I saw that HocusPocus.Com is now selling Eduardo K. fine version of the miracle effect Any Card at Any Number with big Jumbo Cards.
Eduardo showed me the inner workings of this effect at FISM and believe me this is a fantastic gimmicked deck to produce a miracle. The effect was pretty easy to perform. The deck itself is a miracle, lot of work behind the special deck. Because of the huge cards, yo can do this for a very big audience.
The method was brilliant, it was almost a shock when Eduardo showed me the secret: he is hiding the devil inside the deck. The card case was also special made for this effect. When you see the secret you will probably laugh out loud.

Price is $299 us.

I wish that it is pretty good and well made for that price.

I like the ACAN plot.

But again for that price It must be different from any other method...

Anyone know if this will be made available as a normal sized deck of cards? Jumbo cards scream "fake" to an audience as it is something not normally seen in everyday life. Besides, I'm doing parlour / close-up so there's no justification for pulling out a jumbo deck. I mean why all of a sudden do I pull out a jumbo deck when every other effect I have been doing has been done with regulation sized cards?

This sounds like a good ACAAN so I'm hoping a normal sized version will be made available.

Craig Crossman

I suspect that there is a kind of mechanism involved in this method where a jumbo card box is more than necessary.

So I doubt that it could be done with a regular deck.

Maybe he has a NANO version like the Ipod thing...

You can let the spectators examine the cards and the box.
If they thinks its fake after an examination, then nothing will fool them.

Mats can you comment as to whether Eduardo can or will be able to make this in regular size cards?

Impossible 1 To 52 by Eduardo Kozuch:

They have different solutions these effects but are similar in concept.

Another great thing from Eduardo:

*DIVERSE APPEARENCES OF GOLD FISH
*APPEARING OR DISAPPEARING COINS.
*CHANGING OF DOLLAR BILLS OR PIECES OF PAPER.
*DUPLICATIONS OR APPEARANCES OF SILKS
*TRANSFORMATION OF WATER INTO JUICE

Great gimmick for stage magic...

I have been told from a reliable source that the box is completely examinable by the spectators,and there is nothing to hide inside.


My interest is going up...

It sounds extremely impressive... I'm waiting for a real review though.

I got many mails asking me if this effect is the same than impossible 1 to 52.
Impossible 1 to 52 is a CAAN effect, which will be released also with giants cards , but the one Kjellstrom is talking about, is the one I showed in the fism, and is ACAAN effect (by the way,Kjellstrom: thank you very much for your nice words about my effect )

So, any news on this? Anyone got this yet?

Hope It didn't sound too good to be true...

My friend saw this Jumbo card effect at FISM, and told me the details... I wonder if it is the same as the main method of the book "Meant to be"... but only using Jumbo cards......?

No, it isn't in "Meant to Be..." cardfreakhk.

This is Eduardo's effect, not John Born's.

.....but actually, the ACAAN that John's been doing at his lecture could very easily be done with a jumbo deck of cards. Different than the straight forward "card dump," but I could see it being very effective/dramatic on stage.

I heard Hocus Pocus shipped this.
Does anyone get this?

I got mine yesterday and it is really fantastic! I ordered mine at the FISM and it took a while, because every deck is handmade and tested by Eduardo himself.
You get a giant Deck (with cards) and three other extra Decks (without cards).
The cards are all back laminated. He describes everything in detail. Everything is as he told me. You do not have to memorize a deck, the deck is not touched by the magician,the deck lies on the table in full view of the spectator the whole time. The number and the card is free chosen (no force, no stooge).Eduardo worked 3 years on the solution of this trick. He is a really creative thinker and very nice! Good job Eduardo. I love your ACAAN!

I have now joined the ACAAN club. This is very clever, certainly worth the outlay.
Good quality.

I am anxiously awaiting a review

The method is new, subtle and incredible!
But, Magic is effect.

I've purchased a lot of these ACAAN effects only to learn memorization, proding, leading etc is required. I like the idea of the BIG cards certainly but I would hate to get stuck with a $299 effect I may not use because of some words of ommission.

Literally you can lay the deck on the table in FULL VIEW? Pick a speec ask then for a card? Ask them for a number? Have someone else open the deck, count to that number and that will be the card?

Huh? Sounds exciting.
