Drunk Monkey by Chris Philpot

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.

What people are saying about Drunk Monkey

itsallthingsmagic says...

The drunk monkey you start off by uh having someone join you on stage and you're going to talk about the different drinks because this magazine is all about travel and Discovery [...] the words get harder to read so it almost looks like the person is slurring which is fun.
