Dracula Book Test 2.0 – Flash Back Version

As featured by Richard Osterlind with an “Errata” ending on his “No Camera Tricks” DVD.

The best selling book test we ever created is The Dracula Book Test, and version 2.0 doesn’t disappoint either. But we wanted to design a book test that could be handed out and read cover to cover without any gaff or coding being detected. We’re pleased to say that version 2.0 accomplished this goal. You can literally sit down and read The Dracula Book Test 2.0 just like any normal book, and you’ll never discover the gaff that’s cleverly hidden inside its pages.

Here’s the effect: Choose a spectator to help you out. There is no funny business here. You can feel free to choose anyone to help. Hand Dracula over to them. They can feel free to flip through it, pass it around, or otherwise have it examined. It looks like any other ordinary book! It even comes with its own ISBN!

Ask your spectator to flip the book and stop on any page. They can change page numbers if they want, but once they’ve committed to a page number, you are immediately able to call out the first word on that page!

First released in 2009, the Dracula Book Test 2.0 and the performance notes provided with the product were inspired by principles and concepts developed by Larry Becker, Richard Osterlind, James L. Clark, Josh Zandman, Banachek, Dick Christian, and others.
