Brehaut,
You're absolutely right. I've only had the pleasure of meeting Mr Berglas once, but all I could think about while chatting to him was that glove compartment! |

So cost is relative. Yes it was a limited edition. No--it wasn't preorder only. Copies have been sold after the preorder. One last comment about Inspired. I have sold over 30 copies. I have been thrilled with the reviews. There has only been one negative review from someone who actually purchased it. I have had many private emails telling me how they are using so much of the material and even Peter Turner mentioned Inspired during his amazing Penguin Lecture. Most negative comments about Inspired's price came from those who did not buy it. With regard to Devil's ACAAN I plan to do something much different with it's release Thanks |

Brehaut, can you answer these questions please (sorry to insist), but I think this is important for all of us to see before the purchase...
1 - Is the deck on the table/drawer/somewhere else before the effect or is the deck seen after card and number are named? 2 - Is the card REALLY freely named? 3 - Is the number REALLY freely named? 4 - Normal deck? Stacked deck? Gimmicked deck? 5 - Do the cards need to be handled after the card and number are named? 6 - Who deals the cards: magician or spectator? 7 - Can the spectator or magician immediately turn the card at the number named? 8 - Are the cards dealt face up or face down?

No gimmicks 4) spectator deals the cards 5) I don't know what your number 7 means 6) cards can be dealt face up or face down |

1) An open glove compartment! Better than Berglas!
3) What happened to 2? 2) Ah, there it is. |

Just realized I missed one---the cards do not need to be handled after the card and number are selected

Thanks for all your answers, brehaut, that is really appreciated
Can you also tell us if there is extra stuff involved other than the cards, for example pen, paper, sheets, notepads, notebooks, or anything else other than the pack of cards ?

Sounds as if we are once again entering holy grail territory. It will be fascinating to see where your compromise has occurred. I wish you luck with this, brehaut.

As usual, it sounds like real magic (holy grail) until that 'one other thing' that isn't mentioned comes into play. I'm sure it plays exactly like your description to spectators (which is all that really matters) but I'm going to go on a limb and suggest you're leaving something out. Sorry, I don't mean to be a jerk. I've just lived and learned. Of course I'd love to be wrong. Best of luck.

Of course there will be a compromise! But that's the beauty and originality of every ACAAN effect.

If brehaut wasn't "leaving something out" he'd be out turning water into wine not releasing a count down to a card trick.

And as a creator myself, I believe we should absolutely be able to hold back information that would reveal our secrets. But there's a world of difference between withholding information and asserting information that is not true. In other words, you don't have to give all the information, but the information you do give should be truthful. I'm assuming the information below is false. Either all of these conditions can be met. Or they can't. And if a condition can't be met, I believe you shouldn't list it as a condition that can be met. I'm not quite sure how anyone could argue otherwise. But if you disagree, I'd love to hear why. 1. only one ungimmicked deck/case is used- it's set down in full view. 2. magician never touches deck again (I'm going to assume this means magician and anyone else in the room but the spectator). 3. spectator freely names any card and number. 4. spectator picks up deck and counts down to that number and flips over the card to find it's their card.
