ITINERIS (Gimmicks and Online Instructions) by Radek Hoffmann, Luca Volpe and Alan Wong
The routine starts when the performer asks the spectator to make some
random decisions. First, they need to set up a random time using the
performer's watch. Then they generate a random number using an imaginary
die. They throw it three times and add up the imaginary numbers to
create a total. Now it's time for a fascinating story about the
performer's grandfather. How he inspired him to travel and share magic
with others. When the performer opens the passport holder, he will deal
the exact number of luggage tags using the number generated by the
spectator earlier and will stop at random place in the world. Then the
mentalist asks the spectator what kind of image they have in mind when
thinking about this place.
The performer takes out a drawing from
the passport holder and when he opens it, it will be exactly what our
spectator just described! Surprisingly, no other luggage tag is related
to this image. Then the mentalist will take out the black envelope.
Inside that envelope is a piece of a plane ticket to a new destination
chosen by spectator! That is not all! The time generated by the
spectator matched the departure time on the plane ticket. The last
kicker ending is the seat number. It is the same number generated by
them earlier!
Itineris is a very elegant and organic
routine, where all random decisions made by the spectator will perfectly
match predictions about the performer's past journey. This is not just
another prediction trick. This is a routine where you can take your
spectator on a fascinating journey inside your mind!
