Has this Existed before?

You're either an complete buffoon or a spammer trying to get through the filters before posting your advertising links. No one that's been around magic and more particularly Mentalism for more than a month, would ask that question.
To Anwer it However... there are at least 100+ ways of pulling it off. Corinda will give you at least a solid dozen of them, if not more.
The idea in general is known as a "book test." Yes, it has existed before - It's one of the few mentalism plots I do.
EDIT: Seems Mr. Craig Browning beat me to it, he'll be of more help than I when it comes to mentalism.

When it comes to Mentalism Enzo, Craig is one of our top members here. I'd listen to him. As for his critique, I agree. You're either really young, really new, or really a spammer/ troll. Two of the three aren't bad things, as they will correct themselves in time. If you're a spammer/ troll there isn't much any of us can do to help you.
To answer your already answered question, yes. It's a book test, as pointed out above. You'll want to get a book called 13 steps to mentalism. It's got everything you'll need.

Oh... wait... so you mean I don't need to sacrafice a small child to cleanse myself of the mistake with it's blood to atone for my sin?

Spectator holds the book and turns to any page and thinks of any word. Then closes the book.
It's that clean.

Hah, my bad! I meant that you should've saved it for a possible New Years Show you would do (seems like a good closer), but I managed to mess up the sentence when I started with the "if I were you". I blame my non-english speaking heritage.
Why give someone the name of a rather noted product when it's obvious they haven't even read Annemann, let alone Corinda?
This is one of the reasons Magic, as a whole, is going to hell in a handbasket, those involved aren't protecting it they are giving it away... and yes, this kind of post in a thread that has seriously dressed down the original poster, paints you in that light. I'm sorry if you take that critique in a harsh light but it's something that we all need to consider; you simply don't give away information to people who are obviously unread, disconnected and TO FREAK'N LAZY to do the most moderate of footwork to learn.
If someone is too lazy to do the footwork, what level of entertainer do you think they will be?
Show biz, even for the hobbyist, is a tuff job; one of the most difficult vocations anyone can love. . . and I can assure you, she will grind you under heel, even when it seems to come easy at first.
And Do Understand... I'm not singling you out when I say this, you just happened to be the one that made the post that serves as a perfect example of what not to do if we are to get back to preserving Magic... all of it! It really is dependent on SECRETS, so guard them!
