The British Institute of Parapsychology Book Test

“The BIP Book has been part of my repertoire for almost 20 years, and it makes an appearance at every single performance. Whether I’m performing mix-and-mingle at a cocktail reception, close-up at tables, or even using it as a tossed-out-deck style routine in a stand-up show — this little book never fails to deliver. It has the power to blow minds with a demonstration of undeniably clean mind reading!”
— Peter Nardi

"If it was any cleaner, the pages would be blank. Brilliant Idea, Perfect."
— Wayne Dobson

This custom-manufactured book is destined to become a powerhouse in your working repertoire. Whether you perform walk-around, table-hopping, parlour, or even stage, this innocent-looking prop delivers mind-blowing moments that will stay with your spectators forever.

Here’s what happens:

You hand out a small, official-looking book from the British Institute of Parapsychology. Every page is filled with different pieces of information — words, times, coloured shapes, and random numbers between 10 and 999.

• Participant 1 opens to any page and looks at a number. That number leads them to select a country from the front of the book. They think of the country, its capital, and even a famous landmark.

• Participant 2 turns to another page, remembers a word, and then free-associates it with one of the objects listed in the back.

• Participant 3 notes two shapes and their colours.

• Participant 4 locks in on a 2- or 3-digit number.

• Participant 5 remembers a time.

Now, without ever touching the book again, you are able to reveal every single thought — the country, the landmark, the word, the object, the shapes, the colours, the number, and even the time. You can name them, draw them, or even predict them in advance.

It plays just as strongly for one person as it does for five at once — and yet the entire book slips neatly into your shirt pocket.

Why performers love it:

• Instantly learnable — you’ll be performing it within minutes.

• No peeks, sleights, cribs, or memory work required.

• Performable even if you’re across the room when the choices are made.

• Spectators handle the book completely — you never need to take it back.

• A perfect companion to Director’s Cut and Cataclysm.

The options are limitless. The impact is unforgettable.
