Well hello to all my people in interwebs land who read my blog. Its me again back with a video not sure if you will enjoy it or not its up to you. If you don’t enjoy it its your fault not mine.
What’s in the video I hear you ask. Well let me answer that for you before you watch. As some of you will know in magic there’s a plot called Any Card At Any Number (ACAAN for short and sometimes known as the Berglas effect) which was made famous a number of years ago by David Berglas a number of years ago and has been kept a secret until recently when it was published in a book by written by David Britland and published by Jim Steinmeyer called The Mind & Magic of David Berglas (which I believe is now out of print 3 months after its release but I may be wrong)
The main idea of Any Card At Any Number is that a card is thought of, a number between 1 and 52 is thought of, and finally the named card is revealed at the predicted position in the deck.
Here is some good ACAANS I have came across some hands off (hands off means magician “doesn’t” touch the cards) and some not . One of my favourites to perform is one of the first magic tricks I ever learned and to this day I still perform it regularly. Another good ACAAN is one by a magician called Danny Garcia titled CAAN which can be found on one of the first 3 projects he did.(think its disk 3 not 100% sure). Last ACAAN I really recommend is one by Matt Mello which can be found on the first disk of his 2 DVD set Modern Metalism (really recommend the DVD set). Really like this one because its so simple and I have had great fun performing. There are a few more I like by Steven Tucker and Wayne Dobson. Well I think that’s enough information on ACAAN`s if you want to know where to buy any of the stuff I have mentioned then leave me a message and I will be more than happy to sort you out with the source.
I have always been a fan of self working and hands off Any Card At Any Number. So I thought I would make this comedy video based on the Any Card At Any Number so please enjoy and have a Happy Halloween.
