Touching upon the notion of “wishing upon a star”, you ask your participant to think of any secret wish they might wish for if they were to do just that.
An origami lucky wishing star is introduced and you begin a beautiful and magical folktale which not only reveals how a young girl from Japan saved all the stars in the sky from vanishing forever, but also the origin of the paper stars and why they are said to bring good luck.
A fun and bewildering game which is tied to this story is then played with your participant where it is repeatedly shown that the lucky wishing star actually brings good fortune!
When finished, you ask the participant to hold the lucky wishing star in their hand and silently repeat their secret wish in their mind three times.You then hold the star on your open palm for a moment… and reveal their secret wish!
The star is gifted to the participant along with words on how to make their wish come true… but only if they truly believe.
