Anniversary Edition Ultimate Chair Test

Fifteen years ago, Luca Volpe released his Ultimate Chair Test Act, and it created a huge stir in the mentalism community. Performers like as Richard Osterlind, Chuck Hickok, and many other professionals praised the routine, and it has since been performed by top mentalists all over the world.

After many years, this celebrated act has been fully updated and is available once again. Even better, it comes complete with all the props you need, allowing you to perform it straight out of the box.

As with every release in the Professional Line by Luca Volpe and Alan Wong, this act is designed with the performer in mind. It's built for a reliable stage performance, so there are no electronics and or anything that could fail. You remain in complete control of the routine from beginning to end.

The routine is packed with moments of amazement and is designed to build toward a powerful finale that consistently earns standing ovations. It can also be personalized with a company message, making it ideal for corporate performances.

You'll receive:

• A combination-lock box
• Custom-made manila envelope and gimmick
• Bulldog clip with string
• Four A4 plastic placemats, each with a clip for easy lifting and a colorful image printed on the front
• Four customized brown ticket envelopes with printed numbers on the back
• Colored A5 paper in yellow, blue, red, and green
• Opaque switch bag
• Four A4 plastic sleeves featuring the same colorful images as the placemats
• A high-quality pouch for easy transport
• A PDF with detailed instructions
• A full workshop video download, including a complete performance

Here's what happens:
A randomly chosen participant freely selects a banknote, which is then secured in a sealed envelope around their neck for the duration of the performance. Four placemats, each with a big X on the back, are positioned on stage, and four volunteers are invited to participate. Each participant can then choose where to stand behind a placemat.

A locked box with a combination dial is displayed prominently on a table throughout the experiment. Each participant is offered the opportunity to attempt unlocking the box by entering any combination they wish. Unsurprisingly, none will succeed.

Four numbered envelopes, clearly marked 1 through 4, are presented. The participant with the secured envelope shuffles them face down to ensure randomness. Each of the other four participants then freely selects an envelope, showing then the chosen sequence. A bag containing four colored, crumpled paper balls is shown. Each participant chooses a ball without revealing its color.

The anticipation builds as the spectator wearing the secured envelope opens it and reads aloud the final four digits of the banknote's serial number. Remarkably, these digits unlock the previously unyielding box!

Inside, the spectator retrieves another envelope, which holds a written prediction.

The prediction details:

• The precise order in which the participants selected the numbered envelopes (e.g., 3-1-4-2), and a perfect description of the participant's clothing who chose the blue paper ball. (e.g., brown trousers, blue shirt, dark blue jumper).

The Final Revelation:
The four envelopes are opened, revealing cards with colorful images. As each participant lifts their placemat, behind each one is the exact image they are holding, culminating in a perfect match!

An Extra Finale:
When the four images are turned over, a customized message for the event is revealed, spelled out in perfect order.

"AMAZING routine! I have been performing a similar multiple climax routine for years. The BOLD MOVE alone is worth 10 times the price of the manuscript. I never thought of that and I am glad I learned this subterfuge now. Priceless! From the viewpoint of a professional, I must say this is really a worker's routine and a dream effect. What appeals to me is the flexibility of the routine, which means you can adjust all the various effects to your needs and style. Make it bigger or smaller as you want.

"Very clever routine with some strong ideas."
