Tony Chris
BON VOYAGE
$40
THE BLURB:
(NOTE: This is just one of a series entitled MAXIMUM
PREDICTUS. As of this writing, the other three are Rock
Stars, The Hollywood Opener, and Test Drive. The themes are
different, but the effect and methodology are the same. The
other three themes deal with rock stars, Academy
award-winning movies, and cars, respectively. So you can
consider my comments at the bottom essentially the same for
the other three. The link above to purchase Bon Voyage will
work for each of the other four, too.)
______________________________________________________
Get ready for a magical vacation as the magician plays the
part of a captain on Magic Airlines. A boarding pass is
introduced which becomes a prediction of the flights
destination. The spectator is the vacationer and has a
completely free choice of where to insert a card with a
picture of a luxury jet airliner into a deck of postcards
from around the world. Once the spectator has inserted the
airplane card into the deck, the captain reveals the
location of the magical flight. It matches the prediction
(boarding pass card) which has been in full view from the
start. Instantly reset!
- Very Easy to do and is perfect for magic or mentalism!
- Comes with the beautiful designed deck, card box and
instructional DVD including live performances.
MY COMMENTS:
This is based on a fairly well-known principle credited to
Karl Fulves. Tony Chris, unfortunately, was not aware of it
at the time of this release, so the crediting is incorrect.
What that means is that you're not getting something
revolutionary or original, but elegantly made props that can
be used for solid routines. To some, that may mean that
this is mental magic, but that's an assessment I'll leave to
you.
Two sizes of this effect are available. One size is for
close-up or pocket work and the cards are about the size of
credit cards. The parlour size cards are about 4x6. Each
card has a photograph of the place in the world with its
name written on the top half of the card in an easy-to-read
font. Also supplied are extra cards so that you can have
different predictions. However, you don't really need these
cards. One of them, the card used to select the place card,
has a picture of an airline that says "Magic Airlines" on
it. I don't think most mentalists would want to use this.
I certainly wouldn't. As I said, one can use other things,
such as a passport wallet or holder, that would accomplish
the same.
The instructional DVD features Tony Chris demonstrating and
explaining the use of these props. He provides one method
(the one with a method that should be credited to Fulves)
and then explains a few other methods. It is because of
this, and the fact that the methods do not include new
principles, that I say that one is essentially buying
elegant props. This is not a criticism as I really like
this and have already come up with quite a few ideas that I
can use with this. I received the jumbo/Parlour version,
but the close-up version works fine, too.
