The 揂ny Card at Any Number?plot is one of the premier and most complex plots in all of card magic. Every aspect of this plot intrigues John Born. He was naturally drawn to it, much like he was drawn to the 揃arehanded Matrix?plot.

John then exemplifies this approach as he offer full descriptions of his most guarded solutions to the 揂ny Card at Any Number?plot, as well as contributed methods that have had a major impact on this plot (some famous and some never-before-published). These solutions include every possible venue and skill level協rom impromptu and close-up with a borrowed deck to much more intricate and prepared stage presentations where the performer never even touches the cards!
