Magic Video - Chris Philpott - Odyssey (Digital Download)

Chris Philpott's 'Odyssey' isn't just a prop; it's a meticulously crafted gateway to revolutionary mentalism. Billed as the ultimate evolution of Philpott's groundbreaking '100th Monkey' concepts, 'Odyssey' presents itself as a stunning, high-end travel magazine, yet it's stealthily loaded with over ten diverse and entertaining mental destinations. This isn't a flimsy gimmick; designed by professional graphic designer Jules Philpott, it features 108 glossy, 100-pound paper pages and a laminated cover, making it indistinguishable from a genuine Condé Nast publication you'd find in a luxury hotel lobby.

Unleash Unforgettable Mentalism

Imagine taking away someone's ability to read, making them feel 'drunk' just by reading names of drinks. Or performing a book test so realistic, it sets a new standard for the art. With 'Odyssey', you can reveal a thought-of word using randomly selected Scrabble tiles, help a spectator realize their dream vacation, or even enable one person to seemingly read another's mind. The magazine cleverly integrates powerful routines like Arthur Emerson's 'Pegasus Page' and Chris Philpott's own emotionally resonant 'Unhypnotized' from 'Narcissus'. You'll also discover a secret vision tester and effects that describe thought-of pictures or help a tense individual relax.

Designed for Deception, Built for Realism

Every detail of 'Odyssey' screams authenticity. The articles on Tokyo, Luxor, Bali, and Ibiza are genuinely about those exotic locations, adding layers of believability to your performances. This seamless integration of real content with hidden magical elements ensures that the magazine never looks suspicious, even under intense scrutiny. This realism is what makes the effects so devastatingly effective, allowing for organic presentations that captivate any audience, from intimate close-up settings to larger stage performances.

Master the Miracles

To ensure you maximize the potential of this incredible tool, 'Odyssey' comes complete with a comprehensive 2-hour training video. This detailed instruction covers every routine, nuance, and presentational tip, empowering you to perform each effect with confidence and impact. Whether you're a seasoned mentalist looking for fresh, powerful material or an aspiring performer ready to elevate your act, 'Odyssey' provides an unparalleled collection of miracles housed within an everyday object. Esteemed performers like Banachek, Shawn Farquhar, and Brett Barry have hailed it as 'brilliant,' 'incredible,' and 'absolutely perfect,' cementing its place as an essential weapon in any magician's arsenal.
