Odyssey 2 by Chris Philpott

"One of the greatest mentalism tools of all time!"-David Penn

A Modern Classic Reimagined

Odyssey earned its cult following for one simple reason: it felt real. Not like a prop. Not like a gimmick. A genuine object that secretly held enough power to build an entire act.

Odyssey 2.0 is the next chapter expanded, refined, and elevated with new material and creative contributions from Steve Valentine and Shawn Farquhar.

This isn’t a magazine that looks convincing.

This is a luxury travel magazine one you’d expect to find in an airport lounge or five-star hotel designed to quietly deliver miracle after miracle.

Designed by professional graphic designer Jules Philpott, Odyssey 2.0 feels authentic from the first touch… and becomes devastating once you begin performing.

TEN POWERFUL EFFECTS. ONE FLAT-PACKING PROP.

Odyssey 2.0 allows you to perform a complete close-up or stage set using a single magazine. It packs flat, plays big, and is perfect for professionals who want maximum impact with minimal gear.

FEATURED EFFECT: “DRUNK MONKEY”

A spectator becomes increasingly “drunk” simply by reading drink names aloud.

Now enhanced with:

• Shawn Farquhar’s pages that visibly “sober” the spectator

• Steve Valentine’s jaw-dropping moment—pouring coffee directly from the magazine to snap them back to reality

A BOOK TEST THAT FEELS REAL—BECAUSE IT IS

Every article matches its destination. Paris. Tokyo. Luxor. Bali. Ibiza.

Nothing feels forced. Nothing feels out of place. The realism sets a new standard for book tests.

ALSO INCLUDED:

• Remove a spectator’s ability to read

• Reveal a thought-of word using randomly chosen Scrabble tiles

• Let one spectator read another’s mind

• Perform Arthur Emerson’s “Pegasus Page”

• Move your audience with Chris Philpott’s emotional “Unhypnotized”

• Plus five additional powerhouse effects

A PROP YOU’LL ACTUALLY WANT TO HAND OUT

• 108 pages on glossy 100-lb paper

• Glossy laminated cover

• Looks and feels like a premium travel publication (think Condé Nast Traveler)

• Plays beautifully for close-up and stage

TRAINING

Includes over 2 hours and 20 minutes of in-depth instruction so you’re confident, polished, and performance-ready.

Also features a secret vision tester built directly into the magazine.
