Channeling the grandeur of Robert-Houdin's heyday, this lavish show offers an experience that’s as posh as a Venetian gondola ride (minus the risk of falling in). Dazzle your audience with a slice of elegance and sophistication that’ll make even the fussiest of critics nod in approval.
Intuitio - The Pendulum Act is a full-blown mentalism show featuring just pendulums and two decks of cards. This act is tailor-made for intimate gatherings (max 30 folks) and has been performed with flair by Luca at some seriously swanky private bashes in Venice. It's a multi-phase extravaganza that ramps up the intrigue, crafted to build a thrilling crescendo from start to finish. Those playing cards? They’re not just for poker night anymore; they morph into a unique gateway to endless possibilities. And don’t worry, Luca Volpe’s methods are straightforward enough to grasp while still packing a punch—no frills, just thrills!
What you’ve got here is an elegant mentalism act that you’ll be chuffed to showcase!
Even with its seemingly simple approach, this is a powerhouse performance, meticulously crafted over two years of exclusive gigs in the opulent settings of Venice's private residences.
The show unfolds in distinct phases: kicking off with audience-wide engagement; then moving to contact mind reading; followed by sniffing out truth from deception; next, spectators intuitively find their own cards; then, a psychic reading zeroed in on a chosen card; and finally, a mind-boggling imagination game—a cheeky twist on "Any Card at Any Number" where your spectator visualises their card's position in the deck. It all wraps up with a memory feat that’ll have the crowd on their feet!
You’ll get a complete, finely-tuned script, which is a gem in its own right. Every psychological nuance and movement has been thought through, giving you a pocket-sized powerhouse performance.
This show requires a standard deck of cards, a Svengali deck, and a pendulum—props that are as easy to grab as a cuppa!
*The book includes a video link showcasing Luca Volpe's detailed handling of the required (simple) moves.

"Intuito by Luca Volpe is not merely a routine—it is a ritual in disguise. Within its elegant structure lies a quiet alchemy: the ability to theatrically show that you can awaken intuition, shape perception, and leave your audience gently unsettled in the most beautiful way. For those attuned to the 'subtleties' of card work, hidden paths will reveal themselves—inviting you to weave your own enchantments into the framework. This is more than method; it is mystery made manifest. Thank you, Luca, for conjuring such a luminous and artful experience." - Scott Grossberg
