Yoke by Fraser Parker (Digital Version)
“I’m getting used to using the words ‘Genius’ and ‘Fraser’ in the same sentence. Yoke can be taught and performed within minutes! Literally! This method is SO clean and direct you’ll use it all the time!” – Colin Miller
“This s**t’s dope!” – Evan Titanas
“The problem with code acts is the amount of work you have to put into it to get it to work. Fraser taught me his code in ten seconds. Ten! That’s all it took! And I’ve been performing it ever since. No one will suspect a thing. It’s genius.” – Karan Singh
“Fraser’s method for teaching a card code is sweet simplicity but also deadly! Imagine being able to coach a stranger in a couple of minutes and making them a star? Well now you can. Fantastic!” – John Carey
Yoke is the easiest two-person code for transmitting a thought of a playing card to an accomplice. It takes just thirty to forty seconds to teach and a minute for your partner to get comfortable with the process.
Your accomplice can close their eyes or even leave the room. You spread the deck on the table or in your hands, allowing a spectator to randomly select a card and shuffle the deck, completely losing their card within it.
After shuffling, you hand the deck back to your accomplice, who can instantly locate the exact card the spectator is thinking of. They can change their mind as often as they like before committing to a card, yet they will always accurately divine the spectator’s chosen card.
This system stands apart from other code methods designed for identifying a single playing card, being the simplest, cleanest, and most deceptive approach available.
There’s no need for specific finger placements or unusual deck handling. No complex memory work or convoluted scripts are required. In fact, it can even be performed silently!
Designed for quick learning and retention, Yoke can be mastered in under a minute. Discover why everyone Fraser demonstrated this to at The Session 2019 was first completely fooled, then amazed by the method’s simplicity.
Review: Yoke is a powerful and, when executed correctly, an incredibly deceptive two-person coding system. The beauty of this release lies in its brevity and straightforwardness, making it accessible to performers of all levels. While it is a routine, it avoids complex phrasing and linguistic challenges, allowing for silent performance. The system can be taught quickly, with minimal memory cues needed for the accomplice to reveal the information. Although presentation details are sparse, the possibilities for framing the routine are endless. This intuitive routine is a fantastic choice for those new to two-person coding and is perfect for impromptu performances. Excellent work on this routine.
