ACAAN (Any Card At Any Number) by Stephen Tucker

Postby Johnny Bravo » Sep 29th, '06, 02:04



Has anyone bought either the hard version or the e book version of this, sounds great, there's a few mixed reviews on magic cafe, some favourable but would really like to know what anyone here thinks of it???

Hope someones got it 'cos I NEED TO KNOW 8)

(NEW!) ACAAN (Any Card At Any Number) - You table a cased deck, then remove a small, thin note-pad from your shirt pocket and ask one person to name ANY card. Let's assume he says, "The Queen of Spades." You record this on the pad. You next ask a second person to name ANY number from 1 to 52. Let's assume this person says, "22". You record this too, then pick up the cased deck. You remove the cards and show that they are all different. You hand the deck to one of them, and ask that he deals down to the 22nd card... it's the Queen of Spades!
If you would like to inject a little comedy into the routine... once the card and number have been named, you can explain that you have a giant playing card in your pocket (or an envelope) and ask if everyone would be impressed if the named card was on its face, and the named number was on its back? When they reply... you remove the card and... ALL 52 card faces are printed on its face and ALL the numbers from 1 to 52 are printed on its back!

At this point you must allow at least five minutes for the laughter to subside?

I have this, however, have not really used it much in real world situations as it does not fit in at the moment. For that reason I cannot currently give an accurate review for the lack of spectator responce. I will say that it is very clever and I'm sure I will include the piece at some point. When I do, if not reviewed already I will post one for you.
Incedentally, if anyone else has this, please pm me as I would be interested in your take on this and presentation.

I thinking of getting this but there are two versions an e version for £12 & a hard version for £25 so do I need the hard version or am I likely to have what I need anyway...

Also handling can you give it a diffuculty rating, any awkward sleights?
