Luke Jermay – Illumination
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcPZof0tpQ8&t=33sTake every audience on an unforgettable adventure with this show-stopping complete act from Luke Jermay.
Offered in partnership with Vanishing Inc., “Illumination” is one of Jermay’s most prized possessions. While you may be tempted to call it a book test, it is so much more. Honed over 1,000s of performances, this surefire 15-minute workhouse routine can be inserted right into any working set.
While many modern book tests have become engrossed with the idea of seeing how many methods can be jammed into a single book, “Illumination” goes in the opposite direction. By combining a few methods, you can seemingly reveal words, stories, and even the spectator’s thoughts and emotions!
You pick two helpers and give each one a book. They’re instructed to open up to a random page and read the first paragraph silently to themselves. You reveal the first person’s section by having the entire audience to feel the same emotions as the character in the book. For the second reveal, you work with the audience to create a distinct sound that perfectly matches the environment in which the paragraph is taking place.
Finally, for the third phase, a new person is invited to join you. They choose either book, open it to any page, and then find a long, difficult word they like. As they visualize this word in their head, you attempt to relay the images to your pad of paper. At first, it seems like your drawings don’t make sense. That is until you reveal a hidden connection. This cleverly-structured final phase adds a new layer of amazement that you’re going to love.
As you’ve come to expect from both Luke Jermay and Vanishing Inc., “Illumination” is exceptional quality. The two specially-made books look and feel incredible, and have been carefully crafted in a way that allows you to be very hands off.
No sleight of hand is required to perform “Illumination“. In the detailed instruction video, Luke teaches you how, with just these two books and the pad of paper, you can astound rooms of 10 to 1,000 with an audience-proven routine that’s surprisingly easy to do.
