    To be clear, Dani's "Ritual" ACAAN that he performed on "Fool Us" did not use any duplicates. He has several versions of "Ritual," one of which is his "Totally Hands Off" version reviewed here, which does use duplicates, but the version he performed on "Fool Us" did not use duplicates, and the deck was fully examinable and did not require any prep work. The version he performed on "Fool Us" can be performed any time with a borrowed deck without any prep. In his ACAAN Projects Chapter 5, Dani explains a principle/method for controlling a free selection to a certain position (for a completely different effect), which Dani employed when he had Allison select and return her card. If you understand that Chapter 5 principle and Dani's ACAAN Projects Chapter 1 "Ritual" (or the "Totally Hands Off" ACAAN), then you will be able to replicate Dani's Ritual "Fool Us" performance.

    I thoroughly enjoy these special “single topic” shows. The best part of each segment, for each trick, is “Here’s what you want to know …..”. For me, this is the most critical point of any review. All I really want to know is whether any trick is within my skill set and whether arts and crafts is involved. Great work.

    • @lewisturner6865
      @lewisturner6865 Před rokem

      One other important detail is whether the trick’s video is a “fair” representation of the effect.

    Brent Braun's Penguin Lecture has a proto-Position Impossible using a deck of cards that we probably all have in a drawer somewhere, and I think I might prefer that to the finished product.
    And, you know, just a solid lecture all round.

  • @Jonathan_Sabov
    @Jonathan_Sabov Před rokem +1

    HG Effect by Shawn Farquhar is my favorite.
    Edit: Looking back I think it's tied with the Ice-Cold ACAAN by Mitchell Kettlewell - the latter is less versatile and has its technical kinks, yet very hard hitting and more "hands-off".

  • @Rob-el8yw

    Not sure it qualifies as an actual CAAN but my favorite take on the plot is from Joshua Jay's first Penguin Live. It was such a great plot with an ending I didn't see coming and just makes for a great parlor effect.

  • @jacksonbollock
    @jacksonbollock Před rokem +2

    Michael Murray is a genius, but from the MindFx stable the effect I feel should be high up this list is Daniel Dorian Johnson's FAST (specifically his BERGFAST). It makes ACAAN incredibly easy and purely about the psychological subtleties. And it's 100% examinable. How isn't it on here!!!!????

    Sorry if this is a benign issue but whenever I go to one of these top 10s, a lot of the times the links will be to products that you can't get anymore or are out of stock. Would you guys be able to point us in the direction of where we could buy it when Penguin doesn't have it or even just not link the out of stock stuff.

    • @penguinmagicshop
      @penguinmagicshop  Před 4 měsíci

      The only product on this list that is not available currently is The Grail by Mike Rose. We removed the link but it sounds like it will be rereleased in the near future. If there is ever a trick that is out of stock make sure to add it to your wishlist and we'll send you an email when we get it back in stock.

      I tend to agree. It's fine as a part of a routine but as a stand alone, it doesn't really impress that much. I also think the one in Corinda is the easiest, it's impromptu and a uses a normal deck. A true any card at any number. Great videos guys thank you.
