What is ACAAN? A coincidence effect? A prediction? A lucky guess?

Welcome to "Eristic", the World´s Easiest Mindreading ACAAN

A shuffled deck of cards in use (it can be borrowed)
The participant thinks in a number and in a playing card
You read the participant minds and you receive telepathically the 2-digit number and the playing card...and you are able to reveal both information using the deck of cards as dramatic element.

A new fantastic lesson in realistic and casual mindreading using an ordinary deck of cards

No gimmicks
No stacks
No memorization
No psychological unreliable techniques
100% Impromptu
Practical, perfect for walkaround
The participant does the counting
No forces
No DR or IS

The title doesn’t disappoint! It’s the easiest ACAAN you could do. It’s simple, but it’s very effective for a lay audience. It isn’t going to fool your magician friends, but luckily, most professionals rarely work for magicians.

I think Pablo has added some nice subtleties in it which aid in the deceptiveness a bit.

Admittedly, this won’t be replacing the ACAAN’s I currently use (most notably, Crusade) but it is nice to have in the back of the head in case someone wants to see the trick.

Don’t let the simplicity fool you. The KISS principle applies itself beautifully here. Simple, but effective. I should mention though, it’s not a TRUE ACAAN. They select a number and st the same time select a card. So they don’t name either choice which is the biggest downfall of this routine. But if you perform it correctly, I don’t think they will remember exactly how the choice was made.

Thanks Maddy!
As always, your feedback is appreciated and on-point.

I love when the handling is so economical that the opportunities of "Shaping Memory" is huge. Indeed, after the present experience of "Eristic", the memory from the participant is:
"I think of a number, I think of a playing card, he read my mind and place my thought of card in the thought of number".

One of the key aspects of ACAAN (and in any routine really) is to be able to shape the events to our own desire, and this is highly achievable with his handling and approach.

Eristic ACAAN does exactly what it says on the tin.. It’s a wonderful exercise in elegance and how simple methods can yield disproportionately strong results. It’s another example of how Pablo thinks audience-first, leaving complicated ‘magician-pleasing’ method aside for something of great clarity and impact. The tips Pablo gives for the ‘mind reading’ part of the routine are ones I will take with me into other routines, and Eristic is certainly one I’ll keep in my back pocket for those off-guard moments.
