"That's remarkable. That's a miracle. That's true astonishment right there."
- Justin Miller

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.

"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

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.

"People might not always remember what you did, but they remember how you made them feel."
- Marc Spelmann

Principles, Peeks and Peters.

It wouldn't be a Craig Petty Project if we didn't line up a dream team of collaborators.

First, we have Peter Nardi. World renowned mentalist, famed for his ability to create commercial yet stunning mentalism that anyone can do but no one can figure out. And he's here to share with you his favorite tricks that he performs using EVOKE.

If that wasn't enough, Craig called in every favor and pulled every string he could to get Peter Turner sit down for a few hours and share a gold mine of knowledge, ideas and tricks!

Many mentalists consider Peter Turner to be one of the best living mentalists and certainly, on the Mount Rushmore of mentalism creators.

What Peter Turner shares is literally worth the price of the project on its own. Period.

ONE MORE THING

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.

"If I had to sum it up in one word... WOW."
- Mark Elsdon

Tap directly into your spectator's emotions like never before. Your audience will become your secret weapon with the power of Evoke.

What other magicians are saying:

"I generally think this is one of the best products for the mentalist that I've seen in years"
- David Jonathan

"When you leave people with an emotion, it changed everything... this is the mentalism that people will remember."
- Luca Volpe

"One of the things I love about these is that these are all about emotion and you've just got so many different directions you can go in."
- Marc Chandaue

"If you have a layperson think of a card and you reveal it - it's mind-blowing. But if you're attaching emotion to that, then that's proper powerful stuff"
- Roddy Mcghie

"It's really incredible, I just want it, I want it already! It's got to be one of those things that every Mentalist is going to have, and they're all going to use it!"
- John Morton

"Because we're humans, and we've got emotions. So, if you can connect with somebody, then everything not only looks better, but it just feels better."
- Joel Dickinson

"I'm kind of excited about this deck of cards because some people are not as comfortable with the processes that might be involved in even just the fundamentals of basic mentalism. And this is like a cheat code for it."
- Jake Keane

Good But Not Perfect Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 2nd, 2024
First of all, I do have this deck. I just got it with a friend's order.

I give this 4 stars because it is a well crafted product, but it has some big issues.

The Good:
-fantastic marking system.
-tons of effects and routines can be done with this. It should really be seen as a utility device.
-lots of tutorial time with the best definitely being Ian Rowland's part.
-beautiful overall design on the front and back.

The Bad:
-for the price, 2 decks should have been provided. No ifs or buts. 28 cards for $40?? Infinity deck is cheaper and has 52 cards. I see a lot of Evoke simps commenting on other reviews. Guys, have some self-respect.
-These should have been PLASTIC. As good as the cards are, I cannot gig confidently with them because they will 100% be destroyed upon first use. Eclipse ESP cards are plastic. These should have been too.
-As long as the tutorial is, most of it is complete filler. Cards across? ACR? C'mon.
-Some of the emotion cards should have been renamed. Yuck, Zest, Xenophobia? Spectators are intelligent and many will detect something is off.

Overall, I am happy with these because they encourage me to be creative. However, there are some big issues that prevent it from ultimately becoming a worker.

Great Lecture & Marking System Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on February 5th, 2024
Pros:
- Great marking system. Phill Smith never disappoint.
- Overkill. Lots of information to play with.
- Hours of lecture from experts.

Cons:
- For $40, you get 26+2 cards only and mediocre paper cover which bends easily. Could be related to efficiency. I would like to have 52 cards and hardcase for this price tag.

A real Banger Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on March 6th, 2024
I'm 30 min into the tutorial already performing 3 different routines and it's been a smash hit.

-Mentaslim routine
-No memorization
-Almost 30 different cards, all with unique words and no memory needed (bears repeating!)
- A book Test built into the cards
- Connect to your audience with emotions that don't feel like another card trick
- A unique combination of good and bad words with great visual reveal.
-Tons of routines (lol already getting into it and love how easy they are to follow)

A fellow magician review channel said this is the best Craig Pettys trick of all time. This very well might be true cause it's good lol.
Check out other reviews too, but this seems gold to me and I can already tell will be used and not a shelf sitter!

Reignited a love for magic and Mentalism Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 2nd, 2024
This is at least to date the best marked deck, the best tutorial and routines I've purchased.

You get 9 hours of tutorial I believe.

Craig Petty brings in multiple mentalists like Peter Nardi and Pete Turner.

I learned so much and got so many different ideas just from the tutorials.

Its worth the money just for the content in the tutorial.

Craig Petty teaches you routines, sleight of hand and more.


The cards feel amazing and high quality.

The marking system is devious and hides in plain sight.

There's so much built in to the deck it's just awesome.

I felt like a real mentalist after learning some of the routines and the marking system.

I plan on re watching the tutorials over and over again for ideas on mentalism.

I have nothing but absolute praise for this!

Just amazing Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on February 7th, 2024
This project can use so much of what you know and allows you to make those tricks much better. So many adaptations of card tricks go welll and add a personal touch. There’s really no limit on what you can do with these cards.

Mostly home runs with one big strike Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 27th, 2024
I love everything about this deck and the routines it empowers, but there is one pretty big downfall for me personally — the color. The strongest routines, to my taste, are based on differentiating between the positive emotions and the negative emotions, where the positive emotions are colorful and the negative emotions are black and white. The problem is that the colors are not very saturated on the positive images. They are actually fairly washed out. And the black and white images aren’t black and white — they’re tinted blue — which makes them stand out from the colored cards even less. If Murphy’s does a second printing of these cards, I would highly encourage them to tweak the artwork to make the color/b&w contrast much more striking. The OOTW routines, which is what I purchased this for, fall flat without a striking and discernible contrast.

Lots of ways to use this Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 24th, 2024
I like this deck, it's got several powerful ways to get ahead of your spectators, it's basically a half deck of cards, and a person can choose one by looking at them or random choice, and you will know what picture they see, what word is on the card as the title... each card is like a tiny inspirational poster, and they are great for making a connection with an audience member. I performed this once, and had very strong reactions before even doing anything magical. It's not perfect, you will probably think of ways this would be better if YOU made it, but it's nice, well made stuff, with heart. It does NOT LOOK LIKE MAGIC PROPS at all, it's twice as portable as a deck of cards and nobody will roll their eyes at it like oh no another card trick.
It's quite nice and if you have any ability at all it can make miracles happen.
