This way you can adjust the break up or down a card or two before the cut, vs. cutting the deck twice.

Jan's post was of the essence of method, when takin into context,but thinking of just the cased method,i see where drphil is coming from.

Robert P. Special user Kansas 632 Posts	Posted: Jul 19, 2014 12:47 pm 1 Hi Matthew, it appears hocus-pocus.com has it in stock. MJM Magic currently shows they will be receiving more copies on August 15. If you're willing to wait, copies do show up every once in while for sale on the Café (I got my copy a couple of weeks ago). Good luck.

lcwright1964 Special user Toronto 569 Posts	Posted: Aug 6, 2014 10:20 pm 0 I have enjoyed it very much and am looking forward to attending his lecture and workshop when he is in Toronto in a couple of weeks. The ACAAN is, in my humble opinion, the only named-card CAAN out there worth performing. The move is so simple and diabolical that I still can't catch it with repeat watching of Asi's performances (I bought the trick separately through Dan and Dave and don't regret it.) My second favourite is Barrie Richardson's Impromptu CAAN, but that requires a physical selection. Barrie's solution to the named card ACAAN in Theatre of the Mind puts suspicious restrictions on the number range. Asi's solution does not. Les
drmagico Loyal user 253 Posts	Posted: Aug 7, 2014 01:29 pm 1 Just saw Asi last night at a lecture. Everything he performed and taught is extremely thought out with attention to every detail. He performed new material as well as items from Chapter One. I agree that his ACAAN is great along with other items from the booklet. A must read!

SHEESH! This is a terrific method but it is downright impossible unless you employ a way to easily and quickly riffle to the right number of cards without looking. Even Matthew Johnson's version is difficult. Anyone know of a method where the deck can be out on the table before the card and number are named that doesn't involve Asi Wind's method in regards to uncasing the deck? Asi Wind's version does not require a "riffle count" but as this is not a protected forum it wouldn't be prudent to get into methods, etc. I love this version and on the RARE occasion I do an ACAAN, this is one of the two that I perform. Agreed, Steven. I bought the trick from D&D. Asi elucidates the method very clearly. I avoid knuckle busters like the plague, but even I have this down more or less. I can't do the move as imperceptibly as Asi does in the videos, but it isn't nearly as difficult as Magicmagician83 implies. Things have to set up correctly, though, and Asi covers this in Chapter One and even more throughly, with some refinements, in the AACAAN video download. Les
BigG New user 4 Posts	Posted: Apr 25, 2024 11:03 am 0 I know this thread is ten years old, but I am a newbie to the site. I am looking for a copy of Chapter One, but, it seems to be out of stock everywhere I look. Can anyone help me find a copy.
