Failure at Any Number By Victor Pineapple

Any place they name... Is the only place it's not. 

Card at any number effects are magician-porn, we love them, we collect multiple methods, but few of them are able to garner more than a golf clap from real people.

But Failure at any number turns this famous CAAN (card at any number) plot on its head - and lowers expectations by apparently failing. So when the kicker ending is finally revealed, it blows the roof off.

The Effect...

In this effect the audience names any number from 1 to 52, looking for just one card.

It's not there, and they applaud your failure. 

But then it's revealed that the entire deck is the same card, the card they were looking for.

And the only position they named, was the only position it didn't exist in. 
 

Benefits:

• They can genuinely name any number.
   
• You don't need precision pinky counts... Victor will teach you a very easy, clever & invisible way to get it there every single time.
   
• The deck actually ends completely examinable.
   
• Nothing is taken away.
   
• There's nothing for them to accidentally discover.
