Saturn Magic - Easy Tones by Rich Relish & Craig Petty

This video is a glowing review of the 'Easy Tones' deck by Rich Relish and Craig Petty, available from Saturn Magic. A seasoned close-up mentalist with 15 years of experience, the creator is incredibly enthusiastic about this deck, believing it elevates mentalism beyond traditional card tricks by leveraging the power of color psychology. The deck, which appears to be a collection of color samples, cleverly incorporates concealed markings that allow the performer to identify a spectator's chosen color without any forcing or memorization. The creator highlights the deck's ability to create a deeper emotional connection with the audience, as colors evoke memories and feelings more effectively than playing cards. He demonstrates the system of markings – letters on the back of the cards – and how, combined with a simple temperament question, the chosen color can be instantly determined. The 'Hottes' and 'Cheerful' cards are also explained as tools to guide the spectator's choice. The creator suggests this deck is perfect for various performance settings, from intimate parlor settings to larger stage shows, emphasizing the importance of natural presentation and rapport-building. Ultimately, he considers it an 'incredible tool' and a 'trip' that he incorporates into every performance, offering a fresh and engaging approach to mentalism.
