"This is an ACAAN that will fry and entertain both laymen and magicians alike thanks to its hands-off nature. A great addition to your arsenal of impromptu magic." - David Jonathan

"The best I Ca(a)n first up fooled me very badly. The effect is so strong with nearly all of the action in their hands. The tutorial where Joël and Ron deconstruct the devious secret is extremely well detailed and explained so that you will not have any trouble at all learning this beautiful mystery!!!" - John Carey

"This clever card-at-a-number is the sort of simple yet subtle fooler that, once learned, will often be put to devilish use." - David Regal

"This is probably one of the best impromptu ACAAN tricks I have seen. Wow!" - Peter Eggink

The Best I Ca(a)n by Joël Harbers is a great impromptu version of the classic Any Card At Any Number plot!

Effect:
BORROW a deck of cards and make sure it is well mixed. Two spectators will help you with this great miracle.
Have spectator one cut of about half the deck. Spectator two cuts the remainder of the deck in half and he silently counts the number of cards he picked (he can turn around if he likes).

In the meantime, spectator one selects ANY card from his pile and he remembers that card.

All the cards are gathered back together and the magicians give both spectators about half the deck.

They both start dealing the cards face down until one of them decides to STOP dealing. Now they SWITCH their packets and continue dealing. At one point they stop again and shuffle their cards en puts all the cards on their packets! Now both piles are laid on top of each other. In all this dealing, shuffling, and switching the magician NEVER touches the cards.

Now, spectator two picks up the deck and reveals his thought-off number for the very first time. He then deals to his selected number. When theis card is turned over IT IS the selected card from spectator one!

Incredible.

In fact this is so good, you can instantly repeat it and they have NO clue how it is done!

The Best I Ca(a)n is a GREAT miracle that can be done totally impromptu.

NO gimmicks
NO setup
Very easy to learn and to perform.

This will fool your magic friends too!

Really great effect. No stack...Not difficult just grab the deck and go. Learn the few basic steps and you have a real worker and fooler. Someone can hand you a deck of cards at a party... and you can immediately do this trick... leave them speechless... and walk away.. :-) ... Very thoughtful instructions and I appreciated the 'extra tips' at the end that provided additional real world feedback enhancements and 'what to do' if certain things happen... nothing difficult... just good info. Very passionate and sincere creators who developed an excellent routine. If you like using a short card... you have another option for the only 'move' in the trick......

Ok, bad instructions Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 28th, 2021
The trick is ok, there are other, less procedural acaan tricks (I would check out the one from Applesauce by Patrick Redford) that use a borrowed deck, and where 1 spectator has a number and one is thinking of the card. You can sometimes run into issues when a spectator has to remember both a number and a card (if you are doing the trick to two people). I was really disappointed with the instruction video, it was very confusing and unorganized. If you do not already know an acaan Trick using a borrow deck this is a good start, but if you already have one you like, possibly pass on this.

The trick is amazing but, some of the explanation needs some work....a bit confusing and unclear and difficult to hear for me.

The trailer is very honest. So if you like the way this Card at Number works, and it fooled you – go for it.

Hard to follow Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 1st, 2021
I think this would have been easier to follow with two participants aiding in the instruction, so you can learn it as it is actually performed. I’ve tried it a few times and only got the desired outcome once. Also, the explanation of the “shuffle” was not helpful, since describing the principle really only confuses the instruction. I don’t think I’ll ever try it out on anyone.

Perhaps a demonstration from people more familiar with the format of explaining effects in native English might be better. Oh well, if I skip a lunch I’ll be back to even on what it cost to buy this effect.

It is realy the best Icaan. Report this review

I have collecting many Icaan trics. But this one is very genius. The negative reviews are wrong. The trailer shows the complete performance. I can definitely recommend this.
This trick can be done without any preparation, with any normal deck.

correction Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 4th, 2021
I said there was not a full uncut version of the trick. There are 2 viewings; the first one just shows the last part of the effect. Why I bought! Then there is an uncut version but it does not show that at times you have to revert to asking the suit and spelling it out.

factually incorrect Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 1st, 2021
The sale video say uncut performance...but they only show the tail end not the 15 steps you must go through to do the effect.

Worse thing I have ever purchased from Penguin...complex trick to say the least and the explanation is very hard to follow
