Any Card At Any Birthday
Boris Wild
Penguin Magic
(Based on 1 review)
A prediction deck is introduced before the effect starts and remains in its card case. A first spectator names her birth date (or freely names ANY number 1-52). It really is a free choice.
A second spectator freely names ANY playing card. Again, NO restrictions, it's a totally free choice.
A THIRD spectator takes the cards and counts down to the chosen number.
THE CARD ALWAYS MATCHES THE THOUGHT-OF CARD.
No rough and smooth
No sticky cards
No short cards
No table needed
No sleights
No memorized deck or mnemonic work
No formulas or sequences to remember
No mental calculations to learn.
On this jam-packed video, FISM champion Boris Wild teaches his coveted method for one of the most powerful card effects in history.
When Boris first presented ACAAB to the magic community, it was quickly recognized as one of the best methods for the "Any Card At Any Number" plot.
Things to note:
The performer does not touch the cards. He does not even open the card case. The spectator does everything.
Card is always revealed at the exact named number
No stooges involved and no "pre-show work". No assistants required at all
Can be performed on stage, stand-up, close-up and even walk-around
Cards can be freely handled by the spectator
Can be repeated with a different number and a different card each time
Uses a NORMAL deck of cards
Resets in seconds
Can be performed by ANYONE
Additional Features

Versions using a topit or a gimmicked jacket.

THIS is what Any Card At Any Number SHOULD look like.

What we have here is a workable version of an impossible card plot from a very creative magician. This is a one trick DVD but if any trick had the right to be published in that format it would be this plot by this author.
Many of you will already be aware of Boris Wild and his contribution to Any Card at Any Number. If you already have his book you can skip this but if you don't then this is a great find.
This is a workable handling of a classic plot . It should be noted that the name is somewhat of a misnomer, it can be performed as a true any card at any number, it is not limited to the dates on a calender. In the day of Facebook where it is so easy to find personal information online I prefer to perform it with the numbers 1-52 and with this method you are open to that possibility.
It is probably best performed with a jacket. Some ideas are given to adapt it for those who may use a vest but the most developed ideas come from a jacket.
For the purists out there the deck is not out in the open the whole time. It is isolated in the performers pocket. Let's be clear it is still very fair like this and the spectator can inspect it to be sure of no trickery but it should be noted.
Over all you get a fairly easy ACAAN with multiple real world performances. The method's not too bad, the reset is easy and you don't need a table. If you like how t is performed in the trailer than you will probably like this.
