The "15,000 feet" method for one of the cleanest ACAANs we've ever seen
Dear friend,
For thousands of years, people have climbed mountains to receive inspiration.
But we think we can safely say we're the only people to climb a mountain in search of a card magic method.
(A very silly first, but we'll take it nonetheless!)
A few weeks ago, we were in the Himalayas and had an idea for one of the cleanest Any Card At Any Number effects we've seen.
We pictured it looking like this:
You start a timer on your phone and tell the spectator that they're going to choose a card before the timer hits zero. You ask them questions like 'red or black' and 'hearts or diamonds', and eventually they come to a single card. As soon as they have their card, you stop the timer on your phone-let's say there's 32 seconds left on it.
You explain that it's impossible to predict how long it will take someone to choose a playing card, and there was no way either of you could have known they would stop with exactly 32 seconds left on the clock.
"How crazy would it be?" you ask, "if the 32nd card in this deck is the card you named?"
You proceed to pick up a deck (or better, have the spectator pick up the deck) and count to the 32nd card, finding their card.
As we climbed the mountains, we gradually were able to piece together a method for this effect that allows it to look exactly like what we've described above.
Here's a video we shot in the airport on our return home performing the above effect:
Here are the conditions for the trick:
* No forces
* Normal deck-no gimmicks
* Spectator can deal
* You never touch or adjust the cards
* Easy to do-no sleight of hand required
* Although it uses a stack, it can be done without memorizing the stack
* Uses an iPhone timer (the trick is specific to the iPhone timer features) - so you'll need to own an iPhone. (Sorry Android users.)
Trek is the brainchild of a month spent digging deep into Any Card At Any Number methods and trying to come up with our own.
We're proud of the method and excited to share it with you.
Here's the deal:
We're pricing it at just £7 for now.
We may decide to give this trick the full release treatment (i.e produce this with a proper trailer and get some other magicians involved) at which point it will cost a lot more-but right now you can pick up the whole method for just £7.
Also, until Sunday the 18th only, we'll be sending anyone who buys a free BONUS effect called 'Any Number at Any Card.'
In this effect, you show your spectator a deck of cards where every card has a number on the back-from 1 to 52. Next, the spectator freely names any number, then freely names any card. We spread through a previously shuffled deck to find the card they named...and reveal that the number called for is written on the back of the card!
It's a really fun twist on the classic plot and a presentation we've not seen before.
(This effect will be given to you straight after you checkout.)
There's honestly not much for us to say-we think it's a great trick, it's pretty cheap, and we'll refund you if you don't like it.
Yes, in case you forgot-our tricks are almost always covered by a lifetime refund guarantee. So if you buy this trick and it doesn't do everything we've claimed it does, just drop us an email and we'll refund your whole purchase. No hidden terms and conditions. Just good old fashioned honesty-and a lot of confidence that 99.9% of magicians will love the method.
