An Unprecedented Level of Freedom and Certainty
Your participant's freedom of choice is truly remarkable. They can select any page - left or right - any column, and then *any* word within that chosen column. The beauty of 'Flictionary' lies in its subtlety: you'll know their word with absolute 100% certainty, often even before they consciously register it themselves. There's no need to ask for page numbers or any specific letters. This creates a deeply personal and impossible moment for your audience, leaving them utterly bewildered by your mind-reading abilities, without you ever breaking a sweat or needing to write anything down.
Engineered for Simplicity and Deception
Forget the cumbersome methods often associated with book tests. 'Flictionary' is ingeniously designed to eliminate common mentalism techniques; there's no memory work to master, nothing is ever written down, and it avoids any reliance on 'PS, IS, or DR' principles. Its deceptive nature is widely praised by top mentalists like Marc Spelmann and Ken Dyne, who laud its innovative approach and natural appearance. It truly looks, feels, and acts exactly like a regular dictionary, making it the most logical and justifiable prop in your arsenal. This digital download provides the comprehensive online instructions to master this incredible effect, revealing all the secrets behind its clever construction. Please note: the gimmicked book itself is NOT included with this purchase, only the detailed video instructions to perform 'Flictionary'. Learn the principles to make this powerful mentalism tool your own, and elevate your performances to extraordinary new heights. Its versatility allows for use in close-up, parlor, or stage environments, and it's even repeatable for multiple audiences and different words, ensuring endless possibilities.
Why 'Flictionary' Stands Apart
What sets 'Flictionary' apart is its brilliant integration of classic principles in a fresh, natural, and incredibly devious manner. It's truly a utility tool that transcends the label of a mere book test, opening up a plethora of routine possibilities. Top professionals attest to its power and deceptive simplicity, making it a staple in their professional sets. As Michael Murray suggests, spectators will use words like 'incredible' and 'astonishing' after witnessing it. Prepare to leave your audience astonished, amazed, and searching for words to describe their experience - perhaps even in a dictionary.

Check out some of the early feedback below…
“The most logical book test would be that of a dictionary, but anyone who has attempted this, myself included, understands why this is a challenge. Steve has met this challenge head on and won. You never have to justify a dictionary, it serves a purpose. Flictionary is brilliantly thought out and will be part of my performances.”
– Marc Spelmann
“Flictionary is absolutely beautifully produced, and is one of the most innovative approaches to the book test plot in years.”
– Ken Dyne
“This spent five minutes in the hands of two experienced magicians and I kept expecting them to stumble upon how it worked. They never did. It is as deceptive as it is simple.”
– Atlas Brookings
“Flictionary is a wonderful utility which takes some classic principles but integrates them in such a way that it creates a very natural but extremely devious book test. I love mine!”
– Looch
“If you were to look up the word, ‘incredible,’ in a dictionary, you would find the following definition -impossible, astonishing, astounding, breathtaking, phenomenal, extraordinary, wonderful, marvelous, spectacular, remarkable, miraculous and sublime. Coincidentally, these are also the precise words that your spectators will use after witnessing Steve Haresign’s Flictionary book test!”
– Michael Murray
“For me, Flictionary is a tool that far exceeds the label, ‘book test.’ A freely chosen word from 1,800 genuinely different entries, combined with its versatility and innocent looks means its applications are nearly endless. Use one or multiple participants, on stage, parlour or close-up, and it’s repeatable. If it must be labeled a book test, surely it has to be the mf of all book tests!”
– Darren Woolf
“This is something I always have with me! If you are looking for a great book test, look no further!”
– Luca Volpe
“Simply brilliant. Innocent in its appearance, and simple in its execution. A killer combination of characteristics that all effects should try to emulate. Sublime is all I can say.”

– Mick Wilson
“This is a dictionary. ’nuff said. That is the best compliment I could give any prop. It looks and feels as a dictionary should but gives you so much more. It’s versatile, fair, devious, and easy. Above all it’s got the Haresign quality through and through that we’ve come to know and love.”
– Raven Gairloch
