Drunk Monkey
Created by: Chris Philpot
The 'Drunk Monkey' is a humorous and interactive mentalism trick where the magician appears to test a spectator's sobriety by having them read words from a magazine. The words become increasingly difficult for the spectator to read, mimicking the slurred speech of someone who is drunk, while the audience can read them perfectly. This trick is part of the 'Odyssey' magazine, which is a high-quality, realistic-looking travel magazine containing 10 different magic effects. It's perfect for close-up or parlour magic, offering a blend of mentalism and comedy.
