I do not know what I will be doing in reference to selling this. only because my thoughts on magic are very different. I believe magic is too easily accessed. I may take a page out of armando lucero's book and make a workshop for real students. but as of right now, I do it in my show. and that is it

I just saw it too on Skype... I said "Ten of Diamonds", and then "19", he asked if I wanted to change my mind for the number I named, I said no... He counted down the cards, in full view, and it matched! Good job Mark

Entermagic, if you want to see the effect then message me or better yet track me down in my hometown, but I would respectfully ask to stop fishing for a method on this post.
I have shown enough people under the fairest conditions (not leaving frame, unboxing slowly, doing it twice). I can tell you that I don't need to prove it to anyone and I will in fact be stopping my Skype performances soon. Basically because I don't plan on selling my effect and don't care who believes or doesn't believe that I am doing what I'm doing. In the end there will always be skeptics and non believers, and those nonbelievers aren't worth talking to. They are in magic for the wrong reasons. Believe me entermagic, you will not learn this method, as most will not, only because those who will want to learn will seek the way to learn. Mark Calabrese |

Entermagic, I didn't post this. someone saw my effect and decided to speak well of me. douglas, someone has said the exact same thing, and I proved I'm the only one in the room and the only deck in play is the one I'm using. so once again. if you don't believe, then that's your opinion. I am only showing people bc they ask. not to try and hype something I am not selling. I will be selling a WORKSHOP in the future, when I don't know. but not anytime soon

Mark I tried all day yesterday on Skype. You never answered. I'll try now.
vinny Posted: Mar 10, 2011 5:25pm ------------------------------------ I just spoke to Mark the effect is the best I have ever seen and is as described. He made a believer out of me..., the only two criteria he did not do was one he handled the deck but it was very very fair and second did not shuffle the cards. But in all fairness to Mark, I did not ask for the deck to be shuffled. Other than that, I would say this is the closest effect the the grail as possible. vinny |

Thank you. vinny, I only handled the deck because you physically were not in the room to handle it yourself.if you asked to deal yourself I wouldve let you and if you asked for me to shuffle beforehand I would have. but I'm glad you like it nonetheless

Yes I started this thread. I have been following the ACAAN for many many years. I knew that most of everyone here would appreciate the fine art of magic and would spark interest in this wonderful grail. Congrats to you my friend Mark! Thanks for your time showing the community your grail!

I managed to speak to Mark tonight via Skype. He showed me his effect OSCAAN.
This is the single best version of ACAAN I have seen ever. He had a single deck which was in view the whole time. He asked me to name a card and a number. 10C & 31. He then counted out to the 31st card in full view and BAM. To me this is exactly how ACAAN should be. Clean, simple, amazing. We then chatted for a good while about magic and aired our views on certain subjects. It was an absolute pleasure to talk to Mark. He is a genuinely nice guy with good morals. To be honest as much as I would love and hope to be able to perform this very effect, I admire Marks decisions with regards to how and who he will let in on the effect, if he ever does. It felt really good to be so seriously fooled. Thanks Mark. It was a pleasure. All the best Jay |

Ustaad. you took both quotes out of context BOTH times. the first quote was a correction a typo of the previous post. and the 2nd quote was explaining that my method is not just a dvd or a ebook for the masses. I put a lot of work into my material and I think if all magicians held on tightly to their work as I am then magic as a whole would be in a better place. I'm not saying I have the answer to this all. I am not saying my ways of thinking are the best. but you have to admit, that if we as a brotherhood protected out art better then how we do, magicians wouldnt be looked down upon in the general public and the magic fraternity itself. the catch 22 of it all is , if I put thise out to the masses I would get criticized on bad or poor judgement. and if I don't put it out, I get criticized and deemed an a**hole for not givin away secrets or at least giving to the community. so I think by me being a little bit of a bad guy, I have my cake and eat it too. not knocking anyone on the Café, or in magic personally, just in general. I think its ok to be facist when I comes to art, and especially when it is your own art.

Mark, I am sorry for the unnecessary abuse you have been subjected to on the Café. It seems to me that you have gone WELL above and beyond the call of duty...for something you don't owe to anyone!
All the best to you.

Ustaad I couldn't agree with you more. but its one thing to share to those who deserve the knowledge and then there are those who RAPE magic with torrent sites and priating and burning dvds. I think there is a difference in what I'm saying. I don't mean to take magic to the grave, I meant that with magic there are secrets that should be closely gaurded and gievn to only those who seek it for the right reasons. and who will use it wisely. also if instead of younger magii putting out one move videos or material that isn't polished and just rushed out there for the money I think magic would be in a better place. that's is all I meant.
but believe me ustaad I don't want magic to die. cheers Mark Calabrese |

One could only hope. there is even a trick that sold for 1000$ that can still be found on a torrent site.

I found entermagic's comments a little annoying, even though I'm a little skeptic too.
