Description & Effect
Relive Childhood Magic with 'Nostalgia'
Step back in time and instantly captivate your audience with 'Nostalgia' by Michel Huot, the brilliant mind behind acclaimed routines like 'Priceless' and 'SOCKS'. This unique digital download offers a refreshing take on mentalism, transforming a beloved childhood artifact—the View-Master—into a powerful and profoundly entertaining magical prop. From the moment you introduce this iconic item, a wave of recognition and warmth will sweep through your audience, bridging generational gaps and creating an immediate, personal connection. Even millennials, who may have missed its heyday, will appreciate the vintage charm.
The Unforgettable Effect
Imagine this: you present several View-Master reels for examination. A spectator freely chooses one, inserts it into the View-Master, and, keeping it hidden behind their back, randomly selects a single image. They concentrate on this image, holding it firmly in their mind. With nothing more than a notepad and pencil, you, the magician, astonishingly draw or reveal the exact image they're thinking of! This isn't just a trick; it's a 'book test' cleverly disguised as a journey down memory lane, designed for maximum fun and wonder. This 5-minute stand-up routine is engaging, direct, and leaves a lasting impression.

Original Specs
Take a trip down memory lane with this unique and fun routine from the creator of Priceless and SOCKS. As soon as you will take out the ViewMaster the audience will connect with it! (yes even the millennials!)
Here is what happens in this 5-minute stand-up effect.
The magician shows and hands out some reels to be examined.
A spectator chooses one and pops it in the Viewmaster. He then puts everything behind his back and chooses one image randomly. He then looks at this image and keeps it in mind. The magician takes a notepad and draws the exact image the spectator is thinking of.
This is basically a booktest done with a Viewmaster. Magic (or mentalism) should be fun! That routine is exactly that...FUN!
Here is what they have to say
"Bringing back nostalgic classics from the 90s seems to be a huge trend these days. Hollywood classics are being brought back both on television and the big screen. What Michel has done here is both very trendy and deeply nostalgic. Using a prop that reminds us all of our childhood gives it an extremely innocent feel, it is however anything but innocent. A clever method, an entertaining routine and a very engaging presentation from one of the best in the business!"
