Sébastien Macak & Philippe Molina - A.C.A.A.T (Any Card At Any Time) APK+VIdeo​​​​​​​
This is a great app for your smart phone and the reactions are totally killer. You (the performer) take out two decks of cards and place them on a table. The spectator takes one deck and you take the other. The spectator can shuffle their deck and they can choose any card they want while your deck remains in the box (or you can shuffle the deck if you want). The spectator truly has a free choice of card (in fact, they can merely think of a card if they want to mentally choose a card). The spectator’s card is shuffled back into the deck and the performer indicates that he will find the card and asks the spectator to time him using the stopwatch function on the performer’s phone. When the card is found, the spectator hits stop on the stopwatch and looks at the time. So, for example, it took the performer 12.10 seconds to find the card. The spectator adds the numbers together (12+10) and comes to a total of 22. Then, the spectator deals down 22 cards from the performer’s deck and it matches the spectator’s chosen card. It really kills! Jaws open, minds befuddled, stares of astonishment!



The presented routine is just one of many ways you can present this trick, once you know the secret. This trick is based upon a stacked deck and the app comes preset with Tamariz’s Mnemonica stack. Notably, you do not need to have memorized the stack, but just have one deck in stacked order so do not be scared away if you do not have that skill under your belt. The app makes it incredibly easy to use a stacked deck. You can also input an alternate stacked deck if you wish or make up your own, but I went with the Tamariz stack because that is the one I learned years ago and it was already programmed into the app. Even if I did not know the Mnemonica stack, I would have just used it because it is ready to go and like I said above, you don’t need to have anything memorized.
