The HOLY GRAIL of ACAANs! - Magic Tutorial

This is my favourite any card at any number card trick - revealed! The holy grail of ultra clean and fooling ACAAN magic with no forces, no false shuffles, no deck switches, no memorisation and minimal sleight of hand! The best part? Its a borrowed deck that is shuffled by the spectator while they freely name any card and any number (they can even change their mind)

[@JeffreyNeveaux-op7yz]

Your version greatly simplifys the acaan

[@kingrobert1st]

I failed to see anything magical about this trick what so ever. Think of a card and tell me what it is and where it is! Then why think of it? This only worked with Tommy Cooper and the blindfolded duck trick. R.I.P. Tommy Cooper.

[@cliveedwards2958]

This is for me, the best ACAAN method (methods..) I've seen. The ACAAN is my fave trick, so I've studied a lot of methods...good tutorial ! Thanks for sharing.

[@JIMuser-vh3Zxx]

Wow so good i came across your video . What a brill magic . Love it . This is a gem indeed . You got yourself another subscriber !! Jim

[@justmusic2353]

How is this the holy grail when you literally look through the deck to find the card and control it? All the shuffling the spectator did was useless if you’re able to look through it face up

[@kingrobert1st]

If I did this lame trick I'd ask the spec to name a card and then tell them where it is in the deck!

[@camipco]

I think the trick is unimpressive if you are familiar with basic sleights and are thinking about how it's done. But I bet it works really well in close-up with random people. You can make a meal of them shuffling and picking, have that be the thing that's in their mind. And then the look is done quickly and casually and then you put more emphasis on the count. So yeah, maybe doesn't stand up to scrutiny, but plays well in the moment.

[@RogerLipscombe]

On getting to > 26: If you've got more than one spectator, you can ask each of them to pick a number and just add them up. Each of them has a "free" choice, but you can stop once you get to > 26. You could get them to pick the card that way, too: first spectator picks red/black, second picks the suit, etc.

[@TheDilligan]

I love this term "Jazz Magic". I tried googling it and it doesn't seem like its a super established term. But it should be. Definitely seems like a good term for an entire genre and style of impromptu magic.

[@democlips1]

I love your enthousiasm

[@jimshort4677]

I love jazz magic, and this is a great example.

[@janabooysen3136]

You are so inspiring and I love your vids❤️‍🔥

[@CavanBooth1]

👊 thanks!

[@Patiencelad]

You're an excellent teacher Cavan! I may try this one day. Thank you! Btw, have you ever considered just culling the card to the 12th position? Culls seem very easy to hide.

[@bluetone11]

Nice tutorial Cavan ♣♥♠♦

[@user-du4hf4zg7v]

I always enjoy your intro~

[@fongparkin3984]

ohhh my goodness this is perfect bro

[@benlevy6732]

It's clear this method is close to your heart, Cavan. Unfortunately, it has significant weaknesses that will undermine its impact. Nonetheless, an interesting approach and very well executed.

[@darrenhadden1037]

That's awesome! Seems so fair and the spectator shuffles. Really impressive trick 🎩

Thanks! 😀

[@magickidoo325]

Just brilliant

[@CavanBooth1]

Thank you sir!

[@nicadcock]

nice one Harry

[@splattered63]

Top 2nd card deal is what I find easiest to do an ACAAN. I've tried many times to get a bottom deal perfected with zero success. I will stick to the top deal. Lol.

[@dpgedward5947]

Just ask them to half the pack if it is in the middle , make a note of which half and card above

[@CavanBooth1]

Also a brilliant idea!

[@mysteriesinmind]

Thanks!

[@CavanBooth1]

Thank you so much!!

[@MrVerbal]

I have been learning many acaans lately but this is genius. The simplicity is great. Allowing them to shuffle beforehand makes this a miracle in the eyes of the spectator. I will practice this one. Thank you for sharing. Keep up the good work.

[@Vytor_01]

3:56 spectators at this moment be like: "i hol' da power"

[@johngcarlsson]

Card magic doesn't get much better than this. Outstanding!

[@udaygunjal293]

Box prediction magic tutorial plz...❤

[@codycast]

Can you suggest a good reason to give for you scanning through the deck?

[@staygulf83]

Doesn’t look like it, which makes this trick ridiculous. There is no possible reason from a spectator’s point of view why you would need to scan through the deck.

[@pwcinla]

@@staygulf83Yeah, most spectators will assume that's when you moved the card. Even more suspicious is neck-tying the deck while you deal seconds from it face up. This is not a clean method at all.

[@juanmoralesvideo]

Great explanation, thanks. Still, I don't like the part where I have to look at the cards, literally the entire deck, for no reason (from the point of view of my spectators). I think it will look very suspicious for them.

[@CavanBooth1]

Not the entire deck at all! Just until you see their card. Can even be done with as you riffle, just to peek where the card is roughly in the pack.

[@jimmysaha9506]

How does Dani (Fools Us) do this trick without asking for the card until the very end?

[@dccaleb5529]

Long story short, he forces a card without knowing what it is. No sleight of hand involved. Look up his ACAAN Chapter 1 video on penguinmagic. It’s only $10 and is basically the same trick from fool us. The only difference is the method of force. The video is 1 hour of the best tips and psychological advice you can get for an ACAAN trick. Well worth the money.

[@doodlefisher234]

What’s the rationale for looking at the cards when you perform this?

[@zamfearmagic]

I agree I think the looking through the deck ruins the effect. For this method it would be better to use a marked deck

[@thereshopeforallofus2487]

Like you said your having to do second deals quite a few of them sometimes while you've got the pack tilted away from the spectator so they can't see the top card. Why don't you use a Stripper deck, get someone to take a card then get it to go to the bottom of the pack without the spectator knowing, then ask them to name a position in the deck where they think their card is, then count the cards one at a time, when you get to the number they selected for their card to be in just deal their chosen card from the bottom of the deck.

[@sabrifilms198]

Daniel Radcliffe?

[@eaglethedigger]

You simply need to do a second deal 😂😂😂

[@eaglethedigger]

Any good tutorial on the second deal and bottom deal?

[@mysteriesinmind]

All of your stuff is highly valuable and interesting, but this ... THIS, mate ... it's such a cliché, but it's a goddamn game changer.

[@CavanBooth1]

Really means a lot, thank you!

[@teegeevee42]

How do you justify that you have to look trough the cards? EDIT: Lol your method is completely different to what I had in mind.

[@briandraper7630]

Maybe Leave the jokers in and then realize you have to remove them and spread through

[@vinukarthika6497]

🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@pearcegreatesteverleftback03]

Good trick but the fact you look through the cards first is very suspicious…😉👍🏻

[@GDRYZE2011]

The only problem here is that when you spread the deck they might think that you are placing it in the 12 position even though you dont but still a amazing trick

[@marcothrush8699]

My thought exactly, if you're already spreading openly why not cull and place in proper position?

[@Manuite]

Ask their age for the position

[@nia_evans]

This is so impressive. Its probably the closest thing I've ever seen to the berglas effect. And this is out of hundreds of ACCANS!!!

[@bauldytheclown]

Suppose they name the number 52

[@CavanBooth1]

Loads of things you can do, but if you've controlled the card to the top, you can claim 52 as the top card and reveal it! I had someone name 1 once, and simply handed them the deck to check the top card. If anything, its more impressive! Good question though!

[@kingrobert1st]

Spoils the whole effect when the spec tells you what card they are thinking of. Give me an Invisible Deck any day.

[@CavanBooth1]

The spectator literally has to tell you what card they're thinking of in the Invisible Deck.

[@LDNmagic7599]

The closest thing to the Berglas effect I have ever come across!

[@CavanBooth1]

Wow, that is a compliment! Thank you so much!
