This is great for both close up and stage. Love it!&#8221; <\/i><br \/><b>&#8211; Billy Kidd <\/b><\/p>\n<p><i>&#8220;OK, screw you! You made me tear up watching a MAGIC TRICK?!  It&#8217;s great. It may be the best magic trailer ever. Really.&#8221; <\/i><br \/><b>&#8211; Ken Weber<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The Performer displays a deck that Therapists use to help their clients describe their negative emotions and says, &#8220;I don&#8217;t want to go into any personal trauma, but we&#8217;ve all just been through a collective trauma &#8211; the pandemic.&#8221;  The Spectator takes some cards and chooses one that describes how they felt during the pandemic.  <\/p>\n<p>The Performer then mind-reads the spectator&#8217;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!  <\/p>\n<p>(Note: the pandemic scripting is only one possible presentation.)<\/p>\n<p><i>&#8220;The only trick I know where the magical transformation happens to the spectator! Highest possible recommendation.&#8221;<\/i><br \/><b>&#8211; Pete McCabe<\/b><\/p>\n<p><i>&#8220;Ok, it&#8217;s no secret that Chris and I are mates, and I&#8217;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&#8217;S GONE ONE STEP FURTHER, with Feel Better he makes it about EVERYONE. You can&#8217;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.&#8221;<\/i><br \/><b>&#8211; Steve Valentine<\/b><\/p>\n<p> <i>&#8220;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&#8217;t wait to get out there with this.&#8221;<\/i><br \/>&#8211; <b>Arun Rath<\/b>, NPR and PBS host and correspondent<\/p>\n<p> <i>&#8220;One of the BEST routines in the last decade!&#8221;<\/i><br \/>&#8211; <b>Eric Bedard <\/b><\/p>\n<p> <i>&#8220;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&#8217;s outlook on life.
