Babel Book Test 2 by Vincent Hedan (Before dawn), medium, 400 pages Babel Book Test by Vincent Hedan is a professional and highly versatile book test system that allows you to present powerful demonstrations of mind reading using books that appear completely ordinary. You do not need to touch the book or even look inside it, yet you can reveal the spectator's thoughts in seemingly impossible ways. The Babel collection has been developed around a particularly clever concept: several novels can look completely different while secretly being constructed around the same system. This means a spectator can freely choose between different Babel books without affecting your possibilities as a performer. Whichever Babel book is selected, you can work with the same principles and effects.

The effect and experience

The system allows you to perform both divination and memory demonstrations and can be used for close-up as well as stage performances. The material can also be presented with one or several participants, making Babel a flexible tool for a wide range of performing situations. The detailed 68-page instruction manual explains the system and its various possibilities. You also receive an 18-page bonus section featuring ideas contributed by other Babel users, exploring additional applications of the system - including effects that use multiple gimmicked books. In total, you will discover 10 effects covering 28 different principles and ideas .

Performance possibilities

The individual principles can be learned separately, making Babel suitable for performers who are new to book tests and want to develop their skills at their own pace. For the experienced mentalist, the system also provides the flexibility to combine favourite principles and construct a personalised routine tailored to the performer and the particular performance situation. One of the major strengths of the Babel system is the ability to choose between different books. You may prefer a thinner paperback for close-up work or a larger, thicker book when performing on stage. You can simply select the Babel book that best suits the situation without having to learn an entirely different system.

Details and use

If you own several books from the Babel collection, they can also be presented together, allowing the spectator to freely choose between them. Although the books appear different on the outside, their shared construction means you can still perform your chosen routine. Babel Book Test is therefore much more than a single effect. It is a comprehensive and flexible mentalism system that allows both newcomers and professional performers to develop powerful book test routines according to their own requirements.
