The PERFECT ACAAN! (You don't even touch the deck) - Magic Tutorial

A hands-free, no sleight of hand, no maths ACAAN where the spectator can shuffle and deal the cards themselves! This is one of my favourite tricks, a perfect any card at any number straight from my repertoire

100% agree with you. While pros are blowing people's minds with svengali decks, beginners are saying it's too simple. What a paradox! Btw, I just discovered your channel. I love your stuff!

[jerrymaurer]

Great tutorial. I’m psyched as I own a Svengali deck and will run to perform this trick!

[curtcoleman]

This is awesome! Some magicians may call it old or amateurish, but the payoff is HUGE. Audiences love ACAAN. It just looks so impossible! And you explained it very well! Thanks!

[PatrickParaVizionz]

Wow! Just wow!!! Thank you Cavan. This is so clean love it. Just when I thought I found a great ACAAN you come along with this tutorial blowing everything else out of the water. Thank you for teaching this gem!!!💎

Great use for this deck. When I was a kid and got one, no one ever said you could riffle shuffle.👍😊👍😊👍

Really enjoyed this content, just been playing around with this method myself.

[duhfzgv]

The best tutorial in the world ever!!!

[whitedeath]

You are the reason I got into magic and stuck to it. Every time I was about to get "bored" of training some tricks and just wanted to give up YouTube recommended one of your tricks.

I never cared about the svengali deck but now i'm sold.

[Joseph_Ball]

This is something I have been waiting for too long

Some come only to see tutorials but your real fans are still alive🤠

[VicDiniMagic]

Excellent effect, (slam dunk) and tips and input using a Svengali Deck. Powerful deck if used properly like you discuss. Thanks :)

To get over the odds and evens I use a roughing stick for the first two cards that are identical to the key card in the rest of the deck. Odds mean you take two as one card and evens you take one at a time. Start the count then say sorry you continue the count. Now whatever card they land on its the chosen card.

This is a great use for this deck. My mom ordered me this deck at the beginning of COVID and I only knew the original trick. This is something I am going to try since I love ACAAN's and I was looking for some other tricks with this deck. Another thing is I didn't know you could shuffle the deck!

Thank you for the video Cavan!

[Shin_Super]

How about Rebecca Herrera's version on Penn and Teller's Fool Us?

[blwatches]

Brilliant, I never do any trick with this decks because all the ones I know are too obvious. But this one.. Very cool!

데이비드 버글라스의 아칸 렉쳐 영상 볼때도 카드에 손을 한번이상 터치 한다. 기존에 손안대던 아칸은 확실히 스투지가 맞고 버글라스 이펙트 책과 디비디 를보면
지금 이영상과 비스무리 하다는점. 하지만 이방법이 더 낫긴하지만 기억력이 좋아야한다고 생각함.. 이유는 조커 셋팅표를 항상 지니고 다닐수는 없기때문.
또한 셋팅값을 설정 해야하고 한번이상은 터치를 해줘야 한다..

고로 아칸은 스택 덱으로 보통 하는데.. 마구 석고 관객 3명 이상 과 하는것은 거의 스투지 임.
