So back to X Eureka, seems the general concenses is it is a worth while purchase. There are so many ACAAN's coming onto the market, does this stack up in the top 5?

The Berglas book is excellent. Some will dismiss it, not realizing the effectiveness of David's approach to magic. It's really an approach meant for a more mature mind in magic. That's not to say David's ways are the only ways, but rather that those seeking moves and palpable methodology will not see the possibilities right in front of them.
It's all in the reflexes.

How does Asi Wind's ACAAN in his book Chapter One rate amongst these other top choices?

FINALLY a performance! Thank you entermagic. That looked pretty clean to me. I hope it plays that clean all the time. From the talk of needing a group I thought the number selection played out like Woody Aragon's acaan, but I am delighted that it does not. While I love Max Krause's MACAAN, I am not fond of the pocket space involved. I am definitely considering this.

I know doriancaudal
I bought the dvd already But that's why we as magicians don't see a performance beforehand and the DVD seems to show nothing new because it is in the MUM magazine wich ive got.... seems to be the same method Hopefully I will get the dvd in a week .them iam able to compare it to the method in the MUM Mag |

It does appear to have some similarities to Barrie Richardson's in it's foundational principle, though I can't be certain. It does look quite good. Barrie has one version that requires no calculations and allows the spectator to do all of the dealing. I suspect the spectator could do some of the dealing with Roberto's version if the magician so chooses.
It's all in the reflexes.

From watching the performance, looks like this is a tabled version of Danny Garcias C.A.A.N, from his first set of Garcia Projects. I'm not sure if Garcia was the first to use this method but Eureka doesn't seem original to me. However, I could be wrong.

I believe it's his Impromptu Card At Any Number and the performer deals the cards. If Illucifer is talking about that two deck version from "Theater of the Mind" then now I get it (at least I think so).
