Abhinav Bothra – The Fortuitous ACAAN (+ PDF)

Description

A virtually self-working ACAAN with plenty of audience involvement.

We all know whenever the audience tries to reverse engineer or recreate a trick and fail at it; they conclude with a common statement – He must have done something sneaky.

The Fortuitous ACAAN works to counter just that. It brings wonder out of the hands of the performer at the same time ensures that the control always rests with him. Here is how it goes:

A deck gets shuffled by 4 people while 3 other people decide on the Number, Value and Suit. The shuffled deck gets collected and the cards get dealt face-up and the card right after the named number is the decided upon card.

Features:

• Involves up to 8 participants
• Examinable deck (uses only 52 cards)
• Cards can be dealt face up
• Looks like a self-working wonder
