Welcome to the iBook Test. This is a modern take on the classic book test. Imagine going up to your spectator and taking out your smart phone. You go into iBooks for example. The spectator can choose any book they want. You swipe a couple of pages to show it’s a real book and then turn the phone screen towards the floor telling them you want them to swipe to a random page number. They can swipe forwards or backwards as much as they want and can stop anytime. You then bring the phone back up and ask them to remember the first word on that page and the page number. And before all of that has happened, you already know what the page number is, and what the word is they’re merely THINKING of. This is the iBook Test.
Bonus ideas include predicting a thought of name or number from your contact list, a thought of song or artist from your playlist and you can even do drawing duplications.

– Alan Rorrision
