DEEP DIVE SPECIAL FEATURING EASYTONES BY RICH RELISH

Peter Nardi's "The Deep Dive" series welcomes mentalist Rich Relish for an in-depth look at his innovative creation, EasyTones, a utility deck designed to elevate mentalism performances. This isn't just a deck of cards; it's a psychological tool leveraging the power of color to create deeper connections with audiences. Relish explains that EasyTones, released through Murphy's Studio, is cleverly disguised as a graphic designer's tool, adding a layer of believability to routines. The deck's unique design features a marked stack with alphabetically arranged colors and a second half with unique names and codes, allowing for a wide range of effects, from simple forces to complex mind-reading routines. Craig Petty's significant contribution to the instructional video and expanding the deck's potential is also highlighted. Relish demonstrates a walk-around routine with a prediction envelope and discusses the deck's adaptability to various performance styles, including close-up, parlor, and stage shows. He emphasizes a psychological presentation style and offers tips for memorization, including the use of crib cards and flashcard apps. Ultimately, EasyTones offers a versatile and engaging tool for mentalists seeking to connect with their audiences on a deeper level.
