The British Institute of Parapsychology Book Test – BIP Book

A compact book test that allows you to reveal multiple thoughts from one or even five observers without complex techniques. The British Institute of Parapsychology Book Test, better known as the BIP Book, is back and ready to reclaim a permanent place in the repertoire of mentalists.

Peter Nardi has been using the BIP Book during professional performances for nearly twenty years. From walk-around and table magic to parlor and stand-up shows, the little book enables a particularly powerful demonstration of seemingly pure mind reading.

The BIP Book deliberately does not look like a magic prop. It is designed as if it were compiled by a scientist from the British Institute of Parapsychology for research into ESP and paranormal phenomena. No glossy finish or flashy graphics, but a simple and credible research booklet.

What is happening?

You give a spectator a small, official-looking booklet. Every page is filled with various information: words, times, colored shapes, and random numbers from 10 to 999.

Subsequently, different participants can each choose or remember something different.

A first participant opens the book to a random page and looks at a number. This determines a country. The participant then thinks of the country, the capital, and even a well-known landmark.

A second person remembers a word and freely associates it with one of the objects at the back of the book.

Other participants can think of two shapes and their colors, a two- or three-digit number, and even a specific time.

From that moment on, you don't have to touch the book anymore.

Yet you are able to reveal the participants' thoughts one by one. You can announce the country, the landmark, the word, the object, the shapes, colors, the number, and the time.

You can state the information directly, draw it, or even predict it in advance.

One to five participants

A major advantage of the BIP Book is its enormous flexibility. You can perform a quick routine for one person, but also involve multiple spectators at the same time and thus create a larger demonstration of mind reading.

This makes the system suitable for virtually any professional situation: from a small group during a walk-around to a larger audience during a parlor or stand-up show.

And despite all the possibilities, the complete booklet simply fits in your breast pocket.
