Rehearse To Make It The Best

Reading the other reviews, you may think words like "easy" make it an "out of the box" effect. I
urge you to practice the effect until it becomes second nature. The method is remarkable in its
simplicity, but building the muscle of the mind regarding the mathematics, and rehearsing the hands
as far as the "dirty work" is concerned, make it as clean as the demo. This is now my signature
card effect and will be yours as well if you put the eagerness to perform aside and put the ample
rehearsal time in.

In my over 60 years of doing magic this has to rank among the top 2 or 3. Maybe even the
best.
It will blow your audience away. BUY IT. You won't be sorry Did this review help you?

I have to be honest, this is my first review on Penguin I ever did, and normally I don't bother to
review any of my purchases (good or bad)... But this one is an exception! It is genius in its
simplicity and a guaranteed hit for all magicians alike. I can only recommend to buy this item, as I
am sure nobody in their right mind could regret this!

This is close to ACAAN as you can get. Okay, it's not any card, but definately at any number. And
it's super easy to perform! A great method. The effect is a killer! There is no explanation!
Audiences shake their heads in disbelieve! Great!

This is it, the one you've been looking for. It has everything, easy to do, audience participation,
no fumbling, and absolutely no sleights. You won't believe how easy this effect is. It looks exactly
like the demo shows. I've fooled a 35 year IBM member with this effect. You'll learn this in an hour
or less. There are no hard math calculations, you use your own bike deck. The original effect is
explained, but the improvements are fantastic! Get this A+ effect NOW!

this is by far the cleanest most mind boggling trick on penguin. It is so extremely simple and
involes only the very slightest bit of math. there is absolutely no sleight of hand everything you
see you will get and definatley worth the price

i've owned and have been using this for about 7-8mos now. it has become one of my 'go to' effects.
absolutely. i use this as my opener combined with "365" another alakazam fav of mine. i do a
husband/wife thing using it. i, to be honest, have never ever felt the need to use the gimmicked
version. you can pull this off w/o having to.
i was thinking about getting "think" by shin lim but i think this is way cleaner. if you're a mentalist or a magician you'll love this i guarantee it. i use this EVERY SINGLE TIME i am called on to perform. my list: the grail, cataclysm, casino royal, mental epic slate, white star, celebrity smart ass, heirloom, and close with (my own effects)"top secret not secret."

So far everytime I have performed this effect it blows people's minds. It says you can have the
spectator handle the cards which you can but I don't think it is nesecary unless you do the gimmick
part, which I don't. And any number can be named (between 1-52) once you learn how to accomplish on
how it works it flys by un-noticed. I highly recommend this effect.

Best card at any number I've ever seen

I have tried other card at any number effects, and this is the cleanest handling I've ever tried.
There is a moderate learning curve (mostly memorization) but most people I've shown this to said
this was by far the most impressive magic they have seen me do.
I perform the variation in which a black envelope is given to the spectator before we start, then a number from 1 to 52 is called out by the spectator. The cards are removed from the box and handed to the spectator, who is asked to look through the cards to make sure they are mixed up. Then ask the spectator to count the cards face up to the number they selected. At the number, that card is set aside. The envelope is opened by the spectator (it has been in their possession the whole time) and the card in the envelope matches the card counted to by the spectator. Mind blowing! For my magic club competition, I will have red and blue decks. The red deck is fanned by me to show the cards are mixed. A random spectator will freely select a card and place it face down on the table. A second spectator will call out a number, then count with the blue deck, turning each card face up as they count. The selected blue card that is counted to is placed next to the face down red card. The red card is turned over and they match! Did this review help you?
A good effect with practice

I have been working on a number of card at any number locations for 20+ years. I would say I'm a
medium techie card guy.
I like the overall effect and thinking. I did feel the ad was mis-leading on practice time. I've put about 8-9 hours in so far and it is not performance ready. Did this review help you?
