For fun, here's the ad copy:

Have you ever performed a gaffed book test and had someone yell 'DO IT WITH MY BOOK!'?

Well now you can, with Steve Valentine's BOOKED!

On this DVD Steve shares his closely guarded secrets, honed through thousands of real world performances. You not only tell them the WORD they are thinking of, YOU PREDICT IT! ANYWHERE, ANYTIME and with ANY BOOK.

As a Bonus Steve reveals his extreme variations on the 'Pegasus Page' plot. Including the ultimate version where a freely chosen and SIGNED page is found RIPPED from a book and stuck to the OUTSIDE of a window. And the best part, you can give them the BOOK and PAGE to keep as a souvenir.

It doesn't get any better than this. THESE ARE FORMIDABLE, 100% COMMERCIAL MIRACLES.

"I've been running the lectures at the Magic Castle for over 30 years. This is by far the greatest book test I've ever seen, and I've seen them all".
- Lee Delano, Magic Castle, Hollywood

A real 'worker' from someone who has obviously performed this gem for years in his own shows. Highly, highly recommended."
- Chipper Lowell

"I saw this done by Steve, 15 or more years ago and I remembered it to this day. I'm shelving my other book tests! The wait has been long and I applaud Steve for finally opening his vault to release this. BOOKED is a winner!"
- Joe Monti

  • 8 BOOKED - GAFF TIPS

    Important tips on all these gaffs.

  • 9 BOOKED - MAKING THE Z GIMMICK

    My Z- Gimmick design for BOOKED is so underused, which is a shame, as it enables some really strong, powerful Mentalism and instant repetition.

    Of course, understanding how to make the gaff is key. That’s what this video is all about :)

  • 10 BOOKED - LOADING THE GAFF

    Being able to ring in the BOOKED gaff at the right time is integral to a smooth presentation, this video is all about THAT!

  • 11 BOOKED - SELECTING THE PAGE

    Here, we discuss various techniques for selecting the page, or at least making it SEEM that the selection is fair.

  • 12 BOOKED - PREDICTIONS

    The problem with having such a cool way to force words is finding an equally cool way to reveal the prediction. here are some techniques from my past performances, and some very cool ideas to hopefully inspire your presentation.

  • 13 BOOKED SAVAGE TITUBA

    Here’s is one of the main routines for BOOKED. It’s a brilliant presentation, because basically it’s ANNEMANN’S. It has been pointed out to me by one of our wonderfully smart members that the story is not historically accurate. If that concerns you within your performance please feel free to do ...

  • 14 BOOKED - TITUBA ON THE FLY

    What if the airline loses your props and gimmicks, can you quickly fix it? Can you do it with a borrowed book? Yes, the answer is YES :) Here is how you do it.

  • 15 BOOKED - THOUGHTS ON BOOK TESTS

    Like you, I’ve owned and performed a LOT of book tests. Like you, I have thoughts on how they should, or rather, could be performed, in this video I share some of the most important - to me - ideas.

  • 16 BOOKED - MORE TITUBA

    Oooo this is a cool way of creating a different, interactive and surreal ending for the routine...

  • 17 BOOKED - TITUBA IN MY WALLET

    Truth be told, this has to be one of the most overlooked versions in the entire collection, and it’s my personal favorite. I don’t think anyone has ever published a version of the Pegasus page plot, where the page is SIGNED. Yes, signed... think about that.

    This is reputation making stuff and th...

  • 18 BOOKED - A BRILLIANT WALLET VARIATION

    To me, this is the golden Easter egg within the entire BOOKED project.

    No one has ever, to my knowledge, worked out a routine like this with a SIGNED PEGASUS PAGE. This is a mind blowing addition to the plot.

  • 19 BOOKED - ON ICE

    How to take the SIGNED PAGE concept and kick it up to a level that your audience will be talking about for a very long time...

  • 20 BOOKED - HARDCORE

    NOT FOR WIMPS! This is the method that Tom Stone chose for his amazing Book and Drawer box routine.

    HARDCORE uses the same ideas that we've been learning, but now... takes away the playing card.

    The audience sees just you and the book...

  • 21 BOOKED - HARDCORE EXPANDED

    Not satisfied with the single effect from Hardcore, I’ve applied some known techniques, and a brand new one, to expand the routine into a THREE word mental miracle.

    PLUS I’ll tip how to end CLEAN!

    YOU. ARE WELCOME. :)

  • 22 BOOKED - HARDCORE BONUS HANDLING

    Truth in advertising, a bonus handling that you just might like... :)

  • 23 BOOKED - HARD TITUBA

    What happens if we combine the methods within Hardcore with the Annemann 'Tituba' plot..?

    If you had any doubts on the power and practicality of the Hardcore technique, this will sway you!

  • 24 BOOKED - THE BIG SECRET

    Finally, the last word. This is really the big secret for Booked, to be prepared for any possibility.

    That you for watching all the videos on the Booked project, Booked 2.0, handling and an extra killer routine, coming very soon

    cheers
