That is my reaction to some metal bees as well. They are one of my favorites. Also I love multiple outs. I like this smooth Acaan, the best part is how well it fits you.

[@CardMechanic]

Loved your thoughts my friend! The metal bees were a bit more difficult to handle, maybe I need to break them in? But they do look fantastic!

[@JCMagic]

@@CardMechanic I have noticed a clunkiness to them. Not sure if it is the metallic ink. After handling all these cards for years now it definitely seems that the ink and stock and everything else makes every deck just slightly unique. I can't wait to see what 2022 brings to the community.

[@TrinityX]

I love A.C.A.A.N.’s and apparently Berglas did touch the Deck before the card was dealt too. 👍😊👍

[@CardMechanic]

Oh interesting, didn't know that, from what I've read, it said that he didnt

[@TrinityX]

@@CardMechanic Yes but people only remember what they want to remember.👍😊👍

i like the second deal because its so tricky to detect if done right. nice video again

[@CardMechanic]

Thanks so much!

[@diogeneslantern18]

More than ten years ago my friend group and I would play a lot of card games and I wanted to set myself apart just by learning a nice little riffle shuffle. Fast forward this past week and I pulled out a deck of cards and started searching for simple little tricks just for fun and omw I have become obsessed with card magic. BUT I will only start performing for friends in a few months from now. I wanted to get my technique and variations down well enough that I can go into any new trick and truly start understanding the mechanics of the Craft. It becomes obsessive to the max 🤯

[@DavidM-lj5yv]

Berglas effect always stumped me. I love ACAAN and have a few methods I do myself-- But my second deal is nowhere near as good as your's!!-- so I really need to work on that-- Great effect you came up with-- very good thinking!!!

[@CardMechanic]

Thanks so much! If you want to share a video of yourself performing an ACAAN, I would love to see it!

[@DavidM-lj5yv]

@@CardMechanic I think I'd get trashed if I posted a video!! I do a Saturday morning Magic video where I film a few effects for 6-10 minutes every weekend since I started magic/card sleight of hand 14 mos ago-- I email it out to around 20 friends, family, and clients of mine. As far as ACAAN, the easiest for me is off the bottom using The Glide move. Also have a method where I peel the cards off the top and then drop chosen card down and DL. Also love Mike Kirby's X-Act-- but that's using a gimmicked deck that only does one thing. I'm going to really practice my second deal. Spent past 6 weeks really working on my Classic Pass-- now I think I'll devote my practice time after work to 2nd deal!! Thanks!!!!!

[@CaptainCardMagician]

I have done this effect a lot of times!!!!Omg Your Second Deal Is Insane!!! It's Soooo clean!!!

[@YaLikeJazz615]

My favorite second deal and the one I use is the one you use, it’s the most natural! Using it for a trick like this is pretty cool

[@CardMechanic]

Thanks man! I spent a lot of time learning by watching Richard Turner perform and then adapted it to my own technique!

[@SoCalDan530]

Youre second deal is second to none. perfect.

[@GTass455in]

Found you from Jason Ladayne. Good video! Good luck with your channel and Patreon :)

[@terencelandongrey7232]

Thank you for sharing this simple but awesome trick!🇬🇧

your second deal is always incredible. i trying too learnnnnnnn.ty

[@UnderTheStairsGaming]

And sadly he passed away a few hours ago 😔 RIP Berglas, aged 97

[@Paul-ji7uo]

your second deal is so danm good. OMG!!!

[@mysteriesinmind]

Fantastic! But you weren't kidding about the advanced thing -- I feel like I'm one of those seals that honks horns at Sea World and I'm watching a tutorial on jazz saxophone.

[@DadBodDrumming]

your 2nd deal is the best i have seen.

[@CardMechanic]

Thank you so much!

[@fadingac3]

Amazing video CM! I can tell how much work you have put into this! I love performing ACAAN and I have heard of Berglas, but now I am more interested in it. Time for some research! Happy 2022! #Roadto15K!

[@CardMechanic]

Yes sir! Definitely great to read up on it!

[@Korean-xh6xj]

Btw if u don't like the second deal u can also just control the selected card to the bottom and do just 1 bottom deal when u are at the location that the spectator named.

[@jphipnose]

Daniel Madison got a ACAAN routine very simple. I like to use the Si Stebbins stack sometimes and calculate where is the card of the spectator.

[@CardMechanic]

It's funny that you said that, I'm actually working on coming up with a method for an ACAAN using a stack where the spectator selects any card and any number, I shuffle to make that work out and hand the deck to the spectator to deal. Still need to work out the details!

[@jphipnose]

@@CardMechanic Amazing, the problem is put the card on spectator number and the spectator deal, but have a solution, one last configuration before give the deck to spectator or give multiple choices.

[@robertshawiv1513]

Wow! You make that look so easy. 👍🏻

[@CardMechanic]

Took quite a bit of practice to get it there haha

[@delonweird6500]

Man your second deal is always incredible.. So visual and fantastic ✨

[@CardMechanic]

Thanks man!

[@MikaroMagic]

Just brilliantly done bud 🤟🏼🤟🏼🥃🥃🥳🥳👍🏼👍🏼

[@derindadarilek5163]

Hey man love the videos.

[@robertthejack]

I've seen a video of the Berglas effect and if it's him the cards are definitely handled before given to the spectator.

[@RodMacNevin]

Nice trick. Your second deal is very good. But I have learned to look for it when you switch to a borderless deck.

[@CardMechanic]

Hahaha, maybe I should only use borderless decks then so you'll never know!

[@guitarconcepts8850]

I thought it was a second deal BUT I am a magician . Very clean. Noone will catch your deal...

[@Ad3n27]

It would be crazy if he had an out to every single card planted somewhere in his house. Though it would difficult to have that many natural feeling places in your house. Also CM your second deal is crazy good and keep up the great work!

[@CardMechanic]

Yeah I agree, but that's why I'm thinking he subtly suggests a couple of card and numbers somehow, and then has multiple outs for those few. But who knows

[@101raziel905]

You can do can without touching the deck with a svengali deck

[@MicchonCodm]

The Holy Grail... isn't it the one in Fate/Stay Night anime?😍🤣

[@darrenhadden1037]

best acaan s I know involve gaffed decks. they are one trick ponys but easier to perform and seem more impossible.

[@dancmkiii8461]

Barrie Richardson has some excellent work on the ACAAN, if anyone wants some information outside The Berglas Effect.

[@RobertBallMagician]

Man this is so good 😊👍😊👍😊

[@CardMechanic]

Thanks so much!

[@RobertBallMagician]

@@CardMechanicI uploaded a shout out video and you made the list. I did goof up on the video I thought I had your screen shot in the video and messed up the list I made, cut and paste don't always work. But you are in my friend.👍😊👍

[@derindadarilek5163]

That’s literally the same acaan I do! 🤣

[@justanotherday5531]

Hello Folks First Berglas is on film doing a version where he never touches the cards. That said there is an easy version of Berglas' ACCAAN. Invite. some folks to dinner but have some folks to lunch. Entertain the lunch folks with a few card tricks. Have them shuffle the deck think of a card remove it from the deck. Have them shuffle and square up the deck and get a peek at the bottom (key) card. Instruct the guest to place the. chosen card on top then cut the deck. Turn over cards when the key card shows say "Stop. There is a better way to find the card" Have another guest count off as many cards of a chosen number between 1-52 the deal is off the top so the chosen card is now at the chosen number. The cards are placed in the box and sealed. The magician knows neither the chosen card or number and never touched the cards. He promises to finish the reveal at dinner with his lunch guests present. With a bit of magician's patter to make the lunch guests look like random choices and a third truly random person to count out the cards dinner and lunch guests witness the Berglas effect none the wiser. Berglas was a Mentalist who're notorious for their preshow ingenious set ups. Just A. Day

[@eyewaves...]

Indeed the second deal requires some skill to do it with real confidence...I've seen someone else do it the same way. It is obviously not the Berglas Effect because the magician need to handle the cards instead of your audience...Great method...thank you for sharing it..

[@-md-3754]

How can you improve Jason Ladanye ACCAN ?? His Accan is amazing ... In his version his also give the deck to spectator 😳 No idea😶

[@justanotherday5531]

Hello md-3754 The ACAAN is indeed awesome the 'improvement' is the Berglas Effect where only the spectator touches the cards and the magician is completely hands off.
