It looks effective. I'm interested to know if anyone has tried it yet.

I saw this and was thinking about getting it. A review would be nice.

French Postcards is such a fun routine! I instantly became a fan of Chris Philpott after getting 100th Monkey. French Postcards is equally great! It takes the classic Oil and Water routine and brings new light to it!

I think this looks good, but you'd have to pick your audience, and some will do it for anyone and everyone regardless Smile

Yes, you have to pick your audience.
If your unsure about the risk or reaction, I suggest building on and emphasizing
on the patter. Eg: The psychological/ E.S.P studies. This does remove
some of the focus off the breasts.

It looks like a reduced deck Out of this World to me. If you don't think the special cards "make the trick," may I suggest the effect "Tony Chaudhuri's Feminine Side" from the Ron Bauer "Think Like a Conjuror" series. It uses regular cards, sets up in front of the spectators, and has a strong premise and "performance script." If you have the requisite acting skill, I think it is stronger. Maybe both effects for different audiences? I have no idea if the method for "French Postcards" bears any resemblance to that for "Feminine Side." I do know that the latter costs "a mere" ten bucks.

Anything Chris puts out is usually worth checking out.
By failing to prepare, we are preparing to fail.

I think it takes Out Of This World out of a kind of deck sorting trick and into an engaging sensual sensitivity feel. Must be for the right crowd. Only other OOTW Effects that are equally engaging to me are Separation Anxiety and A Perfect World.
