ACAAB: Any Card At Any Birthday by Boris Wild - Trick

In this brand new book, Boris offers you his amazing version of this mythical routine. Here is the effect:

A prediction deck is introduced before anything starts and remains in the card case until the end.

A first spectator freely names any number: his birthday or a number from 1 to 52 depending on the variation you perform. He can say any number. No restrictions. No force or equivoque. Totally free choice.

A second spectator freely names any playing card from a deck of fifty-two. No restrictions. No force or equivoque. Totally free choice.
A third spectator takes the prediction deck out of the case and counts down to the named number by turning the cards face up one by one. The freely named card is in the position of to the freely named number! It is as simple and direct as that!

The performer does not touch the cards. He does not even open the card case. The spectator does everything. The card is always revealed at the exact named number...

Note: In his constant care of giving sense to his routines and emotionally involving the spectators, Boris asks for a number corresponding to the birthday of the spectator but any number from 1 to 52 can be named without any restriction.

The book explains it all: working of the routine, set-up, performance, reset, additional ideas, tips, subtleties, etc.

All the details are clearly reviewed with many photos to make this "Any Card At Any Number" effect accessible to everyone.

It is one of Boris Wild's best kept secrets and it is now available so you can learn it too and perform this amazing routine.

"Boris' ACAAB (and the ACAAN described in the same book) is a marvel of ingenuity; it is simple, direct, very effective, the conditions are idyllic, and it works as well on stage as in stand-up or even cocktail conditions."
Vincent Hedan

"Another superbly thought out and ingenious Boris Wild product. Stop looking for the ACAAN 'Holy Grail' and start performing this."
Jon Allen
