Any place they name… Is the only place it’s not.

Card at any number (CAAN) effects are a favorite among magicians, often collected for their allure. However, many fail to impress audiences beyond a polite applause.

Failure at Any Number flips this classic CAAN concept, creating an illusion of failure that culminates in a jaw-dropping revelation, leaving spectators astounded.

The Effect…

In this performance, the audience can name any number from 1 to 52, searching for a specific card.

Initially, it appears that the card is missing, prompting applause for your supposed failure.

Then, the surprise unfolds: the entire deck consists of the same card they were seeking, and the only position they mentioned is where it doesn’t exist.

Benefits:

• Participants can freely choose any number.
• No need for precise pinky counts; Victor provides a simple, clever, and invisible method to ensure success every time.
• The deck remains completely examinable after the performance.
• Nothing is removed from the performance.
• There are no hidden elements for spectators to discover.

+ IT’S 110% HECKLER FRIENDLY

Some audience members eagerly await a magician’s blunder. They thrive on it, and this effect plays into that anticipation, only to deliver an astonishing twist.

Just when they think you’ve faltered, you unveil the deck. Boom. You become invincible.

This effect captivates regular audiences, but it’s essential for challenging crowds.

What you will learn…

In Summer 2021, we traveled to Majorca to film with the underground Spanish legend, Victor Pineapple.

Having heard of Victor’s exceptional skills, we were eager to learn from him, especially since expert card magician Jeremy Griffith was among his students.

Within moments of meeting him, it was clear that Victor approaches classic magic with a unique perspective, and his teaching style is unparalleled.

His engaging and friendly demeanor makes learning from him a pleasure.

In Failure at Any Number, you’ll not only grasp the effect but also delve into the underlying techniques and theories, all presented in easily digestible segments.
