In performance, the participant stops at any page of their choice when they get the feeling to stop. Light is introduced via a UV pen. When passed over the page, a hidden message appears exactly where they chose to stop: He finds you in the darkness. To dispel suspicion, you show there are no other secret writings, sweeping the torch across the other pages they could have stopped on, which remain clean. The message was only ever waiting for them. THE OPEN STUDY WINDOW? In the original 1984 printing of House of Hell, an image depicting a cultist about to make a sacrificial offering of a bound woman was banned from subsequent issues. The eerie thing is, owners of the first edition claimed the image changed over time. Some said the victim's face became more agonised, others that the cultist's mask came away, revealing something more monstrous. A handful of readers claimed that the illustration was so bizarre that they were forced to rip it out after suffering waking nightmares. Later editions quietly replaced the picture with something generic. No explanation was ever given, but those who saw the original believed it was never just a drawing. It was an invocation. In performance, an envelope is placed in the book as a marker. Several people are shown the page and see nothing too unusual, but one participant clearly sees the banned illustration. When the book is opened again, the page is gone, torn out. You then produce it from the envelope, your pocket, or anywhere you wish. The book can be freely handled, and there is nothing for them to find. BONUS EFFECT Inspired by how the original book was formatted, I have included a tossed out book effect. I have taken something from the original and added another principle to create an extra layer of deception. PERFORMER'S EDITION? Built for workers. It looks and feels like a real game book, because it is, yet it's robust enough for your gig bag or jacket pocket and is ready for miracles at a moment's notice. Each copy also includes a matte laminated bookmark.
