Focus by Craig Petty

Craig Petty and Phil Smith's new creation, Focus, is generating a lot of buzz, and this video serves as a compelling promotion for this innovative marked deck of cards. The core concept revolves around leveraging the universal love of movies to create a more engaging and relatable magical experience. Unlike traditional card magic, which can sometimes feel disconnected, Focus taps into shared cultural references, allowing magicians to instantly connect with their audience. The deck isn't just about knowing movie titles; it's a versatile tool packed with hidden information, from release years to actual quotes from the films. Petty and Smith highlight the deck's potential for a wide range of effects, from simple movie predictions to mind-reading routines using real movie quotes. What truly sets Focus apart is the promise of 'God Tier' information – revealing details not even printed on the cards, like box office numbers, creating a truly astonishing effect. The video emphasizes the deck's versatility, suggesting applications for both professional magicians and casual performers, and encourages respect for the intellectual property of other magicians.
