so clean, you walk in and are ready to perform this at any time during your show.  The only props you use are the three books, two laminated sheets and marker – nothing is added or taken away.  You can hand them to the spectator to hold and move straight into the routine.  Reset is also almost instant.

This is an effect you will surely perform :
