100th Monkey by Chris Philpott

The 100th Monkey is more than just a method. You will want to run with these secrets.

Chris is a very clever boy. He took a genuine psychological phenomenon and turned it to his advantage to create something utterly baffling.

A breakthrough in the art of mentalism. The 100th Monkey is brilliant and takes dual reality to the next level, the effects are powerful and well thought out, and even greater is the core technique which opens the door to endless possibilities.

The thinking mentalist wants to be at the cutting edge of new ideas without using gadgets. The mind takes advantage of how our minds work.

Mentalists who want to go that extra step for something that feels real enough to be impossible will soon be the standard. The ideas, principles and demonstrations that are worthy of being seen on TV and still be believable is the most valuable part of the 100th monkey.

You can quote me on that, Chris! The method is crazy.

Chris Philpott has brought a new and useful principle to mentalists. Highly recommended.

Please stop talking about this because it is effing great. The less people know about this, the better.

I think it is great. Craig Filicetti said he had to rub his eyes when he looked at it.

It can become a deadly psychological weapon in the hands of a good performer. I can’t recommend The 100th Monkey enough.

This is the sort of thing that other performers buy the rights to in order to keep to themselves.

Absolutely brilliant!

I love this! I will stick this straight in my show. One of the best mentalism products we have seen in a long time. A new principle! Chris’ routines are great.

It is an understatement to say that I am impressed. I will carry this with me wherever I go. There is a huge amount of additional files in the secondary DVD which can be used by magicians, mentalists and hypnotists. I implore you to take less than three minutes to watch the video because words simply do not do this justice.

The 100th Monkey.

A new plot involving the entire audience.

A volunteer reads the minds of the audience after the performer holds up a card with a word written on it.

Scientists made one of the strangest discoveries of all time in the jungles of Koshima in Japan in 1952.

A volunteer on stage with her eyes closed is the only one in the audience who can see a large card held by the performer. The card has a word written on it. As the audience concentrates on the word, the volunteer is asked to think of a country.

The card shown to the audience matches her choice.

The effect can be repeated with a variety of volunteers, from rock bands to six-digit numbers.

You may be wondering how a volunteer can know what other people are thinking. If you think this involves a switch or flap so the volunteer looks at a different card than the audience, you are wrong, everyone looks at the same card at the same time!

After performing this for a group of mentalists, many of them confessed to me that they thought I was using stooges. I was not.

The theory of the 100th Monkey Effect is that when enough people think the same thing, it can spread to others.

Speechless

Take away a volunteer’s ability to read.

I want you to come on a little adventure, a trip into the past, your past, to rediscover the wonder you felt at that age when you had learned to speak but not to read.

A volunteer’s ability to read is taken away by the performer. When the performer holds up cards with words printed on them, the audience can read the words easily, but the words make no sense to the volunteer who struggles to sound out the words just like a child learning to read. In the end, the performer gives the volunteer back his ability and without ever looking away from the card, he can read the words perfectly!

Speechless doesn’t use hypnotism, but it can be presented as a display of mind control. It can be funny but it can also be frightening.

Speechless uses no stooges, instant or otherwise, and the volunteer is just as amazed as everyone else, and the moment when he suddenly understands the word he is looking at is so baffling and powerful that it elicits gasps and shouts.

Speechless is part of the 100th Monkey package and includes video overview, full written instructions, script, variations and all necessary gimmicks.

The sixth scent.

Without a question or anything written, reveal exact details of which four spectators are thinking of a time, a place, a thing and an emotion.

There are different types of thoughts. You can say, Oh, they’re cooking Indian food! when you walk into someone’s home. I catch the scent of a thought when I am close to someone, not the specific thought which is very difficult but a general flavor. I would like to show that for you.

Four people come up from the audience. The cards are blank on one side and have different meanings on the other side. With the performer’s back turned, they mix the cards among themselves and yet the performer quickly and unerringly determines who is thinking of a time, a place, a thing and an emotion. This is repeated many times.

Without a single question, pre-show, stooges or anything written down, the performer reveals the exact month, country, piece of furniture and emotion the four people are thinking of!

There were no stooges, hypnotism or pre-show.

There are 2 DVDs, props, written text and lots of extras.
