I hope you will either be charging a lot for this OR selling only a limited amount. I really do...

Thanks Last Laugh.
In all fairness, this is how I approach the plot, but at the end of the day - it's still just an ACAAN. Is it the grail? No. But does it get the job done easily, efficiently, and look exactly like the real deal? Yes! I know that's subjective, and perhaps I am biased, but I feel it does the job more than admirably - and I have pretty discriminating tastes. Like any method for the plot, it has pro's and cons, but I believe the pro's outweigh the cons here by a VERY wide margin. It has a lot going for it: Regular deck. No set-up. Spectators shuffle and deal. Any card and any number without restriction. Virtually "hands-off". And you can drop it into your set at anytime. I only bring this up because I know people get real excited over this plot. I just think it's important for people to realize that this is still just a card effect. This is maybe that one time where I'd advocate people keeping at least one foot in reality. Another thing I will mention here is that I NEVER perform this in the traditional way: Name or choose ANY card, now name ANY number. How boring. No wonder most lay audiences are typically not quite as thrilled about the effect as we are. Now, if people want to choose to present it this way with my version - knock yourself out. It changes nothing method-wise. But the ACAAN effect as a whole, is really an effect about synchronicity, and so this is the theme I personally choose to utilize in my own presentation. For that reason, I NEVER have the second spectator name ANY number or bother even getting into numbers. I simply let him deal until he feels the urge to stop. I let him do this with the idea that I am letting him choose a card as well and that I may be trying to find BOTH later - or at least that's what I mildly imply. This way, when he turns over the last card he dealt, there is a much greater reaction than in the usual presentation because it comes as a total surprise, whereas with the traditional approach, the presentation foreshadows the ending too much, thereby reducing the impact. |

I'm not much of a business man. I've been told by so many people over the years that I really should have a business manager. I always feel bad for putting a price on something. It is the hardest thing for me to do.
For anybody else reading this, I shared this with Last Laugh last fall when he and I were working on my Zodiac Cards. But don't bother messaging him for details as he is sworn to secrecy under pain of death. As it sits, his phone lines and internet is being actively monitored and I have plain-clothes agents lurking about his neighborhood watching his every move. |

Also, the plain clothes guys are dressed up as hippies. I guess they were trying to blend in, but they didn't realize it was the wrong time of year. Hippies show up in the fall around here.

While you are busy watching them, there is another team in place not dressed as hippies watching you watch the hippies. And as for the hippies showing up in the fall - that's because it's corn-harvesting season, no? |

Er, yes! Corn!
They call them Trimigrants.

There has to be a system for this, there just has to be....
Area 52, 1 copy for Sudo, 1 copy for me... 52 - 1 -1 = 50... 50 is not an odd number.... Even numbers make Sudo happy... If Sudo is happy he might announce me as the winner.... Yeah I will go with number 50! (and thanks for such a nice competition ). |

I'm bipolar, so...some days even numbers make me happy. Other days I prefer odd numbers. I called the cereal guys and asked them if they would make "Numeral Bits" (as they already have "Alpha Bits" - so why not?), but for some reason, they didn't think they would be very popular.
This made me very sad. |
