Do you use a chair test in your show?
If you do, is it an effect that you've created, or someone else?... |

I use a chair test as a finale to my show. It is one I created. I love it and may even release it in the distant future.

I thought that you use Art's chair test plus Pabalo Amira's Test Condition Prediction.

I use a chair test early on as a fun way to demonstrate influence and control over human behavior. I learned to do it from someone else.
I don't want to discuss names of teachers or performers. We could have a more open conversation downstairs. There's more benefit to gain by discussing in Inner Thoughts. Penny is too visible to search engines and it isn't worth discussing valuable things here. Like a bag with a hole in its seam, stuff leaks out of this forum.
The secret of deception is in making the truth seem ridiculous.

I sometimes perform Rick Maue's "Fate?" as a closer. It has four spectators stand at designated places, but has essentially the same dynamics as some chair tests. What you need to perform it is very portable, it requires no advance preparation in the performance venue, and it involves a second revelation when the audience assumes the effect is over. It can be done with either a Prediction or an Influence implied premise.

I can predict the future, you know how I'm going to show it? By knowing where you're going to sit. Tada! As a plot it's kind of underwhelming.

But what if I present it as Mind Control? (I usually don't give labels to my demonstrations).

Also Clairvoyant, did you know that the originator of the chair test is the "real" "psychic" Gerard Croiset?...

I like Art´s Chair Test and I have also used in the past my own "Chromatic Chair Test" and other routine of mine inspired by the one from Luca Volpe and Banachek.

It's the only good magic thing I've come up with...Why not!
Well...that's not exactly true. I have a trick called "Pairs" in an OLD Jerry Mentzer book.
