Odyssey by Chris Philpott (Only Video)

“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

Ten fffects 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
