The Blurb

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.

“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’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
