The Blurb
Luca Volpe Productions and Alan Wong are proud to present Birthday Traveller based on the routine “Verdoux Voodoo” by Florian Severin and an original idea by Al Bertini. This fantastic tool will allow you to present a fun and entertaining routine that can be performed for any kind of audience. It can be used as an opener or as part of a confabulation routine. Highly visible for the largest stage!
Imagine this:
You give a red envelope to a member of the audience asking him to pass it in the hands of other people and at one point another spectator will say stop. The person with the red envelope will join you on stage. You will show him a folder with 31 beautifully designed destinations and ask him to tell you the day of his birthday, so to see which will be his “birthday destination”. Once the number is removed, you will show the chosen destination which miraculously matches the one in the spectator’s envelope! The set comes completely ready to perform and includes a professional looking forcing ring binder, all custom designed watercolor artwork cards, a large red cardboard envelope with the final prediction and the download instructions.
Credits and other released versions:
The forcing tool has been featured in Florian Severin’s “Verdoux Voodoo” from “What Lies Inside” published by Vanishing Inc Magic and from the French edition “Ultra Mental” published by C.C. Éditions and also the Japanese edition “Seltsame Abenteuer des Darian Wolf” released by Hiroyuki Okada – previously published as “Verliebt, Verlobt and Abgezockt” from the original German release “Thirteen Steps to Vandalism”, all of which are based on a terrific original idea by Al Bertini, published in “Magische Studien 4” by Peter Wilker, 1991, courtesy of Al Bertini.
Easy to do and plays big on stage and parlor shows! Great audience participation!
Another great tool made by professionals for the professional workers!
Jheff's Guide
WHAT IT IS:
Effect with Props
HOW ACCURATE OR COMPLETE THE AD COPY IS:
It’s accurate enough.
SET-UP AND RE-SET:
It comes ready to go right out of the box. The re-set merely involves putting the artwork back into the page protector.
WHAT’S NOT INCLUDED THAT YOU NEED OR NEED TO KNOW:
There is no option to use another theme. If you wish to use the forcing tool, but would like a different theme, then you’ll have to use some desktop publishing skills to create and print out new artwork. Also, like most filled binders, this may be a bit heavier and bit larger than you’d like to deal with. It will take up quite a bit of space in your case.
SUITABLE VENUES:
Close-up, Parlor, Stage, Internet
JHEFF’S JUDGMENT:
This is a simple forcing tool that plays big, is easy-to-do, and is an extremely effective method. So long as the considerations mentioned above aren’t an issue for you, this is a tool that’s certainly worth investing in and one of the best gimmicks for mentalists to be released this year.
