"Das schönste Zaubertrick, den ich je gesehen habe." - Raney Aronson-Rath, Chefredakteurin und Geschäftsführerin von PBS' Frontline.

• „Schön! Was eine Transformation, wörtlich und figurativ!“ - Banachek
\n
• „Wow! Das ist wirklich kräftereicher! Und was für ein schöner Geschenk für die Zuschauer. Ideal für Close-Up und Bühne. Ich liebe es!“ - Billy Kidd
\n
• „OK, verpiss dich! Du hast mich beim Betrachten eines ZAUBERTRICKS zum Weinen gebracht?! Das ist großartig. Es könnte der beste Zaubertrick-Teaser aller Zeiten sein.“ - Ken Weber

Der Darsteller zeigt ein Kartendeck, das Therapeuten für die Beschreibung negativer Emotionen ihrer Patienten verwenden und sagt: „Ich will nicht in persönliche Traumata eindringen, aber wir haben alle gerade durch eine kollektive Trauma – den Pandemien – hindurchgegangen.“ Der Zuschauer nimmt einige Karten und wählt eine aus, die seine Gefühle während der Pandemie beschreibt. Der Darsteller liest dann die Emotion des Zuschauers mit unheimlicher Genauigkeit. Dann leihst er sich ein Mobiltelefon und macht ein Foto von dem Zuschauer, der die Karte hält, während er sich in eine bessere Zukunft vorstellt. Als sie das Bild anschauen, hat ihre Worte sich verändert und sind etwas Wunderbares geworden!

(Hinweis: Die Pandemien-Presentation ist nur ein möglicher Vortrag.)

• „Der einzige Trick, bei dem die magische Transformation den Zuschauer trifft! Höchste Empfehlung.“ - Pete McCabe
\n
• „Okay, es ist kein Geheimnis, dass Chris und ich Freunde sind, und ich bin ein großer Fan seines Werks. Warum? Na ja, meistens machen Zauberer ihre Tricks um sich selbst herum, aber Chris macht sie immer um den Zuschauer herum – und jetzt geht er einen Schritt weiter mit Feel Better. Er macht es für alle! Du kannst nicht mehr aktueller, kräftericher oder einfacher zu bewältigen sein. Feel Better wird direkt in meine neue Show als Encores-Nummer eingesetzt, weil ich den letzten kräfterischen Moment mit dem Publikum teilen möchte.“ - Steve Valentine
\n
• „Feel Better ist ein wunderschönes, perfektes Werk. Das ist genau der Grund, warum ich mich ernsthaft für Zauber als Kunst interessiert habe. Ernsthaft, das ist ein riesiges Geschenk für die Zauberwelt und den Globus. Nach zwei Jahren mit einer Radio-Show über die Pandemie kann ich nicht mehr warten, damit ich hinausgehe und das mache.“ - Arun Rath, NPR und PBS-Herausgeber und Korrespondent
\n
• „Eines der BESTEN Rituale in den letzten Jahrzehnten!“ - Eric Bedard
\n
• „Natürlich haben wir Zauberer die Macht zu sagen: Ta-Da! Schau mich an! Aber nach einiger Zeit sollten wir uns auch daran erinnern, dass wir das Potenzial haben, zu helfen und zu heilen. Feel Better ist eine wunderbare Möglichkeit, um zu zeigen, dass du wirklich um die Menschen in deinem Publikum besorgt bist. In den richtigen Händen hat Feel Better das Potenzial, einen Zuschauer seine Lebensperspektive zu ändern. Was kann mehr magisch sein?“ - Professor Phelyx

Originale englische Beschreibung

"The most beautiful magic trick I've ever seen."
- Raney Aronson-Rath, editor-in-chief and executive producer of PBS's Frontline.

"Beautiful! What a transformation, literally and figuratively!"
- Banachek

"Wow! That is powerful! And what a beautiful gift to leave people with. This is great for both close up and stage. Love it!"
- Billy Kidd

"OK, screw you! You made me tear up watching a MAGIC TRICK?! It's great. It may be the best magic trailer ever. Really."
- Ken Weber

The Performer displays a deck that Therapists use to help their clients describe their negative emotions and says, "I don't want to go into any personal trauma, but we've all just been through a collective trauma - the pandemic." The Spectator takes some cards and chooses one that describes how they felt during the pandemic.

The Performer then mind-reads the spectator's emotions with uncanny detail. Then the Performer borrows a cell phone and takes a picture of the spectator holding the card while imagining a brighter future. When they look at the picture, their word has transformed into something wonderful!

(Note: the pandemic scripting is only one possible presentation.)

"The only trick I know where the magical transformation happens to the spectator! Highest possible recommendation."
- Pete McCabe

"Ok, it's no secret that Chris and I are mates, and I'm a huge fan of his work. Why? Well, most magicians make their tricks about themselves, and Chris almost always makes it about the AUDIENCE, but now HE'S GONE ONE STEP FURTHER, with Feel Better he makes it about EVERYONE. You can't get more topical, more powerful or for that matter more easy to perform. Feel Better is going straight into my new show as the encore piece, because I want to leave that final powerful moment with the audience to share."
- Steve Valentine

"Feel Better is a beautiful, perfect piece of work. This is exactly why I became serious about magic as an art. Seriously, this is such a huge gift to the magic community and the world. After two years hosting a radio show about the pandemic, I can't wait to get out there with this."
- Arun Rath, NPR and PBS host and correspondent

"One of the BEST routines in the last decade!"
- Eric Bedard

"Sure, we magicians have the power to say, Ta-Da! Look at me! But after doing this work for a while, we should also realize that we have the power to help and to heal. Feel Better is a wonderful way to express that you do genuinely care about the people in your audience. In the right hands, Feel Better has the potential to change a spectator's outlook on life. What is more magical than that?"
- Professor Phelyx
