A subject randomly selects a page and remembers the page number. From here on the mentalist doesn’t touch the book again! The subject notes a word or sentence on the chosen page.
The mentalist correctly reveals the thought words, but goes on to state that he actually put the thought of that particular page in the subject’s mind! He claims the chosen page was torn from the book before the show. The subject opens the book and searches for the page. IT’S BEEN TORN OUT! The mentalist turns everyone’s attention to and envelope that’s been in full view throughout. In side is the missing page, and it fits the tear in the book precisely!
