Relaxation Time by Chris Philpot

Created by: Chris Philpot

Relaxation Time is a mentalism effect featured in the 'Odyssey' magazine by Chris Philpot. It plays with the spectator's emotions and perception, where an image of a stressed woman is shown with the text 'I am so enraged', but the performer sees 'I am so relaxed'. This trick explores the theme of how stress can alter our perception, making it a profound piece on emotional awareness. It's suitable for close-up or parlour settings, offering a unique blend of mentalism and emotional engagement.

What people are saying about Relaxation Time

itsallthingsmagic says...

Relaxation Time this one's kind of on the uh talking with the emotions a little bit cuz he likes to do that with some of this stuff for instance we've got an image of a woman here that is very stressed out it says I am so enraged and she's definitely not happy but to me when I look at it it says I am so relaxed I'm so relaxed uh which is fun because it kind of touches on people's emotions and perception about how sometimes when we're in the moment sometimes things feel like one way but if we take a moment they can maybe be a different way so about perception.
