Chris Philpott Penguin Live (Instant Download)

Chris Philpott's Penguin Live lecture is a masterclass designed to inject a storyteller's artistry and a filmmaker's precision into your magic and mentalism repertoire.

This instant download delivers an unparalleled opportunity to learn from one of the most exciting new voices in the world of mentalism.

What You'll Discover

Prepare to delve into a collection of easy-to-perform mentalism and magic effects that blend deceptive methods with compelling narratives. Chris will teach you tricks incorporating his unique '100th Monkey principle,' alongside gems from his acclaimed book, 'Intimate Mysteries.' This lecture also unveils several brand new effects, revealed here for the very first time. Your downloadable package is further enhanced with three bonus effects and some of Chris's best 'Magic Magazine' articles, providing a comprehensive learning experience that extends beyond the lecture itself.

Featured Effects to Elevate Your Act

Imagine presenting 'Photo of the Kids,' where a spectator uncannily describes a picture from your wallet without seeing it, or executing 'Thought-of Card to a Called-Out Location,' a super clean and memorable piece of card magic. Explore the humorous and visual 'The Liar,' a fresh take on the classic truth-teller plot where the liars literally cannot stand up. With 'Anchors Aweigh,' you'll witness a playful guessing game transform into a startling prediction, utilizing a principle many believe is entirely new to magic. For those drawn to the darker arts, 'Your Deepest Fear' channels Chris's experience writing for horror directors like Tobe Hooper, creating a suspenseful, chilling homage. Learn 'Breakthrough,' an effect Chris previously marketed successfully, where a pen penetrates a deck, a card rises, and then something truly strange occurs.

Revolutionary Principles & Bonus Material

Chris also dives into 'One Monkey Ahead,' a profound re-thinking of the One Ahead Principle from his latest release, 'Babel.' Praised by Banachek as 'very, very, very, very ingenious' and Luca Volpe for its potential to 'change the way you perform this classic method forever,' this technique alone offers immense value. The downloadable package provides everything necessary to perform 'One Monkey Ahead' and materials to construct 'Your Deepest Fear,' alongside three additional bonus effects and a selection of his insightful 'Magic Magazine' articles. This isn't just a lecture; it's a complete toolkit for transforming your approach to magic and mentalism, adding layers of narrative depth and dramatic impact to every performance.

When You’re Out of this World No One Can Hear You Applaud
Chris takes a screenwriter’s eye to one of the classics of magic as if it were a screenplay in bad need of a rewrite.

Photo of the Kids
You know that photo of your kids you keep in your wallet? A spectator is able to describe it with uncanny accuracy without seeing it!

Thought-of Card to a Called-Out Location
What the title says. Super clean and very memorable.

The Liar
A funny, visual take on the liar/truth-teller plot in which the liars literally cannot stand up.

Anchors Aweigh
A playful guessing game about a trivial statistic turns into a startling prediction. Uses a principle many believe has never before been used in magic.

Intuition
A spectator finds a card from a spread, face-down pack the old fashioned way – dowsing!

Your Deepest Fear
Chris takes what he learned writing scripts for two of the great horror directors – Tobe Hooper (Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Poltergeist) and Taka Shimizu (The Grudge) – and pours it all into this effect, a dark, suspenseful homage to horror movies.

Breakthrough
A pen is smashed through a deck. A card rises from the impaled deck. Then the strangest thing happens… An effect Chris marketed a few years ago. (This lecture just paid for itself!)

One Monkey Ahead
A re-thinking of the One Ahead Principle from Chris’s latest release, Babel. Banachek called this effect, “Very, very, very, very (did I say very?) ingenious. Lovely.” And Luca Volpe said, “It opens so many possibilities that it makes you crazy! This is something that will change the way you perform this classic method forever!”
