Max Maven's Exploring the Zone and The Da Vinci Zone

Let a spectator open a copy of The Da Vinci Code and reveal the first word, another word on the first line, or the concept of that entire line. Created by Todd Karr for mentalists, book-test performers, and stage or parlor magicians, The Da Vinci Zone makes a familiar book the focus of a direct, high-impact moment.

• Three revelation options: Name the first word, another word on the first line, or the line’s overall concept.
• Spectator-selected pages: The spectator can open a copy at home or one picked up while browsing a bookstore.
• Ungimmicked book: The book can be left with the spectator after the routine.
• Gimmick and illustrated manual: The custom-made cueing gimmicks come with the revised second edition of Max Maven’s Exploring the Zone, a 16-page, large-format manual with presentation-technique illustrations.
• Book-test guidance: Maven discusses audience handling, page selection, word choices, forces, process mentalism, and more; bonus effects and routines are also included.
