Mentalist Keith Barry performs a trick with a book, for anyone who watched and since I posted this on a message board I’ll put how he did it right after this. Matisyahu performs.


How the mentalist did the trick:

There are two page 91s in the book, one where it belongs chronologically which was ripped out and one towards the back of the book. The book is made so that when the guy flips through the pages it will always stop at the page 91 towards the back of the book. Then when Conan looks through the book for page 91 he's a lot more likely to find the ripped out one where its supposed to be chronologically.

You can see the book is rigged to stop at page 91 because when he flips through the book quickly in the beginning to show the camera that the pages are different you can see the pages continuously flip until he gets to page 93 and then he lets them continuously flip some more. I probably saw page 93 because he allowed one more page to flip over and my eyes are too slow to see page 91 for the split second.
