Words by Luke Jermay
Step into the world of psychological influence with Words by Luke Jermay, a captivating performance that blends telemarketing techniques with the art of psychic readings. This unique act is designed to leave your audience in awe as they witness the power of words in action.
Effect
The performer begins by asking the audience if anyone has experience in telemarketing. Once a participant is selected, they are invited on stage. The performer then reveals a script, explaining:
“Telephone sales, much like psychic readings, revolve around a predetermined script designed to influence the person on the other end of the phone — whether the outcome happens to be the illusion of telling that person their future, or that an item is the best investment they can make. I have designed my own script that has a very specific outcome intended.”
The participant is handed the script and asked to call someone who will definitely answer. The performer humorously suggests, “I would recommend your least interesting friend or a baby sitter.”
As the participant reads the script, the performer holds up large boards to the audience, each revealing a different sentence:
- “Each word is designed to influence.”
- “The words we use can often say much more than we are actually saying.”
- “My script is designed to influence a choice. The choice of a number, shape, and a color.”
After the call, the participant retrieves an envelope from beneath their chair, containing a prediction that matches the color, shape, and number chosen during the conversation.

“Telephone sales, much like psychic readings, revolve around a predetermined script designed to influence the person on the other end of the phone — whether the outcome happens to be the illusion of telling that person their future, or that an item is the best investment they can make. I have designed my own script that has a very specific outcome intended.”
The performer hands the script to the spectator, who is asked to take a seat and to remove their cell phone. The performer ask them to call someone who will definitely be available and answer. The performer quips:
“I would recommend your least interesting friend or a baby sitter.”
Continuing on. the performer moves to the front of the stage and allows the spectator to read the script to whomever they happen to have called.
While the spectator does this, performer holds large boards up to the audience at large. Each board has a different sentence printed on it. The first board informs the audience:
“Each word is designed to influence.”
This board is dropped to the stage revealing another board explaining that:
“The words we use can often say much more than we are actually saying.”
This board is dropped to the floor and the next board says:
“My script is designed to influence a choice. The choice of a number, shape, and a color.”
The onstage spectator finishes their conversation and hangs up the phone. During the course of this conversation, the onstage spectator has asked their conversation partner to name a color, shape, and number.
The performer directs the spectator to remove an envelope from beneath their chair. Inside this envelope is a prediction detailing the color, shape, and number selected via the telephone.
