Could you re-write this with roughly the same word count. - This was the first book in the English language to move away from simply exposing the secrets of tricks towards truly explaining how to perform them. With in-depth descriptions of card and coin tricks, mechanical apparatus and stage illusions, it became an instant success and spawned a slew of similar books from rival publishers.

Before the show begins a spectator is asked to merely think of any word from either side of a large broadsheet from the local daily newspaper. She has a free choice of literally hundreds or possibly thousands of words. After mentally selecting a word the performer seals the newspaper in an envelope and the spectator takes it with her back to her seat. During the show the performer asks for the envelope from the spectator tears it open and removes the newspaper. The performer explains that the spectator is concentrating on a word from somewhere on the paper and it will be the audience's job to find that very word. As impossible as it may seem. Tearing the newspaper into two pieces the performer asks a random audience member to choose either half to discard. The choice is made and the performer tears the remaining piece in half and asks another audience member to select a half to discard. The selection is made and the performer again tears the remaining piece in half asking an audience member to select either half to toss away, yet again. Left with a piece about four inches square the performer calls on a final helper from the audience to join him on stage. This spectator is asked to close his eyes and raise a finger and to drop it somewhere on the piece of paper. The spectator does this and is asked to open his eyes and without saying a thing to remember the word that he pointed to. The spectator is then handed a white board and marking pen, and asked to write the word in big bold letters on the board and keep it concealed from the audience's view. While he is doing this the performer engages the original spectator thinking of a word and asks her to stand and for the first time call out her mentally thought of word in a loud voice. She states her word is, for example, "Flytrap!" The performer asks the spectator with the white board to turn the board around and show everyone the word he pointed to...it is also "Flytrap!" Rewrite this please. Same word count roughly.

Before the show begins, a spectator is invited to silently choose any word from either side of a large broadsheet of a local newspaper. With hundreds or even thousands of options, her selection is entirely free. Once she has mentally chosen a word, the performer seals the newspaper inside an envelope, which the spectator takes back to her seat. Later in the show, the performer retrieves the envelope, tears it open, and removes the newspaper, explaining that the audience will attempt the impossible—finding the word she is concentrating on.
The performer rips the newspaper in half and asks a random audience member to select one half to discard. The process repeats, with another participant choosing which half to eliminate, followed by another selection, until only a small four-inch-square piece remains. The performer then invites a final audience member on stage. With eyes closed, this volunteer raises a finger and randomly drops it onto the remaining newspaper fragment. He is asked to open his eyes, silently note the word he landed on, and write it in bold letters on a concealed whiteboard.
As he does this, the performer turns to the original spectator and asks her to stand and, for the first time, loudly announce the word she had merely thought of. She declares, for example, "Flytrap!" The performer then directs the onstage volunteer to reveal the whiteboard to the audience. Incredibly, the word he randomly pointed to is also "Flytrap!"
The sale also includes some of he particular easy-to-source props you will need.
