The video highlights the deck's unique properties and the numerous effects it enables, showcasing its potential for both close-up and stage performances. It’s presented as a demonstration of the deck's capabilities rather than a detailed tutorial, focusing on the impact and possibilities it offers. The core concept behind EasyTones is leveraging the inherent connection people have with colors—emotions, memories, and personal associations—to create compelling mentalism effects. The deck itself is comprised of 40 color swatches and 55 cards, printed on high-quality card stock. The creators emphasize that it’s unlike anything previously available, packing a remarkable number of methods, principles, and effects into a single deck. The video also notes that any comments revealing methods or gimmicks will be removed to protect the intellectual property of the creators. Several effects are showcased or mentioned, including a mindreading/prediction routine, a color confabulation effect for three people, and a reimagining of the Gemini Twins effect. Craig Petty, a renowned mentalist, was so impressed by Rich Relish’s initial concepts that he joined the project, contributing over two hours of new routines. The video conveys a sense of excitement and innovation, positioning EasyTones as a game-changer in color-based mentalism.
