Josh Zandman – Impromptu Book Test

Any two books are freely chosen. You never see or handle them until the participant puts one in your hand. This can be done anywhere anytime with anyone. In fact it has been! When IBT was first being developed one of our friends performed it in a book store for someone. The result was so powerful being able to pick any two books from anywhere in the store that the participant was visibly shaken!

There is no pre-work no set-up no instant stooges no gaffed books you don’t have to be a speed reader she gets to make a totally free choice and after a suitable build up you instantly reveal the word!

“Watch It!” Again completely impromptu! Josh Zandman applies his IBT principles with two borrowed watches. You and a participant each select a time on a watch and write it down. The watches are switched and the process repeated. Your times match. Twice. So strong and yet so easy to perform!
