Odyssey by Chris Philpott

Description

Ten Effects in one magazine!
The magazine is gorgeous. Designed by Jules Philpott, a professional graphic designer, it looks and feels exactly like a real luxury travel magazine. But it is filled with miracles!

Take away someone's ability to read!
A spectator seems gets more and more drunk just by reading the names of drinks! There's a book test that sets a new bar for realism. The article on day trips from Paris really is about day trips from Paris. Articles on Tokyo, Luxor, Bali, Ibiza are really on those topics.

Reveal a thought-of word with randomly chosen scrabble tiles!
You help someone realize a dream vacation.

One spectator can read another one's mind!
You can describe a thought-of picture and help someone who is tense to relax. Arthur Emerson's "Pegasus Page" and Chris Philpott's emotionally powerful "Unhypnotized" from Narcissus are both embedded in the magazine.

Odyssey also includes a secret vision tester.
The magazine has 108 pages printed on glossy 100-pound paper with a glossy laminated cover just like you'd find in magazines like Condé Nast Traveller.

Includes a 2-hour training video.
There are effects that are suitable for both close up and stage.

"I've been using the heck out of Odyssey in my corporate work and it's been an absolute treasure for me. A magician recently asked how to get one and when I told them I wasn't sure he offered me 300 for mine on the spot and I wouldn't take it because I'm not doing shows without it anytime soon! Such an amazing tool!"
- Cole Blalock

"Being able to perform numerous effects with one magazine is genius. The audience participation and reactions are killer! It has the look and feel of a real luxury travel magazine. The mixed drinks routine alone knocked it out of the park!"
- Ron Gudel

"F#%&ing Brilliant!"
- Banachek

"Odyssey is an incredible tool that looks like the genuine article and is packed with countless possibilities. It went immediately into my show at Hidden Wonders!"
- Shawn Farquhar

"Odyssey is now the ultimate version of Chris Philpott's groundbreaking 100th Monkey ideas! What could be more organic than a luxury travel magazine stealthily loaded with routines and entertaining mental destinations? It is absolutely perfect."
- Brett Barry

"I love my MOABT and have used Glance for years, but Odyssey leaves both of these in its dust. You can actually pick this up and read it for the pure enjoyment of it. The 100th Monkey Principle is one of the most brilliant concepts in magic. Chris' variations are great, but Odyssey eclipses all of them. My only complaint about this is its low price. Should have been much more. Highly, highly recommended."
- Jim Canaday, The Magic Portal

"This is one of Chris Philpott's best releases and one of the best releases of the year! ODYSSEY now takes the crown of best magazine test. I've handed it to many people whose jaws dropped when they realized the magazine was not legitimate. The quality is exquisite. It is far less expensive than MOABT, and, in fact, it has more features."
- Jheff, Marketplace of the Mind

"I think this is one of the best effects that's ever been released for mentalists! This is incredible! Inside here there are an absolute metric tonne of diabolical secrets. It allows you to do a 20-minute mentalism act with nothing but this magazine. It all reads very, very clearly. Having something like this that I can just put into my case, and I can do it anytime, anywhere is worth its weight in gold. I love this! I'm giving this 120%. I don't normally give stuff over 100% but this is brilliant!"
- Craig Petty

"One of the greatest mentalism tools of all time! This magazine is unbelievable! I could do it in a show on Friday night and get away with it. It's that easy! It genuinely looks like a real travel magazine. 100% real. I'm going to use this! It's a whole act! You're literally controlling their mind for 15 minutes with one very ordinary-looking magazine."
