Actually your first post says "no force at all"
You could do it with an R&S deck but there is technically a force involved

Yeah I got a MC deck from CardMaker. By luck I mean avoiding a spec who will get too inquisitive when shuffling or accidentally drop any cards while doing it...

I think a CAAN version using MC Deck was in Expert Card Technique as i mentioned a similar ruse around a year back re "GRAIL DECK".

Its a small paragragh and i was also surprised that no one ever picked up on it ( if memory serves me correct)

I used the principle with a few cards only and it does fool in an Ambit card routine i know that

I'm not familiar with all of the decks mentioned, but a svengali or a r&s svengali ought to be usable for the description.

It does sound like there is a lot missing from that description, and how it is the best case scenario, but would not happen if any number of random things that are likely to take place actually take place. As Stoner pointed out, if the spec drops a card or two whilst shuffling, etc.
As sleightly mentioned, one could perform the routine exactly as decribed with a Svengali deck, but only as long as the spectator never looks at the faces, dribbles them in the exact way I ask them too when a) displaying them all different, and b) making their selection. There's a lot of factors that make it entirely impractical to consider it a viable excercise.

But hey, I wish you all the luck in the world in convincing the magical fraternity that you have solved the riddle that is "The Berglass Effect" and make a big huge pile of money doing so. Or that you get the respect of your peers that you seemingly covet so much with these "I have this secret that you don't, look how clever I am" threads that pop up with your name on.

Is it like your Indian Rope Trick where you can only do it at night in the dark?

Im confused? what is this a quiz for us to guess the method? or a boast for you to say you have The perfect ACAAN effect.

If im honest im sure your ACAAN is very good (If it is how you have described it) but it seems this thread is like this:

You: This is my ACAAN

Us: Its this

you: no

Us: well then this

You: no (Head grows)

Us: well, you can do it like this

You: Im not doing it like that (Head gets bigger) my way is far superior and super rare - (even bigger head) (hence why it has been printed on the rarest cards of all...red bikes?!)

Us: well you can try this, or it could be published here

you: nope and I'm not telling you. (and then you wander off to the bathroom to clean up your exploded head)


im just confused at the point of this post?

Out of interest i think David Regal uses a Prophesy Deck for his CAAN, like that sold my M Yedid, although you can make one up. Like many tricks , audience management is the key. I think Regal does a deck switch anyway

Why not accomplish this same effect by controlling the selected card to top, palming it(tenkai),let them shuffle and use the same method as Ben Seidman´s.
