The Acaan Finale by Tommaso Guglielmi
Tommy has developed a highly effective version of the ACAAN (Any Card at Any Number) that is both straightforward and hands-off, aiming for the ideal ACAAN experience. From the spectator’s perspective, the performance unfolds as follows:
-
A sealed deck of cards is prominently displayed on the table.
-
A spectator chooses a card from an imaginary deck and selects a number from an imaginary urn.
-
The spectator mentally visualizes placing their chosen card in the correct position within the deck.
-
When the spectator opens the box and counts to their selected number, their chosen card appears, all without any involvement from the magician.
In previous iterations, Tommy had to incorporate additional effects or perform preliminary actions. This time, the focus is solely on this effect, ensuring it appears as clean as possible.
“This is a truly exceptional solution to the ACAAN plot. It’s elegant, straightforward, and highly practical. The underlying method is both clever and subtle. This is a must-have addition to your ACAAN repertoire.” – Marc Paul
This ebook includes the primary routine along with several completely impromptu variations. The main routine offers multiple approaches, ranging from simple to more complex methods. The impromptu version requires some practice for a seamless performance. As a bonus, you’ll also discover another effect titled Chaos ACAAN, which allows for an immediate repeat of the entire routine.
