The Baby Book is a mentalism prop created by John Morton, inspired by Stephen Young’sThe Visionary Version 2and the author’s daughter Eleanor’s early learning books. The core effect involves a spectator randomly opening a page; after the spectator calls out all 9 items (including the “big picture item”) listed on the page, the performer accurately identifies the “big picture item.”
The secret relies on a “metal content distinction”: the “big picture item” is uniquely differentiated by whether it contains metal—either it is the only item with metal or the only item without metal among the 9 items on the page.
Additional material includes Stephen Young’s alternative presentations, such as a multi-spectator variation based on Max Maven’sKurotsukeeffect. The creator acknowledges Stephen Young for method authorization and his daughter Eleanor for creative inspiration.
