The most loved novel in the English language, and the least suspicious book you could put on a table. Your spectator chooses any page and any line from a complete 344-page edition. You never go near it.

Any page. Any line. Their word on your watch.

Ask for a page. Ask for a line. They count down and lock the word in their head. You already have it: page 112, line 15 is “Engaged”, and it was on your wrist while they were still counting.

How it works

• Your spectator freely names any page and any line. No force, no limited choice, no restrictions.
• You enter the numbers on your phone’s keypad, or silently in your pocket with the AR Pro-Remote (coming soon).
• There is no send key. The answer fires the moment the entry is complete, and a wrong digit tells you at once.
• The word appears on your phone and on your Galaxy Watch, followed by the page and line so you can confirm it.
• If the line they chose has no word that fits your rule, the app moves to the next one and tells you, so you can steer them there without counting a thing.
• Chapter headings don’t count as lines. Every other printed line of text does, exactly the way a spectator counts.

Make it yours

• Choose your word rule: first word of 6 or more letters, first word, last word, or longest word.
• Have InkSight print the word on a slip, so the prediction is already written when they finish counting.
• Trigger another Arcane Relics prop at the moment of the reveal.
• Add your own notes to the reveal.
• Dim the watch to a deep red at 5% brightness, or black it out, so a glance at your wrist is just someone checking the time.

The book

The complete novel in a clean classic edition, with Hugh Thomson’s 1894 ballroom drawing on the cover. It is a complete, normal-looking edition of the novel, and nothing in it but the novel: no marks, no codes, no lists at the back. Hand it out, leave it on a shelf, let them keep it.

• Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, complete text
• 6 x 9 inch paperback, 344 pages
• Typeset by us, so the app knows every word on every line of this edition
