However if you have the wrong card it won't match you're prediction. If you mess up you mess up I would go for the stronger reveal. No guts no glory.

A friend performed this for me tonight, and it's both ingenious and super clean. You know how sometimes when you buy a trick you're disappointed when you figure out how it works? You'll appreciate this even more when you learn how it works. Five *** stars, I love it!

Thisis by far one of the cleverest methods of performing this kind of effect I have ever seen!
There is no heat, it's fun to perform, and it definitely creates that ahhh moment! |

I think this is a wonderful trick. I start by showing stuff to my wife - she of the eagle eye - and she had no clue. This is one of those ideas that one just has to applaud and say how brilliant it is - and hope that iits inventors make a great return. I like the presentation of producing the prediction from the envelope first and then saying there is no going back. I love it and wish I could even think of being as inventive as this. I would like to be able to buy a spare card case without buying the whole,thing again. But a small quibble.

When you are showing a few of the cards dealt before and after the selected number, just make sure you go at least X-number of cards in one direction. (If you have the trick you will know what that means.) That will bring up the other key and then you will have confirmed which card should be revealed. |

Another way is to simply put a subtle mark on the back of one of the f cards. Then you will know easily for the prediction reveal.

Well anyway, I was intrigued with this trick X-act, but I wasn't sure about 45.00 dollars. I was lucky enough to win an auction on Ebay that had a brand new X-act, and a slightly used trick called Blink for 21.99. It was an auction, but I was the only one who bid. Yay me. Does anybody know anything about Blink? I think it's a gimmicked card transpo

I have never had an issue tipping out the prediction second. The Spectators just see one card come out of the envelope and that's it, show the envelope empty and your done.
I think the Mystery of what is in the envelope builds the overall effect rather than just turning over the card, for non open prediction effects its usual to reveal the prediction last. Otherwise it leaves the spectator thinking why did they not just reveal the prediction up front after the number had been selected before the deal down. For me its more logical to drop the card out of the envelope last. I also prefer presentation 1 of X-ACT with the envelope. And I agree with oombob regarding the presentation. I'm now looking around for an ACAAN effect that is as clean and easy to perform as the PCAAAN. Could anyone recommend one, that is a worker. |
