EVOKE by Craig Petty
"I genuinely believe that you have solved the problem of Playing cards in mentalism because if you use the EVOKE deck you can basically do any card trick, any sleight of hand and it will have a mentalism edge to it that will totally transform the trick into anything now. This is an amazing achievement!" -Marc Paul
EVOKE is a master key that can unlock deep, emotional connections with your audience instantly with ease.
Mentalism with playing cards at the best of times can be hard for your audience to connect with. BUT... if you change the card values for strong and emotive words and phrases then you instantly plug in a direct line to their heart strings, and they instantly become your secret weapon.
For example: Using EVOKE you can turn a basic card peek/reveal and supercharge it into something deep and powerful. And this is just the tip of the iceberg.
"If I had to sum it up in one word... WOW."-Mark Elsdon
Designed by Phill Smith... he's built in a devious peek system that's woven innocently into the back design of each card. A secret system that only you can read. Once you know the secret, you'll never miss it, but those who don't, they'll never find it.
Every single playing card will covertly deliver you the following information in one swift glance.
PEEK INFO:
- Emotion Word
- Black & White or Color
- Which image
- MOAB Word
- Next Emotion Card in Stack
- Quote Author
THE DECK DOES THE WORK FOR YOU.
But it's not just basic information printed onto the cards... Craig's entwined new and old, criminally clever, magic principles throughout the entire deck that will make your audience genuinely believe that you can read their thoughts.
For a lot of people, this may be their first foray into mind reading. EVOKE is the perfect stepping stone to try proper mentalism. Peeking a card is easy but maybe the thought of cold reading might be daunting... we've got you.
We brought in the man that literally wrote the book on cold reading... Ian Rowland
Don't ask us how but Craig managed to sit down with Ian Rowland at The Magic Circle UK Headquarters and film a 2 hour Maestro Class on cold (and warm) reading, specifically using the EVOKE deck, the likes of which you'll have never seen before.
We won't tell you any more about it. This very, very special addition to the project is reserved only for those who own EVOKE.
