It’s such a shame it ended so suddenly; it leaves a bit of a bad taste. Scott was always really pleasant and easy to talk to in our emails. I imagine putting out a monthly magazine for nearly three years must have become pretty overwhelming. I just hope Scott’s okay. I have a feeling he might’ve been struggling, but once he’s back on his feet, I’m sure he’ll make things right — either by finishing the series or paying people back. |

The performer asks the participant or group to call out a number somewhere in between 1 and 52 and the name of a playing card, then, using a deck of playing cards, counts down to the number called out. The named card is found in this position, and every other card in the deck is shown to be blank. “I love this new handling of ACAAN! Joshua has put a lot of thought and effort into creating an effect that is much more mentalism oriented. Yes it’s a pretty clean ACAAN, BUT he’s created a great kicker ending proving that you must have known the participant’s choices before they did!” – Marc Paul “It fooled me” – Warren Thackeray “I feel like I should know how it’s done but I honestly don’t... that fooled me” – Steve Dela “Great” – Christian Grace “You’re very talented and it makes me happy knowing that you’re (so young) and already coming up with great stuff” – Ben Seidman *IMPORTANT: Please note that this download describes the method behind this effect – purchasing the materials necessary to perform it costs around £30, though cheaper versions £6/15 are also detailed* |

Not for nothing, the card was actually the 32nd card. Huge fail actually if it isn’t a friend watching to help sell an instant download.
Aside from adding more boredom to a boring effect it was in the wrong position. And people praise this as if it was the greatest effect ever. I have never worked for an audience that wouldn’t call this obvious point out. I hope I’ve been trolled and this is nothing but a joke. Why would they use this as the trailer? Why would they sell this if it is intentional? Hopefully they take it down and make it new.

With everything else going on in my life, I let several threads that I started die a premature death. I really need to write a wrap-up post or two so that I can get a sense of closure and move on...

Whilst not exactly a ACAAN I have recently fallen back in love with Gemini Twins and truth be told I get 10x stronger reactions from it than even when I luckily hit with the Berlas Effect conditions of ACAAN

I'm curious right now with Craig Petty's Atomic Deck
https://www.vanishingincmagic.com/card-magic/atomic-deck/ I haven't tried it, it looks good but it has mixed reviews... Does anyone here have tried it?

Opinions vary widely, but in my view, it is quite strong in the right hands. I have it and like it a lot, even though I am careful about who I show it to and when I use it.

Oz Pearlman has pretty much nailed it with acaan. Removes a deck of cards from coat, pick a a number, name a card, never touches the deck after he removes it from coat. Spectator does the rest. Doesn't get much cleaner.

I think it is Painting the Lilly with the blanks. What difference does it actually make? Their card was at their number.
Anyhow PS work does indeed create miracles if you have time for it.

That was really good.
And pretty cleanly done. I like the whole way Oz presented this.
Is Joe Diamond the only one that does it this way?

It is seemingly very clean and quite a ruse to pull off on folks.
Just think, without knowing whatever it is you guys are talking about here as to method (which is usually what is not known when you do magic), it really does just make you go, WOW!!!

The difference is supposed to be that as magicians you don’t fall for the hype.
