Celebrity Presage (FR)
At last, the Svenpad® Celebrity Presage, in French, at Magic Dream!
Born from meticulous work between Brett Barry and our teams, we sincerely believe this is one of the most original book tests published for the magic community in a decade!
In fact, this completely realistic pocket book of celebrity quotes and stories uses an ingenious secret method, the perfect page-numbering system and a new fiendish forcing system. Combined with our incredibly precise manufacturing (pages cut to 8/10 of a mm), you'll hold in your hands a book test like no other…
The original Celebrity Presage was ingeniously created in 2011 by the magician Mike Maione, and has now been completely reworked into one of the finest book tests in its category. The handling has been greatly improved, as well as all the new routines possible with the book.
Our system allows the book's page numbers to be displayed sequentially, from front to back, while letting the magician cleanly force ANY page in real time. When you see it, you'll be blown away!
In fact, the Celebrity Presage book offers multiple forcing methods, multiple reveals and a "V" forcing gimmick that we created from scratch to allow maximum flexibility. Celebrity Presage is a book test with several forcing methods that can be used together (or individually) for predictions or mind reading. The book itself is filled with hilarious celebrity quotes and comedy possibilities just from reading them!
For the first time, the creator of the application Marc Kerstein has exclusively and generously allowed the use of all the force words from his popular "WikiTest" in Celebrity Presage. This exciting addition means that WikiTest users will be ready to use Celebrity Presage quickly, with no additional memorization.
New book-test ideas are as rare as a 1950s Ford Mystere, and the PPNS system of Celebrity Presage is exciting — especially combined with the other built-in methods. This book is the result of a collaboration between magician Mike Maione and Brett Barry, with many powerful tweaks to add even more impact to your presentations!

What the pros say:
"I love mentalism products that take a step forward. Celebrity Presage is a giant leap! Any one of the 3 principles included here would have made this book test one of my favorites on the market, but the three combined deliver a crazy result! This book is incredible. It took me 5 seconds to know this is a new standard. I'm not kidding."
— Bedros "Spidey" Akkelian
"A book test like no other! Mike and Brett have created a masterpiece. Plus, the addition of the V-Gimmick really makes this book a very powerful tool in the SvenPad® family!"
— Luca Volpe
"WOW! You've outdone yourselves. The combination of possibilities, with both predictions (without the need for multiple outs) and direct mind reading, looks like nothing I've ever seen. At last, a book test that can be used multiple times on the same group with 100% accuracy! I can confidently predict this is a routine everyone will do. I'll take two!"
— Mikael Hedné
"After using it for several weeks in front of real spectators, I can promise you'll astonish your audience with Celebrity Presage! It's brilliant and I highly recommend it."
— Sven Rygh
"Wow! I was lucky to receive an early copy of Celebrity Presage and I'm completely blown away. The Svenpad principle and, more importantly, the book test as a whole reach a whole new level. The numbering system is simply brilliant and there is so much more."
— Paul Martin
"Celebrity Presage is the kind of fun book you'd pick for a book test! The theme is modern, fun celebrity quotes — a change from the heavy novels no one has ever heard of. Add a brilliant page-numbering system and the WikiTest MOABT words and you have a perfect product."
— John Morton
"Folks, this one's wild. I got lucky and got an early copy. The principle is literally invisible, even up close. And the way you can freely flip through an apparently normal book while forcing the pages you want is brilliant. But the icing on the cake is the clever page-numbering system. And then, the WikiTest words! It's a stroke of genius. You can ask for any page number and when they open to that number, boom, there's your force page waiting."
— Christopher Hurst
"A wonderfully natural and devastating selection process, that couldn't be fairer. And it's so much fun! Really, really clever!"
— Steve Valentine
"I'm still playing with the Celebrity Presage book, and I'm slowly starting to hate you more and more because you're geniuses. I looked at the edges of the pages under a magnifier, and the cuts are so fine and precise (with the perfect paper you chose for the book) that it simply blew me away. And that's BEFORE I even start talking about the inherent brilliance of this book."
— Paul Shirley
"Celebrity Presage really is a game-changer. Several unprecedented principles are combined to deliver a unique presentation that is a true multiphase powerhouse. Three people (or more) can look at the book, think of completely different things, and then, without asking a single question, the magician can reveal (or predict) a plethora of words, people, films, music, etc. simply thought of."
— Gabe Abelson
"There are many principles at work. Not only can you reveal a celebrity, but you can also reveal a movie or ANY long word they're thinking of on their page. Brett miraculously received Marc Kerstein's permission to incorporate the long words used in Wiki-Test! So if you've memorized the list for Wiki-Test, you'll have absolutely nothing new to memorize for Celebrity Presage. Overall, this book test far exceeds my expectations. It is high quality, designed for professionals, but easy enough for a beginner."
