Whacked Book Test by Mark Elsdon

The performer introduces a book, "Dave Gorman's Googlewhack Adventure", which he says he has enjoyed reading recently. After briefly explaining the concept of 'Googlewhacking', he passes the book to a member of the audience, who looks through the book and eventually decides on one of the 'Googlewhacks'. After some typically funny byplay and a couple of false starts, the performer gets serious and tries a proper test. He detects subtle inflections in the participant's voice and is able to discern specifically which letters the participant is thinking about and consequently the exact words which comprise his chosen 'Googlewhack'. The participant is allowed to keep the book as a gift and a souvenir.So what exactly is 'Whacked!'? It is a 10 minute mind-reading routine which revolves around Dave Gorman's best-selling book "Googlewhack Adventure".
