The performer announces that he wants to perform two classic effects with a deck of playing cards: ACAAN and Think of a card.

In order to do this, he asks the first spectator to name any card and any number and another one to shuffle a borrowed deck of cards. When the second spectator finishes to shuffle the deck, the performer instructs the spectator to look through the deck and to think of one of them.

Now the performer asks the first spectator to take the deck and to count as many cards as his named number. At the named number will be the named card.

After the ACAAN part the magician takes the deck and spreads it on the table. He asks the second spectator to check the location of her card. He turns his face away. Then in a classic manner the performer divines correctly the card thought of.

This method works without any stooges or pre-show work and with any deck.

The updated version includes two more effects “Mind Scam” and “Game Over”.

Bonus effect: OPARN

This is just a simple hands-off Open Prediction effect. The effect is as follows:

The performer asks the spectator to shuffe a borrowed deck of cards and then he makes a prediction openly. Now, with a random process, a number is selected. The performer instructs the spectator to deal face-up the cards and to put the card at the selected number face-down and to continue to deal all cards face-up.

The only card face-down will be the prediction.

Additional bonus effects:

  • Arcane Coincidence: An interesting handling for ACAAN or OP effect.
  • Destiny is back
  • Behind the Scam
  • Duplicity (If this version interests you then you should also check out Double Scam by Michael Daniels.)
  • Mental Trip
  • Mental Trip 2
  • Beyond Subtle Scam
  • TC ACAAN (This this very pratical and direct for a full impromptu “Any” Card At “Any” Number routine.)

“Tommy has some really great ways of approaching the Any Card At Any Number problem. His thinking is always very clever and original. If you are an ACAAN fan then you’ll enjoy reading and performing his ideas.” – Marc Paul“A terrific PDF chock full of creative ideas for the ACAAN effect. I’m already working on my own version based on some of these concepts!” – Cameron Francis
