Sounds as if we are once again entering holy grail territory. It will be fascinating to see where your compromise has occurred. I wish you luck with this, brehaut.

As usual, it sounds like real magic (holy grail) until that 'one other thing' that isn't mentioned comes into play. I'm sure it plays exactly like your description to spectators (which is all that really matters) but I'm going to go on a limb and suggest you're leaving something out. Sorry, I don't mean to be a jerk. I've just lived and learned. Of course I'd love to be wrong. Best of luck.

Of course there will be a compromise! But that's the beauty and originality of every ACAAN effect.

If brehaut wasn't "leaving something out" he'd be out turning water into wine not releasing a count down to a card trick.

And as a creator myself, I believe we should absolutely be able to hold back information that would reveal our secrets. But there's a world of difference between withholding information and asserting information that is not true. In other words, you don't have to give all the information, but the information you do give should be truthful. I'm assuming the information below is false. Either all of these conditions can be met. Or they can't. And if a condition can't be met, I believe you shouldn't list it as a condition that can be met. I'm not quite sure how anyone could argue otherwise. But if you disagree, I'd love to hear why. 1. only one ungimmicked deck/case is used- it's set down in full view. 2. magician never touches deck again (I'm going to assume this means magician and anyone else in the room but the spectator). 3. spectator freely names any card and number. 4. spectator picks up deck and counts down to that number and flips over the card to find it's their card.

You basically call me a liar when you say that there is a difference between withholding information and asserting information that is not true. Everyone of my posts is 100% factually correct. And in fact, I go probably too far in some of my posts in discussing the effect but many have missed that. Further, others (not me) have made posts about the effect that contain information that is not correct. For instance, you state in your own post that I said only one deck is used---nowhere did I make that statement. You (like some others) have read into it that fact. Now I will tell you---only one deck is used but you did not know that. So before you start asserting that I have made false statements please be a little more careful. All I am doing is setting forth what I believe to be a super strong hands off ACAAN with no forces. By the way, the price on this will be $15 or less---still working out the details. In summary, I understand where you are coming from Platt, but you and others should be very careful before stating that someone's statements are false. Thanks Greg |

I think that Greg has been really honest in answering all the questions, he could have skipped doing it. Of course there will be compromises, but we all know that. Let's wait for the release then, and good luck with your effect, Greg.

Can't and never will understand why ACAAN generates so much negativity and na na na na na whenever a "new" version comes out.
Why not wait until it's available and then decide to buy it or give it a miss. After buying it and trying it, give it an honest review. This statement is not meant FOR ANYONE IN PARTICULAR. It's just that ACAAN seems to allways generate so much crap. Another thought is that after buying and learning a method for this, put in the time to make it a miracle. Be a master of presentation like living legend David Berglas(the one and only ACAAN MASTER). Mike Donoghue |

Let me also reiterate what I said in an earlier post---this method is hard (I won't explain why because I do not want to expose). Most people who will purchase it will not perform it (everyone has it in them to do---they just won't). Although the method is completley different than Berglas---how many people after his book came out are actually doing his Berglas Effect? Why?--not because it isn't amazing---but because it is hard. |

I'm glad to hear the method is difficult brehaut. It means it won't be destroyed by the "I'm not interested if I can't learn it in 5 minutes from a ten year old exposing it on you tube" brigade.

I hate magic when it's said "Easy to do, you can learn it in 10 min...". No, magic needs training, training, an training again before amazing people. The Berglas method is perfect for that because it is difficult, which is what makes its beauty.

In this case, I have not taken any preorders and my plan is to release in the next week or two but no guarantees. Also, it will be very limited and very affordable. Yes--I know this does not make senese but I really just want to share it with a few and get it out there---maybe one day a larger release. I have been burned in the past with my material being resold or infringed upon. Therefore, anyone purchasing will need to agree to a confidentiality agreement. Since it will be extremely limited, each copy will be different so I can keep track of any breaches of the confidentiality agreement. I am even toying with the idea that in exchange for being one of the few that get it at a price that will not exceed $15 (most likely less than that) that you can not even admit to owning it But we will see. Thanks for all the pms and interest. |

Horses for courses, but to me these intentionally vague allusions and marketing ploys don't seem too....err: inspired.
Let's see where this will lead, though.
