A while back I bought Luca Volpes' Ultimate Chair Test Routine Act. I liked his take on it a lot,
so when I got an e mail advertising his latest offering I jumped at it. Let me tell you, it's good stuff. Here's a quick overview of it. Psychometry Drawing Extended The premise is simple and easy for the audience to understand; Four people make drawings and place them in envelopes. The performer matches each drawing up with it's owner and even duplicates one of the drawings. Obviously this premise has attracted the attentions of others in the past, however, this one has some interesting aspects that are worth very serious attention. The four people all draw on the same pad. i.e. One does his drawing tears off the sheet and passes the pad and pen to the next person. The envelopes handed out are unmarked/ungimmicked. They decide which envelope they put their picture in. i.e. One folds his drawing, puts it into any envelope, then passes the other envelopes to the next person. The envelopes are handed to someone else to mix. The performer identifies the first artist by "reading" the drawing. The second artist is identified by their body language on being shown one of the drawings. The third artist is identified without opening the next envelope, only by the matching "energies" of artist and drawing Finally the last drawing is duplicated. The performers drawing being handed to someone else before the last envelope is opened. I have just coined a new phrase which suits this offering of Lucas' perfectly. I'm calling it CLASSY mentalism. CLean And SSYmple OK my spelling isn't so cool, but you get the meaning. Everything looks so fair and above board that I'm sure audiences will be clueless. The pdf explains very clearly what goes on, you'll most likely have everything you need at home. (and I don't just mean in your magic stuff)anyone in the world has probably got what they need at home or at the office. I've never met Luca, though maybe soon, but I can tell from his writing that he thinks like me (not sure that's a good thing) and I like people that think like me. Check this out, maybe he thinks like you too. regards steve |

Oh man.... Luca just can't stop can he.............. I received the ultimate chair test a few weeks ago and still enjoying that.............. now I have to open my saving account again..... hhmmmmm
this is so tempting but BTW, correct me if I'm wrong steve, reading your review of the routine, it does look simillar to Marc Spellmann's routine from his DVD. I can't remember what it is called.... but I do remember the whole routines... I dunno, am I right?

Luca kindly shared it with me a few years ago. All I can say this routine is awesome. I really enjoy it and it caused me awesome reactions. It's complete 10 minute act with some pen and papers.
It's one of my favourite mentalism routines. |

Marcs' routine follows the same plot exactly.
in fact I was going to mention Marcs' routine in the initial post. However this version is so "hands off" it's unreal. They choose the envelopes, they can mix them, look at them. They could put them under a microscope if they wanted. The fact that they all draw in the same pad and then tear off their page is so cool I think. I'll try and find a link to post. Steve |

I found out about this direct from Luca as we'd been in touch via PM about another matter.
I've sent him a note to ask for a link. Steve |

Hi guys!
First let me say thanks to Steve for the great review! The file will be available to purchase in a couple of hours (time I come back home to send to everybody) Is a limited release manuscript at 100 units and will NOT be to the dealers, so one are gone are gone for good! This routine along with my other "professional series routines" which will be published in the not so distant future, are going to 'build' a complete 40 minute show for you that is portable in just a briefcase. In this manuscript you will find the original routine as detailed in the book "HORUS" and following this you will find the Extended version. Is really powerful and is my close "pet"!If you like my chair test routine you will LOVE this! You can paypal 38$ at info@lucavolpe.com Thanks for the interest. Luca

Just to be clear about the Marc Spelmann routine "Thief in the Dark"(which I love btw!)even if the primise is similar (but anyway is a classic when you do psychometry routines)the methods are completely different.
Everything is very easy to find for a total cost I will say of 6$ ! And you have a 7 minute act in your pocket...btw this routine can be adapted on stage also. ;)

I just sent in payment. I very much enjoyed your In My Mind Dvd and Chair routine so I am sure I will enjoy this effect as well. I look forward in receiving it.
Best regards, Michael

I just received the paid pdf. manuscript from Luca. Steve stated the details of effect in his post above. The pdf. manuscipt details how to make the necessary preparations whcih are extremely easy. You might already have waht is needed at home or a quick stop at the local stationary store. It might cost a few dollars. The set up is very easy. The routine is exremely strong. Luca gives several ways how to present it but the best presentation is what Steve mentioned above. It is a very practical and strong routine that has been carefuly refined by Luca. It is a true professional routine. Highly recommended.

VERY nice! I'll be fire testing this one with the artist crowd I work with and will post a review of this after having put it to the test... but I know this is one I'm adding to my arsenal. Cheers Frank |

I will add my two cents in this thread:
I just paypaled Luca awhile ago, and within 10 minutes he sent me the manuscript. I read it fully, and digested the information. Luca, you have something that is like the WIZARD PRODUCT REVIEW Craig and Dave say a WORKER!! I am going to have to give this worker of the week! I am sure if they review it they will both give it a high score. What you get is 14 page instructions on what you need to get at a local stationary store, plus the method behind the madness! Luca first goes over his old routine and how he used to perform it, and then he goes over the Extended version, which in my eyes is a lot better and cleaner! There is no way the audience will be able to backtrack the method. And you don't need to spend a lot of money on items either!! This is great, I plan on using this as soon as I find the necesarry gimmick.....im not sure if we have it here in Mexico, so I need to check on that! Anyways, if not, next week I will be in the states, and I might just purchase one.....so anyways....i lvoe this routine....and I can see it fitting any persons stage or parlour act, with a fair amount of study and practice. Thanks Luca, I have yet to purchase your Ultimate Chair Routine! Alex

BTW
When I mean gimmick I just found it, and they have it everywhere in the world, all local stationary stores carry it, I just thought here in Mexico that wasnt the case, but I was wrong, and we do have it! I also forgot to mention that Luca has some other ideas in which you can use Manilla envelopes to seal the drawings inside, and then reveal whose drawing belongs to which spectator, and finally duplicate the drawing at the end. Sorry for any confusion. Thanks Alex

As ever with Luca's thinking, it's solid and very useable.
The main idea apeals to me as it's similar to something I thought about a little while ago but it's nice to see another performers approach. This is of course a version of Sneak Theif but most methods and presentations are all vet similar, Luca's offers more flexibility to add your own twists.

Is this workable for stage or more for closeup. Are the materials and "gimmick" doable in large size for stage or theater performances?

This is easily "upscaleable" (made up word) It would work for stage very easily. When I first read this the picture I had in my head was of a performer on stage, so yes it's good for any size. Regards steve |

Thanks Steve, I like your fancy word "upscaleable", very nice. I appreciate your help with my question.

I have lots of made up words.
"Thinkative" is one of my favourites. My Dutch wife came up with that one. Steve |
