Here is another
ploy to the Monty Hall problem, one of the most unexplored plots in
Magic and Mentalism.
In this version, the
mentalist plays the role of the candidate, and the participant plays
the role of the host. As many people nowadays know the Monty Hall
paradox or can search for it on the net, the game is made slightly
more complex, in order to avoid any probabilities:
The player can also
play the role of a corrupt presenter if they wish! He can secretly
steal the prize behind the third door, making it impossible for you
to win the Ferrari!
All this will allow
you to mix mentalism and comedy, with audience participation.
Effect:
The TV game as it
was broadcasted in the 60's by Monty HALL (during thirteen years),
was proposing a choice to a candidate among three closed doors.
Behind one of them, there is a fantastic price (like a car), and
behind the two other ones there is a cheap or funny prize (like a
goat). The player must show a door,
without opening it. Then, the presenter opens a door that has a goat
behind it (He is the only one to know where is the Ferrari). The
spectator needs now to decide to stick to the initial position, or to
open the third door.
You
will need to print 4 business cards (or JUMBO cards for bigger sizes)
with public domain images contained in this e-book. They will
represent the 3 doors and the extra “Goat”. The effect can
also be entirely improvised by writing or drawing the prizes on the
back of identical index cards or coasters, etc.
-
Entertaining, audience participation.
-
Ideal for close-up,
but also for parlour or stage. Packs Small, Plays Big! A little act
in itself.
-
Direct, flexible, no sleights, no reset, no force, no gimmick, no
markings, no pre-show, no double reality, no stooge of any kind, no
outs, etc.
- Easy to do, easy method
- Easy to do, easy method
- Can be repeated in front
of the same audience with the exact same presentation (although it is
not recommended by our chart...).
- Adapt the prizes to your
audience or venue (bars, restaurants, conventions, parties, etc.).
-
Can not be done with a kid, but can be performed for children
audience.

Voici une autre version
impromptue, sur le thème du dilemme ou paradoxe de Monty Hall, un
des thèmes cher à l'auteur, et largement sous-utilisé en Magie ou
Mentalisme!
Dans cette version, le mentaliste joue le rôle du
candidat, et le spectateur celui du présentateur de Télévision!
Étant donné que de nos jours, beaucoup de gens peuvent connaître le paradoxe, ou se renseigner sur internet, le scénario est compliqué légérement: Le spectateur peut aussi jouer le rôle d'un présentateur véreux!
Cette situation vous permettra de mélanger
mentalisme et comédie, tout en faisant participer l'audience.
Il vous suffira d'imprimer quatre cartes de visite
(ou photos grand format) non truquées, avec les images libres de
droit qui sont fournies dans le livret.
L'effet peut aussi être entièrement improvisé avec
4 cartes de visites identiques empruntées (ou dessous de bière,
etc)
