Your volunteers will truly have a free choice of any word in the book. So your audience is left to guess that the method involves some kind of tricky book (.and, of course, they'll be right). but none of them have titles that your audience has ever heard of, let alone read. And there are a bunch of fantastic book tests out there that use crooked books. Forcing a word selection adds so many steps that your audience quickly becomes suspicious of just how "free" this word selection is.
Here's the flaw with every other book test out there: if you want to divine a word selected from a book, you either need a crooked way to force someone's word selection, or you need a crooked book.
And that's just one of the three separate effects built into these books. And yet the performer would be able to figure out almost instantly what their secret selected word is. The books could be examined before the performance, and then your volunteer could have a truly free selection of any word from any page in any book. what would the perfect book test look like? It would use multiple, well-known bestsellers to choose from. Six years in the making, and (until now) performed by only a dozen mentalists worldwide.
