Reach for the Stars – Wolfgang Grosskopf

Made in Germany and based on an idea by Wolfgang Grosskopf.

The performer pulls out an elongated case, which has 20 star-like compartments on its outer surfaces, which are numbered from 1 – 20. The case is opened and 20 stars fall out. Each star has a red arrow fixed on it.
Although the stars all look the same at first glance, the performer claims they have subtle differences in shape. Each star only fits in a very specific compartment on the case.
The performer proceeds to show a variety of amazing demonstrations …
1st Demonstration – The performer picks up any star and tries to place it in any compartment. He eventually shows that this star only fits in recess no. 5 .
2nd Demonstration – If a star is rotated, for example not pointing up, it will not fit anywhere
3rd Demonstration – A spectator tries to find the right compartment for a star. After many unsuccessful attempts, the spectator finally succeeds or the performer shows him which compartment to use.
4th Demonstration – A spectator tries to find two stars that fit together when placed next to each other. The performer finds two that work.
5th Demonstration – The performer show the amazing properties of the Prime Numbers 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19.
6th Demonstration – The performer claims that he has a trained eye that can immediately find the right star for any compartment. A spectator chooses any number and the performer picks the corresponding star immediately.
7th Demonstration – The spectator points to a star and the performer immediately calls out its compartment.
8th Demonstration – The performer proves his sense of touch is just as amazing. The spectator gives the performer a star and without looking at it, he can place it in the correct compartment.
9th Demonstration – The performer quickly puts the remaining stars in their correct compartments.
All of these demonstrations can be mixed and matched to make up a full routine of your choice.
