Narcissus by Chris Philpott"It's friggin' brilliant! Particularly Unhypnotized wow! I mean, that is what the mystery arts should be about. Narcissus brings the 100th Monkey principle into a whole new and incredibly useful realm. It includes some serious powerhouses, from the expletive inducing to the quietly moving, possibly even transformative.

"I couldn't recommend this more!!!!!! It's powerful, brilliant and above all effective. It's a no-brainer... this should be in your arsenal if you want to blow peoples minds. Bravo Chris, you've done it again! IMHO I feel this kind of magic is the next step in the evolution of our profession... advancing us to be perceived beyond mere mortals."
- Joe Monti

"Chris Philpott's Narcissus takes his 100th Monkey genius to a new level that will leave audiences speechless! Narcissus opens up an entirely new playground of powerful routines using a spectator's own phone that packs small and plays big. Highly recommended!"
- Brett Barry

"Just gave a couple of the effects a test run over the weekend. Monday morning comes along and I get 2 new enquiries come in from people with the images stored on their phone from the weekend performance. Nuff said. THANK YOU, Chris! IMO this will possibly be one of the greatest marketing tools ever released as a well as A grade performance material."
- Al Straker

"Chris did it again! This time the power of 100 Monkeys is always with you, anywhere, anytime, plus it will be a memento that the audience will have with them for all their life! Powerful routines and very entertaining too!"
- Luca Volpe

Finally, the 100th Monkey principle goes close up!

Five powerful new effects by Chris Philpott.

In each effect, a picture of a spectator taken on his own phone magically changes under the most impossible conditions!

Easy-to-perform effects that are unlike anything your audiences have ever seen. Effects that are as memorable as they are impossible, as moving as they are amazing.

When Dan Harlan was asked "On the topic of Penguin lectures, what's been your most memorable moment? Is there anything that jumps out at all?" Dan answered, "Yeah! Yeah, yeah. Chris Philpott... He brought the most dramatic presentations, things where you really cared about what was going on... Just so well-thought-out. Really, really smart thinking."

The five effects in this release are:

The Fortune Teller
You give your volunteer a card with a picture of a "haunted" fortune teller machine on one side and Romani (Gypsy) writing on the other. You borrow a cell phone and take a picture of the spectator holding the card - but when they look at the photo, the foreign words have changed to English and they give the spectator's fortune! It is uncannily accurate and can even predict a lucky number or chosen card!

Unhypnotized
As you begin to hypnotize someone you discover that she is already hypnotized! Then the magic begins... A beautiful, empowering effect.

The Pledge
You ask a spectator to pledge to assert his free will by reading a statement on video: "My will is strong! I will make a free choice" Then he chooses a card under very fair conditions. Yet it turns out that you've controlled their mind: when they look at the image on their phone it says, "My will is stolen!" and names the card they chose.

I Want to See My Future
Predicting the future is a dangerous thing and sometimes people "kill the prophet." So to verify a spectator's consent, you take a picture of her holding a card that reads "I want to see my future!" But when she looks at the photo, the words on the card have changed to reveal her future in a surprising, accurate and funny way.

No Art
A spell from Harry Potter reveals a secret thought. You ask a spectator to think of a person (or place or thing) and then you have them hold a card that says "I am thinking of a thing." You cast the "Aparecium" revealing spell from Harry Potter and now when they look at the picture, their secret thought is visible.

Up to now, all 100th Monkey effects have been designed for stage (with workarounds for close up situations). This is the first time that these kind of effect are designed specifically for close up situations (though now there are workarounds for stage work).

Includes pre-printed cards, 90 minute video instructions, PDF of written instructions with many variations on these routines and 145 print-at-home gimmicked JPEGs allowing you to vary the effects to suit your own performing style and a wide variety of performance situations.

"Close up at last! This is exactly what everyone who's ever heard of the 100th Monkey has been waiting for."
- Pete McCabe

"Chris does it again! Narcissus explores my favorite application for the 100th Monkey principle. I'm loving this!"
- Ran Pink

"Fantastic work from a real genius."

- Marc Salem

Utopia bedding is GREAT
Color: 15 - Sage Green, Size: King
I had never heard of Utopia before I suddenly needed to buy bedding for my adult autistic son. He has sensory issues so shopping for anything that touches his body is a bit of a nightmare. I took a gamble on these sheets but it paid off big time! He says they are the most comfortable sheets he has ever slept on and that he doesn't overheat sleeping in them. What I liked about them is that the pockets were deep enough that it fit on his oversized plush mattress easily. I love the color and the ones I bought were very true to the picture. These are soft, comfy, they look nice and they are affordable. I liked this brand so much that I went ahead and got pillows and a comforter from them as well. Its is great for my son and I am very pleased to have found a fabric he tolerates.

For soft, sensually awesome sheets- LOOK no more!
Color: 15 - Sage Green, Size: Full
Would give 10 stars if possible! (And this is a nonpaid for review!) When I received the sheets, instantly I knew that I had the right ones, had bought a down comforter close in color as well.. these sheets? The material is strong yet, soft and warm. So so especially soft, and when I make up the bed, ahhh! plus the corners on the fitted, such a cinch to pull over the mattress, even with a topper on the bed! Feels almost spa-like <3 Very comfy, so far in the winter and in 85 degree heat! Soft and easy peasy to care for, too. Washing is a breeze, dry and fold. So far the only thing I can smell on these sheets is my wonderful detergent! Will purchase again. And possibly, again! Thank you!!

Soft luxury on a modest price
Color: 01 - White, Size: King
These sheets are truly luxurious. They are thin, but feel wonderful against your skin. The sheets are roomy enough to latch onto the corners without having to lift the mattress and stretch. The thread count provides incredible softness against your skin. The pillowcases are roomy enough for your pillow so that you do not have to feel like you’re stuffing sausages.

Honest Company making things right!
Color: 02 - Antique White, Size: California King, Color: 02 - Antique White, Size: California King
Love how this Californai sheet set feels and they fit very nicely on my bed. They are beautiful although I am unhappy with the 2 small holes I found in the fitted sheet after pulling them out of the packaging. I am past the return as I was not able to use them on my bed because I was moving and my bed was in storage. This is very disappointing for such a beautiful sheet set. UPDATE- I have reached out to the company and they were very kind and helpful. I stated the situation along with pictures and the order # and the company quickly responded with a new fitted sheet. Such a delight to find an honest company wanting to do the right thing. I Will order from this company again.

Very thin. You get what you pay for.
Color: 01 - White, Size: Queen
You get what you pay for. I first noticed the softness which was great. The quality is very thin. They are cool which is great. I have not washed them yet. I would suggest washing them on cool and gentle by themselves. And because they are so thin I would fluff dry for an hour if you have that setting. The two things that damages clothes and sheets, etc. are if you have an agitator in your washer, those ruin clothes and the heat you choose for the fabric you’re drying I always wash my clothes on cold. I do not have an agitator anymore and on delicate and thin fabrics, I use fluff dry. It is cool, but it will dry, especially if it is thin and I’ve had to dry my fine delicates a little bit longer on fluff that way they don’t shrink because the shrinking comes in from the heat from the dryer so keep that in mind another good thing to remember if you got white sheets like I did is that when you use your detergent add a little bit of borax or laundry booster and they will help get them clean and sparkly white. I am on the fence about whether I would recommend this or not if you’re tight on money and you take good care of them I would recommend that you get them. I’m a linen freak and I buy mostly expensive sheets and I thought I would try this out so that’s where I’m at.
