The Shakespeare Experiment (Complete Works of William Shakespeare Book) Author: Miracle Factory Average Rating: Category: Mentalism Media Type: Trick Date Added: Jan 15th, 2009 Retail Price: $300.00 Manufacturer's Description: Perhaps the finest mind reading book effect ever printed. It's the ultimate luxury in mentalism. Effect "A book test with The Complete Works of Shakespeare, you say? Verily. Instead of being Much Ado About Nothing, here is an approach which demands the performer use a book - and what a book it is.

If you are looking for a beautiful object, a powerful effect and a "novel" method, you will find this very special book to be As You Like It."
