Basic Script:
So I want you to imagine your star sign written in the air. I want you to imagine looking over all of the letters and just projecting them towards me.
And start to randomly go through the letters, projecting one out to me, then moving on to the next.
(1) “Don’t say anything unless I ask you a direct question. Focus on your star sign written in the air between us…like…LEO. Are you seeing it there?”
This is a very important section; the timing is essential here. I first mute the participant—remember at this moment in time we don’t know what the participant’s star sign is. If we get a no on the letter R, we will see looking at the anagram (outlined above) there are three star signs it could be (Leo, Gemini, Pisces). I need to eliminate one of those star signs before any letter is ever thrown out in the eventuality that there isn’t an R in there I need to be on a branch with two signs not three.
I ensure the participant never says a word during this first part of the anagram, I need to stop them from saying - “That isn’t my star sign,” when I throw out Leo.
I do this by carefully thinking about the way that I throw out Leo, as the timing of this is essential.
Take a look at the script,
There is a slight pause before the word “like” and then again a pause before I throw out “Leo.” The reason for the pause is because if the participant’s star sign is Leo, they will react as though you got it right and you never need move any further into the anagram.
*No Hit If they do not react as though you hit their sign you need to follow up directly with,
(2) “Are you seeing the letters from YOUR sign in the air?”
Participant: “I am.”
Performer: “Great. Keep changing through the letters, stop there, go back there’s an R in this, correct?”
*No You now know it is either Pisces or Gemini. I could use Derren’s “Repeat It Principle”:
focus on your picture and, while focusing on the picture, just keep saying the title of the picture over and over like Pisces, Pisces, Pisces.
If the participant reacts instantly jump on the reaction, “I was feeling that was your sign.” If they do not react affirmatively, simply respond with, “Just repeat it over and over again like that.” Now you know they must be a Gemini. Seemingly, a miracle has taken place.
Alternatively you could use Michael Murray's CUPS principle.
(3) If you did get a hit move on with “There is also an A.”
*No You now know it is either Virgo or Scorpio. Again either use the Repeat it Principle or the CUPs principle.
(4) If you did get a hit, move on with “I am getting slightly confused now, like the connection has weakened slightly. There is not a letter I in the star sign, is there?”
This is another important line. By claiming you are getting slightly confused, it gives you leeway for a miss. Remember, probability suggests the further you get down the anagram, the greater the chance there is of getting the response of a No from the participant.
I have taken this into account and have offered another logical excuse/ reminder to wash away the No, and also I have, if you haven’t noticed, applied a ‘closed question’.
The closed question is: “There is not the letter I in the star sign, is there?”
Say this with a little bit of a confused tone, and no matter what the participant answers you have prepared an out.
*No - You now know it is either Taurus or Cancer. Quickly counter with, “I didn’t think so”, I would then smile like the pressure of doubt has been removed from my mind. “I might in a moment have to resort to you focusing on the picture of this star sign."
(5) If they say yes, say “I might in a moment have to resort to you focusing on the picture of this star sign. An ‘S’ in there.”
*No - You know it is either Libra or Capricorn. “Ok, can you just in your mind count the number of letters in the star sign for me?” The participant starts to count. “In fact, please focus on this as an image if you can.”
Use CUPS or "Repeat it"
“Wow, this is much better; a wealth of information has just flooded in. (I would usually add scripts here but I will do this later.) I now know you focus on things aesthetically instead of analytically”. "Your a Capricorn/Libra."
(6) If they say yes, "There's a E.
*No - You know it is either Aquarius or Sagittarius. Use CUPS or "Repeat it".
(7) If they say yes, you know it is Aires.
