MACAAN: The Ultimate Any-Card-At-Any-Number Effect

The Any-Card-At-Any-Number (MACAAN) is a must-have for performers, ideal for walkaround situations and guaranteed to enhance your reputation.

“Very clever! A more diabolical or easier card at any number has yet to be created. This is within the grasp of any decent card magician. Everything is justified. Why didn’t I think of this?” – Diamond Jim Tyler

“Matt Mello is one of my favourite creators of close-up mental magic, and Craig is one of the most skilled teachers I’ve learnt from. So when I saw the two had joined forces to bring back one of Matt’s most commercial pieces, I knew it would be great. MACAAN is solid, powerful, easy, and baffling to any audience; it’s the only card at number I would ever do.” – Dee Christopher

With MACAAN, the audience names a number, shuffles the deck, and counts the cards, all while the magician introduces a stranger card. The chosen number is written on the back of this card, ensuring clarity. As the spectator deals the specified number of cards, the magician reveals that the card at that position matches the stranger card perfectly. This effect is performed with a shuffled deck, eliminating the need for complex mathematics or sleight of hand.

MACAAN is not only easy to perform but also requires no gimmicks. For those looking to elevate their performance, Craig shares advanced techniques to enhance the trick’s deception. Additionally, he provides a bonus handling that transforms this from a simple Card at Number to a truly impressive Any Card At Any Number effect. MACAAN can be executed anytime, anywhere, using a borrowed deck. All you need is the stranger card to astound your audience. Add MACAAN by Matt Mello, presented by Craig Petty, to your repertoire and prepare to amaze!
