Cheeky effect I like it.

Very good, thank you from Sweden.

Yes. This is real nice one. We can save 40 Dollars. I love craig, but this is just as good. Well Done Jay!!!

Hi Jay, im a year behind schedule, lol. I hope you are doing wonderful, sir. You are the best. I have been looking for a trick to do with an all blank deck that i bought about a year ago, around the same time when you put this awesome video on youtube. Thank you very much for showing how this beautiful trick is done. It's fantastic. I just saw a video of the trick, and i needed to learn the tutorial. Im glad that i found your channel. I just subscribed. You will be hearing from me more often, as i look frwd to watching your other great card magic tricks. I was thinking of how cool it would be if the spectator actually found their own card in the all blank deck that had a name to it, like the 6 of diamonds in the all blank deck of cards. What do you think of this idea? I am going to put a duplicate 6 OF DIAMONDS in the blank deck at the 4th or 5th position, i forgot where , but i will watch it again. Then, put that deck back in the box and put the box away until i need it.. I will start with the regular deck and force that 6 OF DIAMONDS on them. I will then put their card on top of the deck, and then they can shuffle it somewhere in the deck. I will make it comical by thanking them while i put the regular deck back in the box, acting like the trick is over. Lol. Some people might be confused, just like my mom sometimes gets. So i will tell them that we will get back to the regular deck to finish the trick. I can just see the look on their faces when i put the cards away and pull out my blank deck, and continue your trick from there. This way, not only do they find a regular card in a blank deck, but they also find their chosen card. What do you think of this idea? Im going to perform it on my friends on saturday and then on my mom on sunday, when i go over to her house to visit and help her out. If you want to go back to the regular deck after they find their card in the blank deck, you can show them that their card has vanished from the regular deck. You can do this after they pick the 6 of Diamonds, then find it in the blank deck. Everyone shows the card has vanished. Right after putting it on top of the deck. I like to do things differently if i can. You can use dble sided tape or roughing balm and put it on top card of the regular deck. Then, after you force their card, they look at it, and you put their card on top of the tape. Then you can shuffle the cards, and / or you can have them shuffle the deck before putting it in the box. Their card will stick behind the top card. Shuffle the deck, and make up some funny story that you needed that done for your next show. Put the deck back in the box. Then, do the trick with the blank cards. Then, if you want, you can go back to the regular deck and show them that their card had vanished. Thanks. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, Glen Polen

Yes, you could, which is pretty cool as well. I've been using this method for a caan or acaan with a regular deck for a while. It's actually better suited for the double blank deck presentation. With a regular deck to do an acaan it does require you finding the card they name and moving it to the 5th position from the top, then half passing the top 6 or 7 cards to the bottom which isn't difficult but takes something away with the extra moves. Thanks for the comment. Have a great day.

@@bloodmoney80 you could take their freely selected signed card and do a marlo tilt inserting it in position five. Do a false cut and flip. That would be easy.

@@bradrobbery788 For sure. 👍

This is better

Craig's a clever guy and has put out some great things. From what I understand, the instructional video that comes with Quantum has a lot of content, different routines and is very thorough. So it's probably worth the asking price. He told me he also covers this Richardson version in his quantum download. Thanks for stopping by and have a good one!

Love nick Trost. I own many of his packet tricks. One of the first tricks I ever bought was razzle dazzle. He has an effect with esp cards I really like called dream of the hermit. If your in to Trost, give those a look.

@@bloodmoney80 Trost was brilliant. I'll look for the effect you mentioned.

Glad you like it. Thanks for commenting. Have a good one!

This is easier

I agree, plus this method all of the cards can be handed out to BOTH magicians & lay-people alike.

@@VancouverMagic yes and the force will always face the same way example always the back of the card. 👍😊👍

It is

Thanks for stopping by. I'm glad you like it. I'm a fan of all types of tricks and methods but I personally like the simple and cheeky type tricks. The move in this is so simple, yet effective. Anything that involves even simple math can sometimes be a pain in the heat of the performance. This, you can concentrate on performance and the moment you need to cause some distraction, you can patter however you like. Come up with something humorous, pretend like you may have forgotten the count and spread the cards to recount them, while doing the move. Just have to use the imagination. Have a good day.

Wdym the math is easy

Don’t like to worry about math either and what side you count

This is true, this idea could be transformed in many ways. I like presenting just the method and the basics of an effect. So people can put there own spin on things and put their own personal touch on it. Yours is great idea if you do Christian shows. I myself am an atheist and would never use this in that way. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Have a great day!

Jesus. Ha. The greatest magician who fooled billions of people

@@meatclaw7292 That's not very nice. There are billions of us dumb asses who believer and it gives us piece of mind. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Suggestion, when you die have them pack you in ice. That way you'll burn a little slower, giving you a little time to pray like hell lol and beg Jesus to save you. Probably wont help but at least the rest of us will have a devilish laugh. My kindest regards, -keith

If you want to do it with a regular deck. You need to get their selected or named card into the fifth position from the top, then take the top 7 or 8 cards and move them to the bottom while flipping them over, via a pass type move. Then you would perform the count the same way I show for the blank deck version. With the blank deck, you can just do it as a CAAN. What printed card you use doesn't really matter. It's about them choosing a number and the only printed card being at that number. What the card is doesn't matter so much.

I agree. It really does work quite well. Thank you for your comment. Have a great day!

@Jay's World Of Magic & Mystery usually it’s a regular deck??

@@Davidblaine18 yes, the original Richardson method was an impromptu version with a regular deck. I'll link ya to it. pdfcoffee.com/impromptu-acaan-by-barrie-richardson-pdf-free.html

@Jay's World Of Magic & Mystery I have quantum and I like this version. Better

@@Davidblaine18 me too. I didn't do the greatest job of teaching this here honestly. So maybe reading the Richardson text will help people to understand even the blank deck version better.

Eye contact is important. Remember the spectator will usually look where your looking. Pretend like you forgot what number they said. And then ask them again while dealing. Then spread the cards on the table as you do that to recount what you have there. do the flip move. Then finish the count.

@@bloodmoney80 yess ok, thanks for advice! I also want to try to rotate the deck in the action of adjusting my sleeves, pass it from one hand to another and finish the count from another hand

@@akopazoyan7697 that's also a very good idea.

You are correct sir.

I believe it was just a stand alone PDF. Impromptu ACAAN by Barrie Richardson is the title.

@@bloodmoney80 Thank you! Great video! Subscribed.

Yes of course.

@@bloodmoney80 In my opinion, the impact would be harder by using a deck full of double backers. Thanks for your answer.

@@dreamsdreams9493 yes, I say in the video that you can use a full deck and that I just didn't have a full deck. Thanks for looking. Have a good one!

@@dreamsdreams9493 I actually misread your original comment, sorry. You could use double backers but your right, I think the impact wouldn't be as powerful. Something about seeing the one printed card amongst all that blankness.

@@bloodmoney80 Thanks

I don't own it, so I can't be sure. That's my guess from the demo. For it to look as clean as it looked in the trailer I think so. Maybe not the whole deck is RS but a stock on top and bottom maybe. Then you can count cards singly or the roughed pair as a single and you would be able to count to whatever number the spectator names that way. I could be completely wrong though lol I dunno. I swear I've come across another effect that used that method but can't for the life of me recall it's name or creator.

@Jay's World Of Magic & Mystery You're not thinking of Joshua Jay's Out of Sight are you? Whilst it doesn't use an R&S method as such, it can be seen as similar to Craig Petty's Quantum Deck....

@@brianmagicman3556 it wasn't Joshua Jay's, it didn't use a blank deck. It did use RS to achieve the count. There is another blank deck caan by Adrian Vega called scaandal which uses RS too. RS is used to hide the force card though. So you have multiples of the force card. Quantum deck is cool because the force card is a single, normal card that could be given away.

@Jay's World Of Magic & Mystery Ahh ok Yes I've seen scaandal and a ton of other acaan effects Are you going to the Blackpool Magic Convention this week? I am and I only live 5 minutes away 😁

@@brianmagicman3556 no. I live in the United States. I also don't go out much lol

I am not familiar with that effect. It was Barrie Richardson's impromptu acaan that I used here. His used a regular deck. I just added the blank deck. Thanks for looking. Have a good one.

Someone else mentioned Mitchell Kettlewell in a comment as well. I'm not familiar with him or his effect. This is a variation on a Barrie Richardson's Impromptu ACAAN. Thank you for your comment. Have a great day!

@@bloodmoney80 yes bro! It's Barrie Richardson's method... this guy Mitchell kettlewell did a take on this classic for his release on a trick called Ice cold acaan from Ellusionist a few years back... With proper credit too... He's a really cheerful chap... Positive dude.. That's why I mentioned... Anyway your shit is good too!

@@akashchakrabarty5708 oh hey yea I gotcha. I appreciate your kind words. Thanks

Yeah you could put it in the second spot. I had considered that after I finished filming. Then if they named one it could even fly. Deal one card then it's next. Two obviously works, then you would be able to go all the way up to 51. The original effect used a regular deck so you do want to have a few extra cards after the selection to make it work. Thank for looking and commenting. Have a good day.

@@bloodmoney80 why

I don't own it, so I am not 100% sure but I believe it does. Thanks for the comment. Have a good day!

@@bloodmoney80 nope deck is completely examinable

@@markkennedy5955 this seams to be a point for debate. Some who reviewed the product have said a magician would find the secret if examined. I personally am not willing to throw down 40$ to make this determination. That's why I have posted this alternative version, for others who feel the same as I.

@@bloodmoney80 I just watched another channel reviewing the Quantum & you can literally hear the difference in sound on every other card being dealt (if you know what I mean)

@@VancouverMagic interesting, I have not seen this review in particular but I do know what your saying. Makes sense. Thank you for the comment. Have a good one.

Barrie Richardson impromptu ACAAN uses this method with a regular deck. From the late 90's I believe. Then there is ice cold ACAAN which works In a similar way but you can't deal the cards face up. That's by Mitchell Kettlewell.

Yeah, everybody's style is different and will have different preferences. The move done in a live situation while pattering, with slight audience management will fly by easy. There are situations with Craig's as well that if they name a number out of the 10 - 30ish range you have to do a half pass which is similar to having to flip the whole deck anyway. The version I show has a wider range of numbers that can be named and makes it so everything is comfortably examinable afterward. Also with Craig's, some time the card is delt face up, sometime face down. These are all differences that will make a difference to some and not to others. Thanks for looking and have a good day.

@@bloodmoney80 just so you know the updated instructions for the Quantum Deck have a range of 6 to 47. I also go into the Richardson method on the tutorial. Thanks for sharing.

@@magic-tv Very very good. I should have known you would cover Richardson's in your tutorial. Your a thorough guy. I appreciate the comment. Thanks for stopping by. Have a good one!

Nah, even Craig goes into Barrie Richardson’s handling with his deck to cover certain outs. When I saw that, I questioned the whole point of quantum deck. With a normal deck, it is cleaner. Misdirecting for a move that flies by is easier in real life, than on cam.

Dude came up with this method many years ago. Tried and true method. I've come across many people teaching this method as well, some even selling downloads with the method. They all seam to suggest it will fly. according to Craig, he teaches this version in the tutorial for quantum deck as well. I've performed the regular deck version before, with that there is a little more room for misdirection. If you get people to look at the cards you've dealt on the table by spreading them, the split second is good enough to table the rest of the cards and flip as you are doing so. Sorry, about the sniffing, coke problem. Thanks for looking. Have a good one.

I will add, that I don't know why anyone would want to fool magicians either. It seams to be a selling point for some. Hell, I don't even let spectators touch anything. No examination for you. Everybody's different though. Everybody has got different styles. Some things work better for some than others. Effects with rough and smooth seam to be out of style these days as well.

@yendor Guru of misdirection? I can almost openly flip a Blank deck in front of a spectator and get away with it, Why you ask? Because both sides are blank! If I can do a no cover pass then surely I can half pass a blank deck, actually not even a half pass. This method is actually examinable not that it needs to be but because you can have a much higher number range. You would have to be super paranoid to not use this method and it’s not even an amazing trick, there is no reason I would ever use this or quantum simply because there are much better things to do with a blank deck such as point blank by Gregory Wilson, well to be fair with this version you could add it to Gregory Wilson’s point blank Routine as an additional reveal.

Guru of misdirection... if you can't flip a blank deck without getting caught then your doing something majorly wrong. have a word with yourself...

If your comment were true, card under box would be a pipe dream. Coins under salt shaker would be impossible, and Tommy Wonders cups and Balls would not exist. Tommy loads a Bag, that last on the table, into the cup, thats on the table, while being surrounded and filmed.

Tell me about it. I learned this from a Barrie Richardson pamphlet. I've also seen similar effects on dvds and downloads in more recent times. It's such an ancient art. It feels like the most valuable principles of magic have been created, copied or have been recreated a many times over. Even when you see something you think is new and clever, later you find out it was taken from some old text that everybody has forgotten about.

There are a lot of cool things you can do with this method. It can be the base to layer a cool routine upon. Of course it can always just be used for a quick basic CAAN as well. The regular deck version is nice because it is totally impromptu and can be done with a borrowed deck. I am familiar with the grail. I own the gold edition. The addition of the roughing is a good idea. Thanks for looking and commenting. Have a good day!

First off, I didn't expose his trick. Second, this is also not my version. Clearly stated, it's Barrie Richardson's method. Also, at the end I talk about flipping the deck. I wasn't trying to hide it in this video. I am only showing how it's done. I openly show myself putting the card into position as well. If it was meant to be fooling, would I be doing that? Third, this way of doing an ACAAN that I show is as old as the hills. I purchased more than a few products who use this as the method. I'm at least not profiting from it. Fourth, if a magician wants to keep his trick a secret, perhaps don't sell it to anybody with $40.00 in their pocket. Also, if anybody who knows about cards could figure it out, how come all the famous magicians in the trailer couldn't?

In a current magic climate that's become so commercial and people are selling overpriced rehashed effects all over the large magic sites. I don't think showing people a spin on a very old trick, on an unmonetized KZfaq channel is a problem. Conjurors have been around since ancient Egypt. First documented performance of cups and balls was 2700BC. Every magic idea at this point is a modification of an old one. 90% of what you find at magic dealers isn't original. Magic is something that should be enjoyed, fun and shared with people who are interested. Not protected and hidden away so a select group can profit off of it. It's the year 2023 with internet and smart devices. If somebody wants to know how something is done they can find an answer.
