“This is a magical piece of theatre that will play beautifully in the hands of the adept storytelling magician. Highly recommended if you are a lover of the mystery arts!” – Ning Cai

Delve into the enchanting world of “wishing upon a star” as you invite your participant to envision a secret wish. You introduce an origami lucky wishing star and weave a captivating folktale about a young girl from Japan who saved the stars from disappearing forever, explaining the origins of these paper stars and their association with good fortune.

Engage your participant in a delightful game linked to the story, demonstrating that the lucky wishing star indeed brings good luck! At the conclusion, they hold the star in their hand, silently repeating their wish three times. You then reveal their secret wish while holding the star in your open palm. The star is gifted to them along with guidance on how to make their wish come true—if they truly believe.

This mesmerizing routine blends mentalism with storytelling, creating a genuinely transformative magical experience that participants will cherish. It’s perfect for audiences of all ages and requires no sleight of hand; your participant does most of the work! If you can speak, you can perform this captivating routine.

Originally shared with a select few, Sudo has now made this extraordinary piece available to all. The beautifully crafted 48-page manuscript not only details the effect but also explores the significance of storytelling in the mystery arts. It includes new illustrations and alternative methods not found in the original version, along with a bibliography for those interested in further exploring storytelling.

Hoshi’s Lucky Star is truly a unique and enchantingly beautiful piece of real magic!

“Hoshi’s Lucky Star is a beautiful piece of storytelling magic. A rock-solid routine with a combination of simple techniques that leads to a very magical experience for the spectator. These techniques can easily be used for other routines; however, the one provided is so well crafted and fitted to the routine it is a joy to perform. I highly recommend this if you are looking for an inspirational one-on-one effect.” – Dan Clark

“Hoshi is my go-to effect when I want to share a wonderful story and create a treasured memory for someone. This is a true gem!” – David Eichler

“Sudo, THANK YOU! To say Hoshi’s Lucky Star is a magic trick or mere mentalism material would be like saying that the Sistine Chapel’s ceiling just has a picture painted on it. You have shared a performance piece that can evoke emotions, allowing a special moment to be felt and remembered. It is hoped that when someone else presents this, the bit of soul you put into creating this reaches out and touches those who are gifted that little star.” – Wrayvn

“Wow, I love this kind of magic! Sudo strikes again… and the result, again, is effing beautiful, simple, and meaningful. There is no way a spectator walks away from this experience without feeling like they’ve been touched by something magical.” – Seth Cauthorne

“Beautifully written and designed, and the effect is charming and magical. It’s a wonderful piece, end to end. Thanks for all your contributions to the art and the community! Sudo, *you* are truly a gift.” – Matt Packard

“This is a wonderful piece of art. I could go on and on about all of the little touches, the simple yet devastating method, the script itself. If you’ve been following Sudo’s releases over the past few years, this meets the expectations that one might expect from him.” – Rich Orvec

“Hoshi’s Lucky Star is a piece that provides an indelible ‘moment’ for someone that they will likely never forget. Sure, there is a little bit of ‘clever’ going on here; however, the ‘clever’ part is dwarfed by the ‘forever’ part. The ‘forever’ component allows someone to believe that actions of their own choosing can create magical moments. While many believe that life’s magical moments are rare, Hoshi’s Lucky Star instills hope that such moments will be more frequent in their lives. This is a piece of magic, but more importantly, it is a piece of hope. Simply brilliant! Kind of like a star.” – Frank (Boboswitch)

“As usual, Sudo has once again gifted us with a fine piece of magical theatre; simple in method, yet complex in possibilities. This is what magic should be all about… providing inspiration in other people’s lives, one person at a time.” – Philemon Vanderbeck
