“Stab in the Dark is a shocking, visual effect, accomplished by a clever, fooling method. It’s totally self-contained and the book can be used over and over again. A killer ending to ANY booktest routine. Love it! Although I still prefer Alex’s original title… Sliterary. Haha!” – Mark Elsdon
“This effect is very strong, different and dynamic which is what mentalism needs.”– Jon Armstrong
The most shocking book test ever.
1. A page is freely chosen from a book (every page is shown to be different)
2. A sharp knife is shockingly pushed through the book.
3. The knife is pulled straight down, cutting through every single page… except one!! Impossibly the page your audience thought of is clearly seen impaled on the knife!!! They can keep the page and everything can be easily reset in a few seconds.
This is an effect we guarantee your audiences will never forget.
Stab In The Dark is not only memorable and theatrical, it’s incredibly practical. You don’t need a new book for every performance because the devilishly clever construction of this gimmick makes it reusable! Stab In The Dark requires no sleight of hand, and you can use any knife you want because the book does all of the work. Alex teaches not just his stage routine, but also close-up performance routines as well. This effect can slot into almost any performer’s show. Your audience isn’t prepared for what they are about to see when you take a Stab In The Dark by Alex Latorre.
This kit includes everything you need to perform Stab In The Dark 50 times (the chosen pages which you can give away, as well as the secret something that makes it all work!).
