Hmmmm mixed feelings about this. Not sure if I like it or not. Guess I'll have to try it out to see if it is going to be something I use or not. The main problem I see is that you can really only perform this for one spectator.

That said, it was only $1.50 and I think that is a good price for what the effect is.

I'm not really sure what you mean by have another one read. But yes, you could use two if one said the number and one said the card.

Performed this on a fellow magician who I am a counsellor for. Showed it to him the morning after I bought it. His mind was mush. Buy This. Buy It Now.
That's not your card? What do you mean it's not your card...? Well that's your own fault for forgetting it was your card.

Would be nice to have a thorough review of this one!

Does it fulfill all the ACAAN criteria?

I'll give as full a review of the effect as I can.

A deck can be borrowed from a spectator.

It can be thoroughly shuffled by the spectator.

You don't add anything

You could count from the top of the deck or the bottom of the deck.

The spectator can count the cards.

Any card can be named

Any number can be named

You (seemingly) never touch the deck

The downside is that it can only be performed for 1 person. 2 at the absolute most. This is EXTREMELY bold. The method hides in the fact that its SO simple, it will get completely over looked.

I can't wait to try it out.

It would be almost impossible to shoot a demo of this. You would have to use some fancy videoing.

To be honest guys... At £1 and the strength of the effect, what have you got to lose?

Just read this... Well, what I like the most in this effect is the presentation, the story. This story is told while the spectator imagines things with his closed eyes. Now for the method: it is really bold, but it will work.

Imho, I think there are many better ACAANs on the market, much more direct, without touching the deck (here the magician HAS to touch the deck).

For the price this is still a good idea, good presentation plot, and as it is said you can apply that to some other things.
