The Constellation Prize
Created by: Gabriel Werlen
The Constellation Prize is a stage mentalism trick where the performer presents a spectator with a choice between two options, such as blue or red. Through clever scripting and psychological principles, the performer creates an illusion of ambiguity and impossibility, leading to a surprising and impossible revelation of the spectator's choice. This trick is ideal for stage performers looking for a simple yet powerful addition to their act.
