Steve, you are consistently the best Magic content on CZcams. Never stop never stopping!
I agree. He is amazing
So kind. And it means a great deal. Thanks both of you.
Add me to this party. 100% agreed.
Thanks for the great review mate. Honestly you are the best reviewer on CZcams
Glad you see the potential and I’m sorry for the 9 hours 🤣🤣🤣
Too kind Craig. Thank you. Such a lovely think this is.
This looks great, might have to get it, thank you for the lecture you did
:)
Thank you 🙏 Steve
I wouldn't wish 9 hours of Craig "I certainly live up to my last name" Petty on my worst enemy.
My wife would probably tend to agree
@@magic-tv 😂
btw, thanks for mentioning the vision considerations as well.
I was late to the party! Out of stock at Alakazam! Patiently waiting! Cant wait!
When Alakazam opened for business yesterday morning, I was on the phone ordered this item straight away and at only £31 a great price for what you get here. ..deck of the year for me so far but Blackpool is around the corner. Thank you for your comprehensive review.
Seriously thank you
Hey thanks and totally agree. Really amazing value.
What a fantastic review. You touched on some of the issues that someone could have with this type of effect. I generally don't like motivational posters very much. They "evoke" images of American style motivational speakers. Pretty guys in Armani suits and bleached teeth. Fortunately Craig is not one of those. This release looks really good.
Thanks Steve, agree with most of what you point out - even if there is still some hours to go in the tutorial. But honestly apart from having the thoughts of really great people about ways to use this deck - the main value is to find your own way of using it and to become aware of your own emotions and relation with magic.
Of course one can use it just for a „trick“ and there are things built into it for doing that but for the deeper (and more powerful) stuff it is always good to first ask yourself why are you doing it. And you become aware that a lot of the deceptions are not needed anymore and that you can now ride without the training wheels and start creating real magic. Thanks 🙏🏻
Great points
Completely agree and love the versatility. So much to be explored.
I am from Spain and I don't speak English, is that a disadvantage to perform the routines of this deck?
Sounds amazing 🎉 trick of the year already lol
As a mentalist, I immediately saw how awesome this tool would be. I honestly could not wait to purchase it.
This could have been a deck with just emotions on it and it would have been great. Trained mentalists can use immediately, beginners have a cheat code to perform effects that I trained for years to achieve. This does not remove the need for the psychology subtleties needed to perform great mentalism experiences.
While the “100th monkey effect” is not the true 100th monkey method, you could get an outcome similar for lay people (dual reality). I perform 100th monkey often and it is more nuanced than this.
Thanks Steve for your honest review and your years of training and mentorship.
Thanks very much for seeing the potential in this deck
Yep agreed. It's similar effect, but understand the difference. A nice addition though. Thanks for your useful comment and kind words. Have a great one 🙂
I just purchased 2 decks.
Thanks very much
Steve, I don't believe that one of the two extra cards uses the 100th Monkey principle. The effect may be similar but the method is completely different (and quite primitive).
The two extra cards (no double backer which is a real disappointment) therefore seem to be superfluous leaving effectively a half deck of 26 cards for the price of a full deck. Better to make a thick card / double backer from them. That said the many concepts built into the 26 cards look great and the ideas to use them are good, but it would be nice to have more cards for the money.
Thanks for the comment. I wanted to include something a little more creative than a double backer but if this wasn’t the best idea I’m very sorry
Yeah it's simpler. But got a lovely response playing with it after I recorded my review. So a nice bonus. I reckon it's a really good price and maybe we'll be able to get some extras.
Lovely. I ordered mine on it's release. $40 for a card collection of unique properties and teaching of an incredible amount of mentalism and card handling techniques probably make this the deal of the century. Thanks, Steve for your heartfelt explanations .
Interesting point re: lots of download content v less download content. Intuitively getting more content sounds fab and of course you can always pick and choose what you want to watch. It's nice to have the choice. I'd caveat 'the more the better' point with how many people have the time to watch lots of content or actually ever get round to watching. Think it's a moot point which ever way you lean. Be interested in what others think.
Yes I think you can't really have too much. As anything can inspire an idea. I'm just jokey moaning as a reviewer! But genuinely, I like the idea of longer content.
looking forward to buying see you at B pool cant wait
Thanks!
Yay!
Note on ootw…The greatest OOTW hands down is Michael Murrays!
Ooh I haven't seen. Where can I find it?
Never understood the hype on Petty. He’s average, at best, but has a following so he gets exposure. As always, a brilliant review, though
Well it shows anyone not matter how average can win multiple awards, be a best selling creator, perform at the highest level and run a company generating tens of thousands of gigs a year.
I must be an inspiration to so many
@@magic-tv I don't love everything that Craig Petty has released, but there's no denying he has released at LEAST a half dozen of the greatest magic releases of the last decade. I'm beyond grateful for his prolific output, because it includes some of my favorite magic that I use in the real world.
Craig Petty IS magic!
Cheers! You are to
It seems OK, but even if it was fantastic, due to the hype, I'll not be getting it.
Your prerogative. Ever watched a movie with a trailer and marketing budget attacked to it? Isn’t that the same thing
@@magic-tv No, it's not the same thing. It doesn't matter though, I'm sure you'll sell loads of these, just not to me. I have a hard and fast rule when it comes to magic: "do not buy anything that needs hype to sell it"
@@MexieMex @magic-tv Does raise an interesting set of questions:
When does marketing cross over into hype?
Would a novel/quality product sell without a degree of hype? (or sell as well)
Can too much hype ever be counter productive to selling a product?
Maybe make a good discussion video for youtube.
@@martinscircusskillsworkshops I think good products can (and do) sell themselves. I always find the more something is hyped the less confidence the producers of it actually have in it's ability to sell (despite their claims), hence their desperation to try an push it before people work out it's actually a bit duff. That's the funny thing here, I'm sure this would have (and will regardless) sell very well, but Craig and Murphies find pointless hype more adictive than crack cocaine.
@@MexieMexI’m not sure how it’s hype though when I’ve literally told everyone helps the whole thing works
Normally you hype people into buying something they later on isn’t good. How can that be the same thing?
