Hi Atlas,
I was in a hurry this morning, but wanted to say something about your announcement. Unfortunately, I was using my iphone (and get frustrated with the tiny keypad) and, therefore, the extreme brevity of the post. What I would like to say is that I wish you all the best with your release on the 28th and I know people are going to love "The Crusade." Regards, Steve

Well, I did a fast read and run through of the original version. It works flawlessly. I will say this is super and well worth $27.00. I love how Steve and Andrew write about specific details during the presentation description. Details describing the psychology of why you are doing each step and what it cements in the audiences mind. Very professional guys and a great touch!! The effect described is what happens. I will definitely be using this.

Here are my thoughts in a completely unbiased review:
I think this is an important step forward for the any card at any number plot. It creates some wonderful moments of awe. The imagery included in the routine is absolutely stunning. I know that I personally want to use the script exactly as written. I have no doubt that this will fool any audience. Not only is it brilliantly constructed but it's such an entertaining routine to watch and also perform. At first I was a little worried that I would never get the script down, but after rehearsing two or three times it was amazing how easily it came. On first reading it's gonna seem like a mouthful. But when you try it out for yourselves you will see that it's rather simple. This routine really does a great job of making it seem like the magician does something miraculous rather than a coincidence. I think this is something that has been missing from all other any card at any number effects so far. It's a huge improvement over the traditional methods. This really does make it seem like you can read minds. Your audience will be convinced that you somehow knew the card and the number even though the spectators never say or write it. There's even something that Atlas talks about in those moments when someone challenges you to name the number that allows you to instantly do so. As mentioned earlier, there is a little bit of procedure to follow but it makes perfect sense and the procedure actually makes the effect appear even more impossible. The procedure eliminates any knowledge about the cards that the magician could possibly have. The routine as written is also heavily based around being able to read people's facial expressions which is a really cool addition and something that I have always found intriguing for laymen. Atlas also provides a number of various handlings and methods. One of which involves a completely hands-free method and one which involves a magician fooling move. I personally will be adding that magician fooling move into all of my performances because it fits my style perfectly. Atlas also teaches something called "The Hustle" which is another aspect you can add into the routine. He also discusses a perfect follow-up effect that will really give you a nice round routine to perform any time, anywhere, with borrowed cards at a moments notice. I have never really been a fan of the second routine that he mentions until now. I'll definitely be giving this a shot to see how the routine plays out. Great work Atlas and Andrew. I really enjoyed this. I know I'll be using it this weekend at a festival that I have. And I know I'll be using it at MANY other times as well. |

"The routine as written is also heavily based around being able to read people's facial expressions"
Is this largely dependent on this technique for success? |

Having read the description (though, not this entire thread), I can only say that this would be very easily and efficiently accomplished with about 90 seconds of pre-show work. I can hardly think of anything more streamlined than that.
It's all in the reflexes.

Even so, the whole point of this is the presentation. Using Preshow to accomplish THIS effect (which is really more entertaining and magical that the usual ACAAN presentation) would really be pointless |

RNK - thanks for the kind words ... Makes the hours working through each action and justifying each step with the scripting worthwhile
Magic maddy - please let us know how your performances go this weekend .. We both feel it is a good piece to have at your disposal any time any where there is a deck of cards, can even be an incomplete dog eared deck All the best Andrew |
