Odyssey 2.0 by Chris Philpott with Jules Philpott
Ten devastating mentalism effects hidden inside one beautiful travel magazine. This is the ultimate weapon for working mentalists.
Why Pros Call This One of the Greatest Mentalism Tools Ever
Imagine walking into any venue with nothing but a luxury travel magazine. No bulky props. No suspicious-looking gadgets. Just something you'd naturally be reading on a flight or in a hotel lobby. Then you proceed to blow minds for 20 minutes straight with impossible mentalism effects that leave audiences stunned.
That's the power of Odyssey 2.0.
The Original Became a Legend. The Sequel Is Even Better.
The first Odyssey became an instant favorite among professional mentalists worldwide. Odyssey 2.0 takes everything that made the original brilliant and elevates it with refined methods, new effects, and contributions from mentalism legends Steve Valentine and Shawn Farquhar.
This isn't just an upgrade. It's a complete evolution.
What Makes Odyssey 2.0 Different?
Most mentalism props look like props. Odyssey 2.0 looks and feels exactly like a premium luxury travel magazine you'd find at an upscale airport lounge or boutique hotel. Professionally designed by Jules Philpott (a graphic designer who understands both aesthetics and deception), this 108-page magazine features genuine travel articles matched to real destinations like Paris, Tokyo, Luxor, Bali, and Ibiza.
When you hand this to a spectator, they're holding something completely convincing. Yet within its pages lie ten powerful mentalism routines that can fill an entire act.
Ten Professional Mentalism Effects in One Magazine
1. Drunk Monkey (The Signature Effect) - Make a spectator progressively drunk simply by having them read drink names from the magazine. Watch them slur, stumble, and laugh as the "intoxication" builds. Then sober them up instantly using Shawn Farquhar's new method or Steve Valentine's showstopper where you actually pour coffee from the magazine pages. This effect alone is worth the price of admission.
2. Book Test - A book test so convincing it sets a new standard for realism. Because the articles genuinely match their destinations, everything checks out when spectators examine it. Reveal thought-of words, passages, or specific details with multiple methods included.
3. Reading Removal - Temporarily take away a spectator's ability to read. They look at the page and the words become meaningless. Then restore their reading ability instantly. A powerful demonstration that feels genuinely psychic.
4. Scrabble Miracle - Reveal a thought-of word using randomly chosen Scrabble tiles. Clean, direct, and impossible.
5. Mind-to-Mind Transference - Make one spectator read another spectator's mind. You're just the facilitator as genuine telepathy seems to occur between two strangers.
6. Pegasus Page - Arthur Emerson's classic effect, brilliantly adapted for Odyssey 2.0. A powerful prediction effect that packs small and plays huge.
7. Unhypnotized - Chris Philpott's emotionally powerful routine that connects with audiences on a deep level. This isn't just mentalism, it's theater.
Plus three more devastating effects that give you incredible variety for any performing situation.
Built for Real-World Performing

This isn't printed on flimsy paper. Odyssey 2.0 features 108 pages on heavyweight 100-lb glossy paper with a laminated cover that looks and feels exactly like a genuine luxury magazine. Hand it to the most skeptical spectator and they'll believe it's real because the production quality is that good.
