Charlie By Darren Close

Charlie is a routine that allows the performer to present a medium-style demonstration at any time and in any setting, without the need for dedicated applications or specialised devices.

Designed as a simple three-phase routine, the effect begins with the spectator freely selecting a pet from a memorial website, during which only vague impressions are revealed.

A second selection follows, where the impressions become noticeably stronger and more accurate, building naturally toward the final phase.

In the closing moment, the spectator chooses the animal they feel most drawn to, culminating in an emotional conclusion that leaves a lasting personal connection.

The routine is easy to learn and, once mastered, can be performed anywhere.

As Charlie is not an installable application, it functions seamlessly on both iOS and Android devices.
