The Effect: (What they Say)
Finally…
An ACAAN which is perfectly suited to Mystery performers!
Take your spectator on a journey of the mind they will never forget and perform one of the cleanest ACAAN’s you will have ever seen.
ACAAN of the Mind is perfect for those impromptu situations when you are alone with a friend or two and one of them asks you the question…
“Show me something.”
And you will…you will show them something that is sure to make them believe you are a true Mystery performer and someone truly gifted.
As long as you have a pack of cards or you can borrow one…you will be ready to perform a miracle they will never forget.
As you can probably imagine...this has become so much more than just another 'trick'...it's been given the 'Black Twist' and become something else entirely...and requires NO sleight of hand leaving you to just concentrate on your performance.
This is not for table-hopping or such...and the method is not 100% sure fire proof...this is just one of those routines you will save for the perfect opportunity to use...this is a routine for those of you that enjoy creating real moments of wonder when people least expect it.
This is something to be saved...and used sparingly.
If you have enjoyed Anthony Black's other releases you will love the thinking and scripting behind this as Anthony delivers one of his boldest methods ever.
Cost:£1.00 (That isn't a typo, yes it is ONLY ONE POUND) available as an instant download from Anthony Black at

Difficulty:(1=easy to do, 2=No sleights, but not so easy, 3=Some sleights used,

Either a 1 or a 2, this really depends on whether you have magicians guilt or balls of steel.
Review: (What I say)
I am a big fan of Anthony's work and own everything that he has released to date. I enjoy his thinking and his to the point delivery. You will not find any superfluous word padding in his work, which can be so prominent in the meanderings of other artist in our field.
This has been described elsewhere as a marmite effect, either you will love it or hate it. I hate marmite but love this. It is Bold, I mean really
bold! But, if you have the balls to try it out then the most difficult part of the effect will be keeping the stupid grin off of your face.
I was hoping to road test this on my partner when I got in from work. Unfortunately she has gone to bed for the evening with bird-flu, so I'll have to try it out over the weekend. When I have given it a whirl I will post with how I got on.
The Verdict:I'll hold back on marks out of 10 until I get to try this out. Having said that, I am confident that this will play strong and this is in my opinion well worth the pound that I spent on it.
