Me too...I have no clue to how it happens...and you know what, I don't want to know.. it was a pure piece of magic.
Mark for a young guy of 23 has such mature views on Magic as an art form. This beautiful piece of magic should not go out to the masses and end up on youtube exposed by some bedroom monkey. I would suggest to Mark if he decides to share this, that he makes it available on an exclusive level much like Armando does with his coin matrix...this is fantastic. Watching this live on skype was like the first time I went to Davenports in Great Russell St. as a 9 year old boy and watching Patrick Page make magic happen behind the counter....I am blown away by this. I rarely post on the Café anymore but this has to be said...this is no pipe dream bs story. Cheers Mark

I will believe it when I see it Because it's done through Internet with a webcam, but I wonder if this also works in reality, in the real world...

Yes it was on a webcam but it was clean fast and no fumbling...no webcam trickery it was live. Mark asked me for a number and a card opened the deck and counted in front of me...there was my card end of story...looked *** real to me...no catch

Doriancaudal... 'Looks like', or 'sounds' like. Have you managed to see it performed? Or are you saying that it 'sounds' like John Born's version from the description?

I am also interested if you have seen Mark perform this to you doriancaudal.
Personally I have been studying magic for 35 years and it felt wonderful to be so baffled. I had a long chat with Mark and he is a very serious student of magic. He like me believes in the study of our art not shortcut learning like most young performers seem to favor these days with youtube and dvd emulating...most young guys these days look at you with a blank expression when you ask what magic books they own or when you ask have you studied Vernon? I would suggest if you have not seen Mark perform the effect yet doriancaudal that you try and do so, Mark is a super nice guy. I am not familiar with John Born's method so I cannot comment if there is any simularity there...I just know is was baffled.

No, I have not seen him performed his ACAAN yet, but I cannot wait to discover it! What made me think of JB's version is that you wrote "Mark asked me for a number and a card opened the deck and counted in front of me...", which is exactly like JB's version, but I am certainly wrong, as I did not see it performed (yet!).

It is not John Born's method. The box and cards are inspectable.

So, it is just a variant on JB version (Meant to be... or Flip Shift), gimmick or no gimmick the idea is always the same.

If you read the last post I said it is not the John Born method, which means that it is not the method. It doesn't mean that its a variation or a take on his method. it means it is not the method, plain and simple. It is my method. no one else's.

I said, aside the gimmick the idea is the same, this doesn't mean that you use the same method.

The idea to cut a deck unnoticed in order to bring the desired card to a certain position is a common place in all direct ACAAN versions. That does not mean that there are not some very original and creative approaches. Ken Krenzel with his "Open and Shut case" and John Born's versions are very good examples. And I know and tried all of them having their books. So that says (at least for me) that OSCAAN seems to be another creative solution (including cutting, but who cares...) with a case which is examinable. That's something new! So I don't like to talk it unimportant. Jan

Mark just performed this on webcam for me, and I have to say, I am for the greater part fooled. It's definitely not John Born's. Well done Mark, and thanks for sharing it!

I just saw Mark's Caan (OSCANN) on Skype.
It was amazing. He showed me a deck of cards and spread them with faces towards me. He asked me to name a card and then to name a number. He asked if I wanted to change the number. I said no. He then counted down to that number and turned the card face up and sure enough it was the right card at the right number. Amazing! magiclee |

If the deck isn't switched and there's no sleight of hand I'd say it's real magic. Are you planning on keeping this to yourself or sharing it with the community? Of course if your work is original.

Is there any way to purchase this?
I'm just baffled by a thread about, essentially, watching a webcam perfomance -- and one we can't really discuss because nobody owns the effect. |

I just spent a good 20 minutes with mark and I must say his ACAAN is the best I've seen.
