 Hey everybody, welcome back to magic orthodoxy. My name is David and this is a magic review Hey today, we're gonna look at word in a million from Nicholas Einhorn. What is word in a million? It is a book test. It is the quintessential book test This is the book test that I do whenever I want to do a book test. It's awesome It's amazing. It's exactly what a book test should look like you want to see what it looks like. This is it Paul, just take this book for me. Have a browse through it at your own leisure. Check all the words really are different When you're happy that it's a regular book. I want you to open it anywhere you like. I'll look away And then look at any word on any page that you like Tell me when you've done that Okay, now close the book please. Have you closed the book? Yeah. Okay. I'm going to turn back round You're thinking of just one word. I'm all right in the whole book thousands of words Um, I'll tell you what I'm going to get you to do so that you can't change it on me Oh, it's a scribble the word down write the word on this little I've put a little post-it note on here Write the word down. I'll look away again. Sure. Okay. If you wish you can show it to the camera It's up to you If you don't want to you don't have to tell me when you've written it down and I'll turn back round Look, I'll show it to the camera. That's all right. Okay. Tell me when Okay, I'm Right. I'll finish the camera. I want you to take that piece of paper off the book and hide it somewhere in your hand Or your pocket or anywhere you wish have you done that? Yep. I don't want to say I'm trying to see it or anything You see so you could have opened this book anywhere. You like you could have opened the book at page 111 Could have yeah, or you could have opened the page at 33 Did I ask you to look at the First word. No, did I mention you can only look at the last word? No Did I say that you had to add up so many lines and count in? No Did I say you'd only allowed long words or short words? No, you said any so you could have had any word in this book You could have opened it here and looked right there. Yeah Did I ask you if there's a c in it or a p in it or an f in it? No, nothing So how could I possibly know the word? You can't know the word. Well, I think I might know the word is the word furlong Yeah, that's unbelievable, isn't it? Yeah, that's any word in any book in any language. That is A word in a million. All right, so that was word in a million from nicklas ironhorn and jb Magic. Okay a couple questions. We always ask about all of our magic reviews The first of which is what is in the box? What's in the box? It's not really a box It's kind of like a flat cardboardy envelopey thing But it's going to give you a dvd dvd is only 12 minutes long and you're going to get the necessary gimmick To do the effect. Is it what I thought? You know what going into this? I really didn't know what to think Try to do some online research try to be sneaky about it. I thought I kind of figured it out I was kind of right So I'll just say yes and no it was kind of what I thought but uh, I still love it a lot This trick is based on a word in thousands by al-karan Which is an australian's new easy to master series. How are the angles the angles on this? Are flawless what you saw in the trailer? Is exactly how the trick goes like that was unedited uncut like did you? See that like those are your angles when I do this trick Um, I do it on stage and so actually last year I was in a stage show where I did this trick every single night. Okay, and so my advantage For the angles obviously was that I was up high and the audience was down low, but that's not necessary I think There's great angles on this I think it might work better if your audience is seated like if you're in a parlor and you're standing I think that might be great. I think that would definitely work to your advantage But it's not necessary at all. Can it be inspected? Yes and no because technically They already get to inspect it when you hand the book they could literally Do anything they want with the book at that point and of course They could turn to any page and so I think at that point They're already handling it, but they're not going to find anything. I think at the end if they say well, let me see that book again Then I think you might have some issue But I think for the most part you should dispel any of those fears the first time around When they literally get to hold the book in their hands What's the overall quality and production value of the dvd? Most of the dvd it looks like it was shot in a magic store Okay, and a lot of the dvd at least the first part is kind of like a trailer where you kind of just see them from The waist down you don't really see mark mason's head or or the other gentlemen There are some shots where mark is standing away from the camera and he does give you a full body shot I can't really tell if their microphone Doesn't really appear to be hd But you know it is what it is. It's very much like the old style of magic videos where It was just you know filmed at a magic shop and it was just two guys sitting on a table and saying all right This is how it works is the product well made. Okay When you get this in the mail And you open it up There is a chance especially if you're a little bit older like me There's a chance that you may have seen something like this before And then when you see it you're like, ah Okay, so and that's kind of going to work to your advantage because as with some book tests Uh, I think you want to put this in more than one book At least if you want to do an effect where maybe you had four books and you said hey pick a book And then you can We go back through the routine and say look, I let you pick any book in fact If you wanted to I think the utility is probably so inexpensive you could put one in every single Book that you had on an entire shelf You know you could say pick a book from my any book on my shelf and That in itself would blow people away and I think that because the utility is so non-obtrusive It won't hurt your books on your bookshelf at all like you could leave those books up there forever It would never hurt anything more often than not people would never find it Uh, those books will still be usable for you in your day-to-day life. So yeah, uh, it's really well made How much practice does it require zero? Zero How much setup and reset is there very little in fact you could do it in seconds Positives. All right. So what are the positives to word in a million just like mark mason says in the video any book? Any language? Okay, I get that question a lot Sometimes after I review a trick people will ask that question about language and they'll say, you know Will it work in french? Will it work in spanish? This will work in any language because you can use Any book and the great thing about this is this is what a book test should look like I've had tons of book tests every viewed book test on this channel before. Okay There's no math For you or the spectator There's no rolling invisible die and take two numbers and add them together You know, there's no find the you know top sentence and count down six And what's the first word on the sixth page? There's no piece of paper to hold that has a number and you match the number with the number that's in the book There's no complication when I do this on stage. I literally hand the book to somebody in the audience and walk away And I turn around with my back to them and I give them all the instruction Turn to any page you like find any word you like And that is true. They can find any word on any page in any book This is how a book test should look if you've been looking for the perfect book test. This is it All right, so what are the negatives the negatives to this are you don't own it And you should go buy it Because it's awesome. Is it worth your money easily? It's 20 bucks You're getting the dvd. You're getting the gimmick once you get the gimmick You're going to see how easy it is to put in multiple books Uh, like I said, if you're looking for the perfect book test, this is it. So yeah, it's worth your money We would like this mentalists people who do stage magic people who are looking for the perfect book test All right, so that is word in a million from nicolas einhorn and jb magic I purchased mine from penguin magic.com and you can too. Thanks. Bye
