Serendipity by Cris Johnson Mixed Media DOWNLOAD

Let your audience watch two volunteers create a striking coincidence: one draws an object written by an audience member, while the other makes a free-form drawing that appears to match it. In Serendipity, Cris Johnson gives you a visual stage mentalism routine built around audience participation.

Two volunteers join you onstage as the rest of the audience contributes ideas. The reveal gives everyone a clear picture to follow, with a memorable moment when the drawings are shown.

What’s included

• Step-by-step instruction: Nine separately labeled videos cover setup, performance, and alternate ideas.
• Written guide: A well-organized manuscript includes photos to help explain the routine.
• Audio instruction: A 55-minute MP3 walks through the same material as the videos and manuscript.
• Live performance footage: Watch two performances, one for about 50 adults at a luncheon and another for around 200 middle school students.
• Practical approach: The routine uses no sleight of hand, preshow, or electronics, and relies on simple supplies rather than specialized magic props.

Serendipity is a digital download, not a physical prop set. The described presentation uses art easels, drawing pads, slips of paper, pencils, markers, and a blindfold. It’s a visual addition to a stage mentalism set when you want volunteers—and the audience watching them—to share the moment of astonishment.
