A hands-free, no sleight of hand, no maths ACAAN where the spectator can shuffle and deal the cards themselves! This is one of my favourite tricks, a perfect any card at any number straight from my repertoire

100% agree with you. While pros are blowing people's minds with svengali decks, beginners are saying it's too simple. What a paradox! Btw, I just discovered your channel. I love your stuff!

This is awesome! Some magicians may call it old or amateurish, but the payoff is HUGE. Audiences love ACAAN. It just looks so impossible! And you explained it very well! Thanks!

@springbloom5940 Жыл бұрын

Meh. My experience is that most just 'like it' because they don't really understand what happened and are peer pressured into being amazed. Tricks can be too good. It has to be right on the threshold of impossible, so that it makes them think and quickly exhaust any ideas of you you could've done it. 'Impossible' is just overwhelming and bypasses wonder, straight to stupification and boredom. A lot of times when they see something so 'impossible' they in fact do assume 'trick deck'. Magicians quickly forget their experiences as a spectator, when they start turning tricks.

This is a great use for this deck. My mom ordered me this deck at the beginning of COVID and I only knew the original trick. This is something I am going to try since I love ACAAN's and I was looking for some other tricks with this deck. Another thing is I didn't know you could shuffle the deck!

If you're worried they'll think its a trick deck, they'll worry its a trick deck. Go in with the same level of confidence that you would if it was ungimmicked! And as a back up - always have an ordinary deck to ring in

데이비드 버글라스의 아칸 렉쳐 영상 볼때도 카드에 손을 한번이상 터치 한다. 기존에 손안대던 아칸은 확실히 스투지가 맞고 버글라스 이펙트 책과 디비디 를보면 지금 이영상과 비스무리 하다는점. 하지만 이방법이 더 낫긴하지만 기억력이 좋아야한다고 생각함.. 이유는 조커 셋팅표를 항상 지니고 다닐수는 없기때문. 또한 셋팅값을 설정 해야하고 한번이상은 터치를 해줘야 한다.. 고로 아칸은 스택 덱으로 보통 하는데.. 마구 석고 관객 3명 이상 과 하는것은 거의 스투지 임.

To get over the odds and evens I use a roughing stick for the first two cards that are identical to the key card in the rest of the deck. Odds mean you take two as one card and evens you take one at a time. Start the count then say sorry you continue the count. Now whatever card they land on its the chosen card.

@Musikpunx 2 жыл бұрын

If you "only" want to use a Svengali-Deck to force a card or to show effects which are related to cutting the deck, you can even do an overhand shuffle. Because even if the cards are not perfectly interlaced, you will almost every time cutn to a short card.

Very true! Just for this effect, that would be slightly riskier!

@CavanBooth1 2 жыл бұрын

The 'mime' beforehand will almost guarantee they copy you and do it by the ends, and even if not, every time either a face up or face down card will be the force, so you can change in the moment to land on the force card!

If the spectator cuts the pack holding the short ends of the pack it would work but what happens if they cut holding the long sides of the cards wouldn't they run the risk of cutting straight to the repeated gimmick card ?

I love your thinking here. Clean, mostly hands off, able to emphasize the performance which translates into relaxation and fun. I used to perform using Ken Krenzel's "Open and Shut Case" (super devious method) but there is some on the spot calculation which translated into anxiety. Hated that! Your method appears clean and hands off to the audience. That's worth everything! Well done.

It will work if you cut it from the side, as you always cut to two cards when you halve the deck. The force card will be cut to either way, as they alternate.

@CavanBooth1 11 ай бұрын

You don't need to cut from the top ends. Cutting anywhere and anyhow still results in cutting to a force card, as they are every other card. Also, ignoring the fact that most non-magicians do cut cards from the top ends?

It's not impressive to do a thing with a deck of cards set up. Certainly not to the degree of half the cards being the same.

@CavanBooth1 Жыл бұрын

You've entirely missed the point. The method never ever ever needs to be "impressive". Magic is about the effect, the memory you leave with the spectator. Doesnt matter how you do it or how easy or impressive it is.
