Josh Zandman – Chairs

PDF

Experience the “Chairs” routine, an impromptu chair magic performance by Josh Zandman. This straightforward, no-gimmick routine involves a spectator who freely selects one of seven chairs, with the option to change their choice at any time. The selected chair holds a predicted envelope containing a $20 bill inscribed with, “You will choose this chair.” To validate the prediction, the adjacent chairs are revealed to be empty, allowing the spectator to keep the bill as they exit the stage. It’s simple, clean, and impactful.

Alternatively, your spectator could leave with a $1 bill while every other chair hides a $100 bill!

Key features of the original routine include:

• No gimmicks, switches, or forces involved
• The spectator manages the envelope
• Surrounding chairs are displayed empty, regardless of the chosen chair

This edition includes contributions from Greg Arce, Max Krause, Dr. Todd Landman, Raj Madhok, and a bonus routine by Andrew Gerard. First edition released in 2010; 12 pages of engaging content.
