Craig Petty & Phil Smith are BACK and they’ve cooked up a doozy with possibly their most devious and powerful collaboration to date. This blockbuster is where Magic meets Mentalism, creating a piece that’s as versatile as it is jaw-dropping.
FOCUS kicks off as a seemingly ordinary set of Movie Trivia Cards. But wait! Beneath the quotes and poster art, you’ll find a treasure trove of magical plot twists that every film buff will go bananas over!
BASIC
- Instantly pinpoint the exact movie someone has in mind.
- Flex your mental muscle to tell them the year their flick hit the screens.
ADVANCED MASTERY
- Get your audience to latch onto a single, genuine word from the film, and you can effortlessly reveal what they're thinking!
- Read their minds with actual quotes from the films they love.
GOD TIER- Reveal info that’s not even on the cards! (Pssttt.. More on this later.)
What makes FOCUS so powerful? It’s simple: Lay people might not have a favourite playing card, but EVERYONE has a favourite movie.
FOCUS helps you find common ground with your audience, grabbing their attention right out of the gate. And once you’re rolling... things go from wild to downright bonkers!
With this deck’s myriad secrets, let’s break it down for you in the simplest terms:
- The Mother Of All Book tests is built in with REAL quotes from each film.
- The deck is in an alphabetical and cyclical stack. This means you can figure out what card someone has picked just by peeking at the secret info on the back of the next card.
- Know the card they’re holding or the one before or after.
- Marked numerically.
- Know the movie they’re thinking of.
- The year it was released.
- The first few words of each quote.
- And here’s the kicker — information that’s NOT EVEN ON THE CARDS, like the director and box office figures.
When we at Murphy's heard about that last feature, we nearly lost our minds! We’ve never seen a deck that marks info not on the cards, and it took us a moment to grasp its power. Because if your audience ever thinks you’re sneaking a peek at their chosen movie card, you knowing stuff that isn’t even on the card utterly obliterates any methods they could imagine.
Honestly, this unique feature alone is worth the price of the deck.
And if that wasn’t enough, we’ve stashed secret reveals in the box, plus there’s a brilliant visual trick featuring Slimer from Ghostbusters, where he literally jumps off the movie cards and scuttles through the deck to find their selection. This trick alone could stand as a product in its own right, but we’ve included it as just another delightful bonus in this extraordinary project.
Bring that cinematic magic straight into the hands and minds of your audience — with you as the star!
But don’t just take our word for it; here’s what some of the best mentalists and magicians are raving about FOCUS.
"Focus is fantastic. It looks like a genuine pack of movie quiz cards, but has more secrets built into than Criss Angel's stooge budget. Smith has gotten so good that the card markings now contain information that isn't even in the deck! And Petty has created 40,000 hours worth of killer new material exclusive to this deck! Or something. Either way, magicians and mentalists are going to absolutely LOVE this."-
Mark Elsdon"Film is something we can all relate to. Trivia games, we can all relate to. What Craig has done is taken these and injected them with some of the most powerful magic and mentalism concepts you can think of! If you are looking for a relatable, strong, real world piece of magic, THIS is it!"-
Michael O'Brien"Ok...this is insane! This is the Movie Deck I have been waiting for! A deck of movie and movie quotes that allow you to perform tons of routines and engage your audience in a fun and entertaining way! This release deserves an Oscar!"-
Luca Volpe"Craig Petty and Phill Smith are an unstoppable force of nature. They understand what it takes to create a product of quality and strength, and they have proven this time and time again. FOCUS is yet another example of this, marrying subterfuge with subtlety. Bravo, utterly brilliant."-
Eric Stevens"Absolutely genius idea that every magician and mentalist will want to perform. Using repeatable movie posters is just brilliant and the range of devious effects is incredible."-
John Morton"I'm always amazed by your creativity, but with Focus you've really outdone yourself! This opens up so many possibilities and astonishing reveals. The amount of information that you & Phil have built into the design of these cards is incredible. This is the perfect substitute for performers who want to move away from a deck of playing cards and add more meaning and connection to their reveals. It's outstanding!"-
Marc Paul"Craig and Phil have done it again! This utility deck does it all and its movie theme gives it an instant hook. It's time to Focus on your next great performance! Absolutely brilliant!"-
Roddy McGhie"Craig's latest blockbuster is epic in every way. Hugely relatable, vastly versatile and massively fun. Plus, there's Phill Smith's visionary design and more tricks than you can shake a popcorn bucket at. Focus will be a huge success."-
Oliver Meech"Craig is fast becoming the king of marked decks!! I'm an actor who's been in movies and a magician.....this is literally the perfect trick for me!!! It's absolutely perfect!"-
