- This is a CAAN Style effect with a double blank deck. If you already have a blank deck laying around, give it a shot. It is quite literally just a standard double blank deck and one regular playing card of your choice.

This is an alternative to Craig Petty's Quantum deck. This is *NOT* his method. This will give you almost the exact same effect though. If you already have a blank deck laying around, give it a shot. It is quite literally just a standard double blank deck and one regular playing card of your choice. For those of you who may have had concerns about the Quantum deck's examinability (though I doubt you should) this has absolutely nothing to hide. It is 100% examinible by lay people. magicians, cats, birds and even your grandma! Enjoy!
Cheeky effect I like it.
Very good, thank you from Sweden.
Yes. This is real nice one. We can save 40 Dollars. I love craig, but this is just as good. Well Done Jay!!!
Hi Jay, im a year behind schedule, lol. I hope you are doing wonderful, sir.
You are the best.
I have been looking for a trick to do with an all blank deck that i bought about a year ago, around the same time when you put this awesome video on youtube. Thank you very much for showing how this beautiful trick is done. It's fantastic.
I just saw a video of the trick, and i needed to learn the tutorial. Im glad that i found your channel.
I just subscribed. You will be hearing from me more often, as i look frwd to watching your other great card magic tricks.
I was thinking of how cool it would be if the spectator actually found their own card in the all blank deck that had a name to it, like the 6 of diamonds in the all blank deck of cards. What do you think of this idea?
I am going to put a duplicate 6 OF DIAMONDS in the blank deck at the 4th or 5th position, i forgot where , but i will watch it again. Then, put that deck back in the box and put the box away until i need it.. I will start with the regular deck and force that 6 OF DIAMONDS on them. I will then put their card on top of the deck, and then they can shuffle it somewhere in the deck. I will make it comical by thanking them while i put the regular deck back in the box, acting like the trick is over. Lol. Some people might be confused, just like my mom sometimes gets. So i will tell them that we will get back to the regular deck to finish the trick.
I can just see the look on their faces when i put the cards away and pull out my blank deck, and continue your trick from there.
This way, not only do they find a regular card in a blank deck, but they also find their chosen card.
What do you think of this idea?
Im going to perform it on my friends on saturday and then on my mom on sunday, when i go over to her house to visit and help her out.
If you want to go back to the regular deck after they find their card in the blank deck, you can show them that their card has vanished from the regular deck.
You can do this after they pick the 6 of Diamonds, then find it in the blank deck. Everyone shows the card has vanished. Right after putting it on top of the deck. I like to do things differently if i can.
You can use dble sided tape or roughing balm and put it on top card of the regular deck. Then, after you force their card, they look at it, and you put their card on top of the tape. Then you can shuffle the cards, and / or you can have them shuffle the deck before putting it in the box.
Their card will stick behind the top card. Shuffle the deck, and make up some funny story that you needed that done for your next show. Put the deck back in the box. Then, do the trick with the blank cards.
Then, if you want, you can go back to the regular deck and show them that their card had vanished.
Thanks.
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY,
Glen Polen
just as effective as Craig's Quantum deck but much easier and less math to get the end result. Well done. I have a deck of blank faces that I used a roughing stick on to create my own Quantum deck.
Woah! Looks like I was a little late viewing this video. I sprung for the Quantum deck but I got to tell you, this is every bit as impactful as Craig's version. And with totally un gimmicked cards! Yes, simpler is better. And having the 5 to 45 range available to choose from, really sews this method up for me. Great thinking here! Thanks!
Wow! With this method you can ask the audience to finish the count, for example. (You can flip the deck in this moment)
Yes, you could, which is pretty cool as well. I've been using this method for a caan or acaan with a regular deck for a while. It's actually better suited for the double blank deck presentation. With a regular deck to do an acaan it does require you finding the card they name and moving it to the 5th position from the top, then half passing the top 6 or 7 cards to the bottom which isn't difficult but takes something away with the extra moves. Thanks for the comment. Have a great day.
@@bloodmoney80 you could take their freely selected signed card and do a marlo tilt inserting it in position five. Do a false cut and flip. That would be easy.
@@bradrobbery788 For sure. 👍
Loved it, I do have Craig's version coming but I like this routine.. Thank you for showing and sharing..
This is better
This is gold!
This is mind blowing so simple but huge effect.
Bravo Sir. Brilliantly obvious and exceptionally devious.
Very smart trick !!! Thanks for showing how it works...
LOVE IT! Thanks for sharing.
If you don't want to splash the cash on the quantum deck, this is a devious and clever alternative.
Craig's a clever guy and has put out some great things. From what I understand, the instructional video that comes with Quantum has a lot of content, different routines and is very thorough. So it's probably worth the asking price. He told me he also covers this Richardson version in his quantum download. Thanks for stopping by and have a good one!
Far better than Graig Pettys crap. No deceptive ad copy’s or trailers. No gimmicks. Nothing. Well done. 😊
After seeing Craig’s, I had the same idea as you. Good handling on your part. Thank you for sharing. Also thought of having a previously signed card appear, or combining it with Daniel Madison’s advocate.
This is a brilliant effect. Nick Trost as many wonderful card effects. 👍😊👍😊
Genius man. Thx for sharing
This is one of those deals where I'm like "Now why the hell didn't I think of that?" lol. There's a real beauty in that kind of simplicity. [Rummages for blank deck]
Thanks
Excellent! The subtlety and effectiveness remind me of Nick Trost. 👍 👍
Love nick Trost. I own many of his packet tricks. One of the first tricks I ever bought was razzle dazzle. He has an effect with esp cards I really like called dream of the hermit. If your in to Trost, give those a look.
@@bloodmoney80 Trost was brilliant. I'll look for the effect you mentioned.
I love this and I think it’s better than quantum. Very crafty! 👍😊👍
I agree, plus this method all of the cards can be handed out to BOTH magicians & lay-people alike.
@@VancouverMagic yes and the force will always face the same way example always the back of the card. 👍😊👍
It is
Wow, very clever
That’s very clever. I’m waiting for my Quantum Deck to come in the mail, but this might be just as good. 👍
Glad you like it. Thanks for commenting. Have a good one!
This is easier
Very Awesome thank you. just saved me$$
Brilliant!💯👍
Very cool!
Good effect
I have the download of quantum I'm not happy with maths, this is much easier, thank you.
Thanks for stopping by. I'm glad you like it. I'm a fan of all types of tricks and methods but I personally like the simple and cheeky type tricks. The move in this is so simple, yet effective. Anything that involves even simple math can sometimes be a pain in the heat of the performance. This, you can concentrate on performance and the moment you need to cause some distraction, you can patter however you like. Come up with something humorous, pretend like you may have forgotten the count and spread the cards to recount them, while doing the move. Just have to use the imagination. Have a good day.
Wdym the math is easy
Don’t like to worry about math either and what side you count
This method was published over 20 years by Bill Goldman in his effect called Boomerang.
I like it, thanks
Very nice
You could justify stopping by asking for the number a second time rather than pointing to the pile.
Very nice problem solving
Nice Job, Prime Time!
Ty for sharing I used the same principle years ago to fool my nephews w my version of ACAAN eg. so if they chose 13 it was the bottom card card up with another card above that so when I hit 12 I turn the card face up as misdirection then flip the deck at the same time then slowly deal 13 which was there card fools them every time lol
pretty cool i do something similar with a black deck just Marlo tilt the card into 2nd to bottom of stack you can then ask for a number between 1 and 50 :) new sub thanks for posting :)
I think that using the blank deck with Barrie Richardson's ACAAN gets rid of a lot of the up-front work in that routine. Then you only need concentrate on the flip while counting out the cards. This was a good marriage of the two effects.
I agree. It really does work quite well. Thank you for your comment. Have a great day!
@Jay's World Of Magic & Mystery usually it’s a regular deck??
@@Davidblaine18 yes, the original Richardson method was an impromptu version with a regular deck. I'll link ya to it.
pdfcoffee.com/impromptu-acaan-by-barrie-richardson-pdf-free.html
@Jay's World Of Magic & Mystery I have quantum and I like this version. Better
@@Davidblaine18 me too. I didn't do the greatest job of teaching this here honestly. So maybe reading the Richardson text will help people to understand even the blank deck version better.
How would you decide which card to look for?
1. Do this as part of a routine with one card, palm it, and transfer to the blank deck bottom, taking care to slip it one or two places from the bottom.
2. I find E-Q can be weak.
3.
Or use a plain, old deck, palm their selection and place face up on the bottom which is loaded with at least 2 double-backers as camo. Thks.
If you want to do it with a regular deck. You need to get their selected or named card into the fifth position from the top, then take the top 7 or 8 cards and move them to the bottom while flipping them over, via a pass type move. Then you would perform the count the same way I show for the blank deck version.
With the blank deck, you can just do it as a CAAN. What printed card you use doesn't really matter. It's about them choosing a number and the only printed card being at that number. What the card is doesn't matter so much.
When doing a Christian show" I use a photo of Jesus. It absolutely makes a believer out of an atheist.lol, Of course it's all in the sincerity and presentation of the routine. ALSO, I don't use a playing card and I don't do any other magic. Put your thinking cap on and dream up another way to use this effect. It's amazing and clean. Magic is such a wonderful art. -keith
This is true, this idea could be transformed in many ways. I like presenting just the method and the basics of an effect. So people can put there own spin on things and put their own personal touch on it. Yours is great idea if you do Christian shows. I myself am an atheist and would never use this in that way. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Have a great day!
Jesus. Ha. The greatest magician who fooled billions of people
@@meatclaw7292 That's not very nice. There are billions of us dumb asses who believer and it gives us piece of mind. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Suggestion, when you die have them pack you in ice. That way you'll burn a little slower, giving you a little time to pray like hell lol and beg Jesus to save you. Probably wont help but at least the rest of us will have a devilish laugh. My kindest regards, -keith
It seems to me in Craig Pretty a separate part of the deck (top, middle, bottom) there are such double cards very often, probably through one, that is, every second) on a special spray))
You are correct sir.
Better than Q Deck!
How didn't I think to use this method with a double blank deck?
I believe Eugene Burger is credited initially.
Just performed it for a friend and got caught 😬 but i love the method so much! Guys how would you cover the move?
Eye contact is important. Remember the spectator will usually look where your looking. Pretend like you forgot what number they said. And then ask them again while dealing. Then spread the cards on the table as you do that to recount what you have there. do the flip move. Then finish the count.
@@bloodmoney80 yess ok, thanks for advice! I also want to try to rotate the deck in the action of adjusting my sleeves, pass it from one hand to another and finish the count from another hand
@@akopazoyan7697 that's also a very good idea.
The effect u revealed is from Mitchel kentwell acaan by ellusionist
I am not familiar with that effect. It was Barrie Richardson's impromptu acaan that I used here. His used a regular deck. I just added the blank deck. Thanks for looking. Have a good one.
So much better than quantum deck
круто!!! спасибо!!!!!!!!!!!!!
👍👍
Ice cold acaan method?
Awesome take on the effect. Quantum deck is an RS deck?
I don't own it, so I can't be sure. That's my guess from the demo. For it to look as clean as it looked in the trailer I think so. Maybe not the whole deck is RS but a stock on top and bottom maybe. Then you can count cards singly or the roughed pair as a single and you would be able to count to whatever number the spectator names that way. I could be completely wrong though lol I dunno. I swear I've come across another effect that used that method but can't for the life of me recall it's name or creator.
@Jay's World Of Magic & Mystery You're not thinking of Joshua Jay's Out of Sight are you?
Whilst it doesn't use an R&S method as such, it can be seen as similar to Craig Petty's Quantum Deck....
@@brianmagicman3556 it wasn't Joshua Jay's, it didn't use a blank deck. It did use RS to achieve the count. There is another blank deck caan by Adrian Vega called scaandal which uses RS too. RS is used to hide the force card though. So you have multiples of the force card. Quantum deck is cool because the force card is a single, normal card that could be given away.
@Jay's World Of Magic & Mystery Ahh ok
Yes I've seen scaandal and a ton of other acaan effects
Are you going to the Blackpool Magic Convention this week?
I am and I only live 5 minutes away 😁
@@brianmagicman3556 no. I live in the United States. I also don't go out much lol
Is this in one of Barrie's books or videos, and if so which?
I believe it was just a stand alone PDF. Impromptu ACAAN by Barrie Richardson is the title.
@@bloodmoney80 Thank you! Great video! Subscribed.
This is some Mitchell kettlewell shit... Good stuff!
Someone else mentioned Mitchell Kettlewell in a comment as well. I'm not familiar with him or his effect. This is a variation on a Barrie Richardson's Impromptu ACAAN. Thank you for your comment. Have a great day!
@@bloodmoney80 yes bro! It's Barrie Richardson's method... this guy Mitchell kettlewell did a take on this classic for his release on a trick called Ice cold acaan from Ellusionist a few years back... With proper credit too... He's a really cheerful chap... Positive dude.. That's why I mentioned... Anyway your shit is good too!
@@akashchakrabarty5708 oh hey yea I gotcha. I appreciate your kind words. Thanks
And I paid $40.00. It's not a good value.
Yours is a WORKER.
There is an actual Acaan that uses a similar method and its phenomenal.
Barrie Richardson impromptu ACAAN uses this method with a regular deck. From the late 90's I believe. Then there is ice cold ACAAN which works In a similar way but you can't deal the cards face up. That's by Mitchell Kettlewell.
This is better.
I would put the face card second from the bottom in case they call the number two.
I believe Craig put a lot of work into Quantum and he’s a great magician, however in the trailer he stresses that the spectator can FREELY choose ANY number which is untrue and he explains the truth in the instructions.
For me, if a spectator cannot choose any number and I have to instruct them to choose another number it kills the effect. No matter how you word it the spec and audience will notice and remember that it was never a freely chosen number.
Yeah you could put it in the second spot. I had considered that after I finished filming. Then if they named one it could even fly. Deal one card then it's next. Two obviously works, then you would be able to go all the way up to 51. The original effect used a regular deck so you do want to have a few extra cards after the selection to make it work. Thank for looking and commenting. Have a good day.
@@bloodmoney80 why
So this variation can also be performed with a deck full of double backers, can't it??
Yes of course.
@@bloodmoney80
In my opinion, the impact would be harder by using a deck full of double backers. Thanks for your answer.
@@dreamsdreams9493 yes, I say in the video that you can use a full deck and that I just didn't have a full deck. Thanks for looking. Have a good one!
@@dreamsdreams9493 I actually misread your original comment, sorry. You could use double backers but your right, I think the impact wouldn't be as powerful. Something about seeing the one printed card amongst all that blankness.
@@bloodmoney80
Thanks
Nice one. I’m guessing Quantum uses R&S
I don't own it, so I am not 100% sure but I believe it does. Thanks for the comment. Have a good day!
@@bloodmoney80 nope deck is completely examinable
@@markkennedy5955 this seams to be a point for debate. Some who reviewed the product have said a magician would find the secret if examined. I personally am not willing to throw down 40$ to make this determination. That's why I have posted this alternative version, for others who feel the same as I.
@@bloodmoney80 I just watched another channel reviewing the Quantum & you can literally hear the difference in sound on every other card being dealt (if you know what I mean)
@@VancouverMagic interesting, I have not seen this review in particular but I do know what your saying. Makes sense. Thank you for the comment. Have a good one.
A way better method this is and will just cost you the price of a blank deck. I think pettys product is overpriced anyway lol. Cheers buddy 👍
IMO, It's not as clean as Craig Petty's The Quantum Deck Official Trailer.
In this performance there's unseen move that should be questionable if it performed in continous live shot / close up performance.
Yeah, everybody's style is different and will have different preferences. The move done in a live situation while pattering, with slight audience management will fly by easy. There are situations with Craig's as well that if they name a number out of the 10 - 30ish range you have to do a half pass which is similar to having to flip the whole deck anyway. The version I show has a wider range of numbers that can be named and makes it so everything is comfortably examinable afterward. Also with Craig's, some time the card is delt face up, sometime face down. These are all differences that will make a difference to some and not to others. Thanks for looking and have a good day.
@@bloodmoney80 just so you know the updated instructions for the Quantum Deck have a range of 6 to 47. I also go into the Richardson method on the tutorial.
Thanks for sharing.
@@magic-tv Very very good. I should have known you would cover Richardson's in your tutorial. Your a thorough guy. I appreciate the comment. Thanks for stopping by. Have a good one!
Nah, even Craig goes into Barrie Richardson’s handling with his deck to cover certain outs. When I saw that, I questioned the whole point of quantum deck. With a normal deck, it is cleaner. Misdirecting for a move that flies by is easier in real life, than on cam.
Not the QD method, nice solution though.
Hi Jay, about 4 or 5 years ago I was messing around with some roughing fluid, and also had recently purchased the "The Grail" CAAN effect. If you are not familiar with that effect , check it out here: czcams.com/video/mpK_2KzEEPc/video.html I replaced the two sets of duplicate Queens in that effect with four dups of a single queen E.G., four Queens of clubs. I rough-smoothed each QC card I.E., it's face to the back of a stranger card.These four "stranger r-s pairs were distributed at the same numeric intervals as in "The Grail", effect. I used the same mathematical formular described in the Grail and the "card box displacement" sleight also described in "The Grail." It was no brilliant idea on my part, but it replaced the visible duplicate queens in the deck, and also avoided the need for the envelope prediction with a double suited index card. I am going to start using Barrrie Richardson's method you kindly presented here!
Thanks,
Allen
P.S. I would probably have a card selected from a red back deck, and have it signed, and contol it ito a gamblers cop or classic plam it. I'd remove a blue back deck from it's box, and in that process replace the selected "red back" card on the bottom of the blue back deck. Instead of turning over the deck, I'd use a cover pass to get four cards from the bottom of the deck to the top of the deck, under the cover card. This places the selected red backed card five cards down in the face down blue deck, and you complete the effect as per the Richardson method. Yep, more sleight of hand, but also a pretty good transportaion of a selected, signed card from one deck to a spectator named position in another deck.
There are a lot of cool things you can do with this method. It can be the base to layer a cool routine upon. Of course it can always just be used for a quick basic CAAN as well. The regular deck version is nice because it is totally impromptu and can be done with a borrowed deck. I am familiar with the grail. I own the gold edition. The addition of the roughing is a good idea. Thanks for looking and commenting. Have a good day!
You better be the Guru of misdirection to do it your way. I can tell you if you have more than one spectator at a time you will get burned. Who performs for magicians anyway? BTW, you need to get yourself some Sin-Aid.🤧
Dude came up with this method many years ago. Tried and true method. I've come across many people teaching this method as well, some even selling downloads with the method. They all seam to suggest it will fly. according to Craig, he teaches this version in the tutorial for quantum deck as well. I've performed the regular deck version before, with that there is a little more room for misdirection. If you get people to look at the cards you've dealt on the table by spreading them, the split second is good enough to table the rest of the cards and flip as you are doing so. Sorry, about the sniffing, coke problem. Thanks for looking. Have a good one.
I will add, that I don't know why anyone would want to fool magicians either. It seams to be a selling point for some. Hell, I don't even let spectators touch anything. No examination for you. Everybody's different though. Everybody has got different styles. Some things work better for some than others. Effects with rough and smooth seam to be out of style these days as well.
@yendor Guru of misdirection? I can almost openly flip a Blank deck in front of a spectator and get away with it, Why you ask? Because both sides are blank! If I can do a no cover pass then surely I can half pass a blank deck, actually not even a half pass. This method is actually examinable not that it needs to be but because you can have a much higher number range. You would have to be super paranoid to not use this method and it’s not even an amazing trick, there is no reason I would ever use this or quantum simply because there are much better things to do with a blank deck such as point blank by Gregory Wilson, well to be fair with this version you could add it to Gregory Wilson’s point blank Routine as an additional reveal.
Guru of misdirection... if you can't flip a blank deck without getting caught then your doing something majorly wrong. have a word with yourself...
If your comment were true, card under box would be a pipe dream. Coins under salt shaker would be impossible, and Tommy Wonders cups and Balls would not exist. Tommy loads a Bag, that last on the table, into the cup, thats on the table, while being surrounded and filmed.
This was published 20 years by Bill Goldman in his booklet / effect BOOMERANG. Nothing is new in magic :)
Tell me about it. I learned this from a Barrie Richardson pamphlet. I've also seen similar effects on dvds and downloads in more recent times. It's such an ancient art. It feels like the most valuable principles of magic have been created, copied or have been recreated a many times over. Even when you see something you think is new and clever, later you find out it was taken from some old text that everybody has forgotten about.
I like quantum deck way better Because you can literally tell them to burn your hands the whole time.
Nice passive aggressive theory crafting.
Listen I think anybody who knows much about cards knows how the trick is done but why would you deliberately expose a product of someone else. you’re no different to every other expose channel of others magic. You’re not clever cause you’ve worked out an effect of someone else. Your effect is flawed as well it won’t work under fire the cards shouldn’t go out of site.
First off, I didn't expose his trick. Second, this is also not my version. Clearly stated, it's Barrie Richardson's method. Also, at the end I talk about flipping the deck. I wasn't trying to hide it in this video. I am only showing how it's done. I openly show myself putting the card into position as well. If it was meant to be fooling, would I be doing that? Third, this way of doing an ACAAN that I show is as old as the hills. I purchased more than a few products who use this as the method. I'm at least not profiting from it. Fourth, if a magician wants to keep his trick a secret, perhaps don't sell it to anybody with $40.00 in their pocket. Also, if anybody who knows about cards could figure it out, how come all the famous magicians in the trailer couldn't?
This isn’t yours to teach
In a current magic climate that's become so commercial and people are selling overpriced rehashed effects all over the large magic sites. I don't think showing people a spin on a very old trick, on an unmonetized CZcams channel is a problem. Conjurors have been around since ancient Egypt. First documented performance of cups and balls was 2700BC. Every magic idea at this point is a modification of an old one. 90% of what you find at magic dealers isn't original. Magic is something that should be enjoyed, fun and shared with people who are interested. Not protected and hidden away so a select group can profit off of it. It's the year 2023 with internet and smart devices. If somebody wants to know how something is done they can find an answer.
