The other DVD in the package contains a 66-page PDF of instructions, along with hundreds of picture files you can choose to print for your future shows.
It feels like a rightful sequel since Chris practically uses all the same settings from before filming in his living room with the same curtains and Venice beach with beautiful people. I found myself laughing often at his cheeky sense of humour, peppered throughout the duration of real life performances, tutorials of the effects featured in the trailer above, and insightful sharings which I will elaborate about shortly. The instructional DVD teaches 5 close-up routines (Fortune Teller, UnHypnotized, Pledge, I Want to See My Future and No Art) and is about an hour and a half long, with Chris presenting his endearing v-logs like in The 100th Monkey. Just like its popular predecessor, Narcissus comes with 2 DVDs and a stack of printed cards (4 variations of 12 cards in total: dim, mid, bright and normal for switching out) ready for your immediate use. That’s essentially the main differences between the two. Once again, light conditions play an important factor, so it is always good to check before launching into your performance but there is more latitude with Narcissus since it is designed for the close-up environment where everyone is seated/ standing on the same plane. Like The 100th Monkey, the optical illusion cards in Narcissus read one thing close-up and something else far away. You can also borrow their mobile phone and gift your spectators with an incredible souvenir, a picture perfect memory of them holding up a card revelation which they could not previously see… and they can always share these incredible videos and photos with friends on social media, which would be a great marketing tool working in your favour. So for workers who do lots of walk around/ table hopping gigs, this will be perfect for you! Narcissus essentially takes the 100th Monkey principle to another level, allowing you to do some pretty incredible close-up miracles that throughly messes with people’s minds. The highly anticipated Narcissus by Chris Philpott is finally here! If you don’t know about his wildly popular 100th Monkey, which creatively uses a clever mix of typoglycemia and hybrid images (remember that classic one of Marilyn Monroe with Albert Einstein?) that was so well-received it spawned 12 different language versions besides the original in English, you must have been living under a rock 😉Ĭheck out the wicked optical illusion at play in the video below it will quickly bring you up to speed…Īs shown above, Speechless is one of the stage routines taught in The 100th Monkey and like Narcissus, is a pseudo-hypnosis act that uses no assistants, stooges or pre-show work.
