Modern Oracle - John Cottle & Chris Rawlins

Modern Oracle is unlike anything you’ve seen before. Inspired by the world-famous Magic 8 Ball, we’ve created a deck of cards disguised as an oracle—one that always knows the answer to every question.

Not only that but Modern Oracle will help you understand secret thoughts of your audiences.

This special prop has an enchanting story, a playful presentation and ends in an impossible conclusion. This is unlike anything you have seen before.

Each card is secretly marked, putting you in complete control at all times. Thanks to its ingenious design, the markings can be read from a distance—even while the cards are in your spectator’s hands.

Beyond that, Modern Oracle is also a highly deceptive peek device, opening up limitless possibilities for your performances. Reveal any object, any word, any name, any number… anything! And the best part? The method is so deceptive that you can openly show your audience how it works—yet they’ll never see it.

The Core Routine – You introduce this mystical oracle that knows the answer to every question you can ask it. It always knows. You invite your friend to shuffle the oracle and ask it a question, maybe 2 or 3. They really shuffle, and they really ask the questions. Impossibly, the oracle gives accurate answers, every time. You then ask them to think about something (a place, person, object, number, name, anything!) and with the oracles help you perfectly understand the secret thought.

This is impossible, surprising, unique, extremely easy and hugely entertaining.

You’ll receive the specially designed Modern Oracle deck and box, along with a professionally shot 77-minute tutorial that leaves no stone unturned.

"Chris Rawlins is back at it again! Another mentalism deck hidden within something that you would find at toy store: a magical 8 ball turn into a deck of cards. It even hides peek device within the box. If you have a game box or shelf at your house, you should have these hidden gems ready at a moments notice" - Jiro Resident Magician at Stevens Magic Emporium
