Chris Philpott's French Postcards ist eine ausgesprochen unterhaltsame Version von Paul Curry's Out of this World.
"Ein brillantes Out of this World-Schlüsselerlebnis! Als Chris mir das vorführte, hatte ich wieder so einen "VER...- warum bin ich nicht auf diese Idee gekommen-Moment". Goldmedallie in Präsentation!!" - Steve Valentine
Eine Studie der Cornell University kam jüngst zu dem überraschenden Ergebnis, dass die Probanten mit großer Treffsicherheit vorhersagen konnten, ob ein Bild auf der linken oder auf der rechten Seite eines Computerbildschirms auftauchen würde - allerdings nur dann, wenn es sich dabei um erotische Abbildungen handelte!
Um dieses jetzt mit Ihrem Publikum zu testen, zeigen Sie 12 verschiedene Postkarten mit verschiedenen Örtlichkeiten und 12 historische französische Postkarten mit Oben-ohne-Mädchen - vintage und elegant. Die Karten werden gemischt und dann von einem Zuschauer, ohne dass er sie sich ansieht, danach sortiert, ob er fühlt, dass von einer Karte eine erotische Energie ausstrahlt oder nicht. Das Ergebnis ist erstaunlich perfekt ...!
Sie erhalten 24 speziell für dieses Kunststück angefertigte Postkarten, eine gedruckte Anleitung in englischer Sprache und Links zu Video-Instuktionen, Updates, Zusatzeffekten und als BONUS das Comedy Skcript des professionellen Comedian und Zauberkünstlers Bruce Gold. Außerdem noch Jon Armstrong'sOut of this Blah Blah Blah, eine der "saubersten" OOTW-Routinen aller Zeiten!
"Zu guter Letzt - mein Hauptgrund Out of this World vorzuführen, liegt darin, dass dabei die Aufmerksamkeit des Publikums von 'Anfang bis Ende gehalten wird. Mit French Postcards vorgeführt, werden Ihre Zuschauer Sie niemals vergessen!" - Steve Valentine
French Postcards Key Selling Points:
Paul Curry's Out of this World (released in 1942) is justly revered as one of the greatest of all card tricks. The plot is clear and seems utterly impossible: a spectator uses intuition to separate the red cards from the black cards. It's powerful, empowering and easy-to-do...
And yet, it is far from a perfect trick. What exactly does the audience see in performance? They see someone sort 52 pieces of paper into two piles. That's not magic, it's filing!
While there have been hundreds of methodological variations on OOTW, most don't address the core problem of making it entertaining: how do you add emotional stakes to someone dealing out cards, trying to separate red from black?
By moving from playing cards, French Postcards accomplishes several important things:
- More entertaining. In "French Postcards", the volunteer is not sensing if the card is red or black - he or she is sensing if it feels sexy or not. Instantly, this becomes more interesting, engaging and funnier. You don't have to tell a single joke - the situation itself is funny (but if you want to tell jokes, the script by Bruce Gold is excellent).
- More real. Because the premise is based on a real study, it makes the effect more believable and relevant - this is an effect that can make spectator's cry as well as laugh (you can see both in the trailer).
- Better visibility: the postcards are larger and can be seen better by your audience. The two types of cards are oriented two different ways (vertically and horizontally) and veer toward two different color-palettes (reddish versus blue-ish) to further increase visibility. The cards are visually more interesting than playing cards.
- More fooling. The size of the postcards seems to preclude sleight of hand, cutting off one possible explanation for how the trick is done.
And yet with all these advantages, French Postcards is no more difficult than the original effect.
REVIEWS
"I had a hard time believing that the postcards were custom printed because they look so normal and genuine. In fact, for the most part, they are. In fact if you really wanted to, you could use them for exactly that because on the backs of all 24 postcards there is a place for a stamp, lines for the address and the blank space to write your message in. As I said earlier, there is a useful feature on the backs of all the cards that looks absolutely inconspicuous - nobody will ever see it"

"Chris Philpott's French Postcards is the best presentation of 'Out of this World' I have ever seen, and the most "magic for the buck" I have ever purchased. 'Out of this World' has always been a favorite of mine, but it's too sophisticated, too lengthy, and lacks enough humor for my venues. And, it's a card trick, which I try to avoid on stage. French Postcards has removed all of these reservations. A BRILLIANT routine."

"I already use The 100th Monkey and The Tossed Out Book Test on a regular basis. I've just used French Postcards at a gig tonight during that "show us something different" moment. WOW what great reactions. Thank you for sharing your innovative approach to mentalism with mere mortals like myself. Truly refreshing."

"Love these! What a fun, creative spin on a classic. I look forward to seeing what other effects I can dress up with these beauties."
Charlie Frye, Reviewer 8/14/2015
