Dorian,

Your take on the ACAAN plot sounds very interesting. Would love to read some honest reviews of this one when the manuscript becomes available.

Are you planning to produce a hardcopy book or will it be available in an electronic format?

Bosco

Hi Bosco, it will be a hardcopy book.

Best regards.

Nice.

Sounds good.

Looking forward to seeing your work.

Bosco

Hi Dorian, you can compt on me to buy your method! Both because I know you are an honest guy and you know what your are talking about regarding the acaan plot. I have been following your post on Vitual magie ( see my post as funnyman) I know your are the right person for this job. I have been thinking of an acaan effect for few year but never came closer to the "meant to be system" which is for me the closest one to the grail. Your vidéo intrigue me and I just want to say: dépêche toi de finir ton livre car la curiosité m'empêche de dormir!

Wish you a great sucess with your release.

Cheers!

Thanks mate, hope you will like it Stay tuned.

Any news about this book ?

Regards

Most of the book is written, I am adding nice touches and subtelties at the moment, and I am also working on finishing the figures and the cover.

So, the entire book will be done soon. Then everything will go under a review process.

Thanks for all your emails and your support regarding this first release of mine. I hope you will enjoy it !

One of the most important thing for me in this kind of effect is the JUSTIFICATION, as you will see in the book. How to justify an ACAAN effect ? Why doing that ? How to make it memorable ?

I performed MirACAAN again 3 times during last week:

- (at a gig) : 4 of Spades and 37 were named: the deck that has been sitting on the table, on top of a glass, is taken by the spectator, who is removing the cards. He counts until the 37th card, which is the 4 of Spades !

- (at a gig) : Queen of clubs and 11 were named: without using any phone / business card or whatsoever, I take my deck of cards from my pocket, from the end of my fingers, give it to the spectator, he opens it, and counts out loud until the 10th card. When he turns the 11th card, it is the Queen of Clubs !

- (at a friend's home) : 2 of hearts and 14 were named: the 2 of hearts is removed from the deck on the table, to be remembered easily, number 14 is written on it. I talk about a special deck I always keep as a souvenir of a special place, that I kept unopened until this day. This deck is coming from a casino that we have been talking about before, it is on the other side of the table, untouched by me. The spectator takes it, cuts it ("as in any playing card game"), counts and find the 2 of Hearts at the 14th position !

As you can see, you can choose your own presentation, and adapt it to the conditions you are performing it. And most importantly, MirACAAN always works, the miracle ALWAYS happens. You have so many opportunities for storytelling with MirACAAN. This is more than an ACAAN, this is MirACAAN

I will let you know more soon about the release date. Stay tuned and thanks again for all your e-mails.

Hi all,
I am very lucky to read MirACAAN before Dorian releases
it. About the effect, presentation, etc.
everything you need to know and to see is that this effect is like you can see inside his video performance,
nothing is out. This version is really hands-off any card at any number. Many of you know that I tried for many years to find a solution where any card at any number is named and the card is there, but all my methods are not always as direct as possible or are direct with some restriction, Dorian has found a way to reach always this goal using some clever ideas.

All the conditions claimed by Dorian are true.

About the method, I cannot say that is an easy method because it requires a bit practice, but when you have it, I believe it could be one of the best hands off method.

Dorian talks also about, psychological, statistics, etc. everything is well explained.

If you are passioned about ACAAN this book is a must to have.

Good luck Dorian!

bye,
Tommy.

This looks great, I will definately be picking this up!

I respect Tommy's opnion and look forward to this

Dear all,

I am seeking for one serious native-english speaking corrector (grammar, vocabulary, spelling) for this upcoming book. By serious, I mean not someone who "just" wants to read MirACAAN ibefore the others but someone (that I can pay for) that is really willing to correct the eventual small mistakes that I could have made when writing the book.
Please contact me at dorian.caudal@gmail.com with your references or with the name of someone you know that could perform this last step on MirACAAN for me

Best,

Dorian

Saw the video and I must say this looks impressive, I definitely love the idea and can't wait for it to be released!

Congrats Dorian.

Best regards,


Andreu.

"Dorian Caudal is a true disciple of The Berglas Effect. He understands it intimately and long ago realised how limiting traditional sleight of hand is at achieving the effect. With his MirACAAN he has created a masterpiece that is a subtle and elegant blend of multiple methods to achieve the perfect effect. If you study this and put into practise everything he teaches you too will have a reputation making effect."

Marc Paul

--------------------------------------------

"Your excellent book is both clever and fascinating. You cover the various aspects of this routine and make it all work so smoothly. I certainly think this is a worthy addition to the ACAAN plot."

Peter Duffie

--------------------------------------------

"MirACAAN is an advanced solution to the Any Card At Any Number plot that serious students of card magic will want to study and practice. The amount of thought that went into this is staggering and well worth the read."

Jason Messina

Another quote from Peter Turner

Dorian's ACAAN is a fun fast paced mentalism routine that is sure to blow your participant's mind. It stays very close to the original guidelines and is practical. Absorb, practice and destroy ! Great !

I just obtained the ISBN number, and the printing will start soon. I will let you know when subscriptions begin (May - June at the latest).

Thanks for the update Dorian

I am really happy to tell you that my book MirACAAN is finally available for pre-order (delivery date : beginning of June)

All what you need to know can be found here : http://doriancaudal.wix.com/miracaan

Been waiting for this for a long time, order placed!!!!

Dorian, are you planning to have an electronic verison of the book? It would save on printing and shipping cost.

Thanks.

Bravo Dorian, enfin ! Berglas n'a qu'à bien se tenir
