Jung Star by Phill Smith

A collaboration between Alex Ward and Phill Smith

A revelation that feels real.

Imagine guiding someone through a quick personality test, letting them make a few straightforward yet impactful choices, and then—bam!—you reveal their star sign without a single question. That’s the magic of Jung Star, a brilliant brainchild from Alex Ward and Phill Smith. This gem fuses a classic notion from analytical psychology with contemporary mentalism, resulting in an effect that’s personal, believable, and astonishingly seamless.

The Concept

At the heart of Jung Star lies a personality test inspired by Carl Jung himself. Each choice feels organic and thought-provoking, allowing your participant to dive into genuine self-reflection. Forget about clunky procedures, fishing for info, or memorizing scripts. You simply invite your participant to ponder a few concepts about themselves, then with a calm demeanor, you unveil their star sign.

Thanks to Alex Ward's crafty method, the heavy lifting is all done for you. The handling is transparent, the logic impeccable, and the outcome delivers a genuine sense of wonder.

The Artwork

Phill Smith has crafted the test with rich symbolism, drawing from Jung’s treasure trove of archetypes, dreams, and myth. The visuals feel timeless and authentic, like they were unearthed from an old psychology journal or a long-lost dream diary. This design not only elevates the effect but also roots it in meaning, ensuring it’s more than just clever tricks.

The Performance

You hand your participant the test and ask them to respond earnestly. As they make their selections, you’re there, observing and listening. Once they’re done, you confidently reveal their star sign.
