Your new favorite opener for your stage and parlor magic or mentalism show.
"The Lucky Envelopes" by Luca Volpe, with support from Paul McCaig and Alan Wong, has been a highlight of Luca's show for over 12 years. It's a new take on the "50/50" concept that will convince your audience that you have the ability to influence them.
You start by showing two numbered envelopes. One of them contains a fantastic prize and you're going to do everything in your power to help them win it.
Following a little psychological byplay, the participant's freely chosen envelope is opened, cleanly showing they have won a nice prize! However, when you open your envelope, you show that it has a much larger cash prize.
You demonstrate that this was not a game of chance where the performer wins and the participant loses, but an experiment to show how to influence people's choices. The experiment also proves without any doubt, that you knew well ahead of time what the final outcome would be.
This seems to have gone under the radar.It's so good I've bought two copies!Envelopes are precision made and very well constructed. The way they are dumped out makes the outer pockets look convincingly empty- nobody has ever suspected the secret.I absolutely love performing this as it offers so much audience involvement and can be personalised, gig to gig.Highly recommended!
