I divine a spectator’s first celebrity crush.
This is one of the first routines I learned when I started mentalism back in 2020, taught to me by Raffaele Scircoli (https://www.instagram.com/raffaelescircoli/?hl=en). Living or Dead tests do have a long history, but as I mention in the performance, they just seem a little morbid and possibly in bad taste now. I figured the celebrity crush angle would be a lighter approach, so I went with it. Truthfully I didn’t expect this to get as positive a reaction as it did, but everyone loved it, which was a nice surprise. Just goes to show that old tricks can still wow a modern audience with the right presentation.
Side note, I was up front about the name of the game Gabriel and I played to eliminate the false choices to give anyone who’s interested in learning mental magic a term they could search for.
