Hoshi's Lucky Star by Sudo

Touching upon the notion of "wishing upon a star", you ask your participant to think of any secret wish they might wish for if they were to do just that.

An origami lucky wishing star is introduced and you begin a beautiful and magical folktale which not only reveals how a young girl from Japan saved all the stars in the sky from vanishing forever, but also the origin of the paper stars and why they are said to bring good luck.

A fun and bewildering game which is tied to this story is then played with your participant where it is repeatedly shown that the lucky wishing star actually brings good fortune!

When finished, you ask the participant to hold the lucky wishing star in their hand and silently repeat their secret wish in their mind three times.You then hold the star on your open palm for a moment... and reveal their secret wish!

The star is gifted to the participant along with words on how to make their wish come true... but only if they truly believe.

This enchanting routine fuses mentalism with storytelling and focuses on providing a genuinely wondrous and transformative magical experience for your participant that they'll likely remember forever. It's suitable for an audience of any age, and doesn't use a single move or sleight. In fact, the participant does nearly everything for you! If you can talk, you can perform this beautiful routine.

Originally distributed privately to only a small handful of people, Sudo has finally released this special piece to everyone. This is a beautifully designed and wonderfully illustrated 48 page manuscript which covers not only the effect itself, but also a discussion on storytelling and why it is of value to those in the mystery arts. The manuscript also contains new artwork and alternative options not present in the original given to those who received it from him privately. A bibliography of suggested reading material for those interested in pursuing storytelling further is also provided.

Hoshi's Lucky Star is, quite simply, a truly unique and enchantingly beautiful piece of real magic!
