Audiences love it when a performer does a shout out to their hometown. How cool would it be to do an effect all about the city you’re in?
City Monkey by Chris Philpott is a perfect way to do just that!
Everyone, no matter how much they love their city, also complains about it. In this effect you “hypnotize” someone into letting out their pent-up frustrations.
Cities can be expensive, smelly, dangerous and rat-infested and the sports teams always seem to choke. (I mean, they can’t all win.)
You show the spectator a card that says something nice about the city, such as "New York: It’s so Exciting!" But the spectator reads, “New York: it’s so Expensive!” You can show them a card that says, “Paradise for Real!” but they read, “Paradise for Rats!”
In the end, you restore the person’s love of their town. You can even show them a card that says, “I hate this city!” and they’ll see “I love this city!”
City Monkey comes with over 400 downloadable jpegs, ready-to-perform in 13 different big cities: Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Philadelphia, Toronto, and Washington.
And - it also comes with cards with a blank space where you can add ANY city.
City Monkey: powerful, engaging, funny and easy-to-do. Only available from magicaonline.com!
