Any Card at Any Number 2.8

Pro Card Magic's mDeck presents a sophisticated take on the classic effect of Any Card At Any Number (ACAAN). This app enhances the magician's performance by taking on the mental calculations that traditionally require quick thinking and precision.

The mDeck app operates as an interactive visual aid that engages spectators while skillfully handling the math behind the scenes. However, it offers more than just a solution for ACAAN; it introduces a new stacking system that seamlessly integrates with various other effects, such as Further Than Further Than That and Vernon's Poker Demonstration, without requiring resets or deck switches. Notably, the app can accommodate different stacks, including Si Stebbins and Tamariz Mnemonica.

For those unfamiliar with ACAAN, the concept involves a spectator selecting a card—for instance, the Six of Hearts—while another spectator picks a number between 1 and 52. The magician counts down to the specified card position in the deck, revealing the chosen card at exactly that spot. With mDeck, the selection process is modernized: spectators can choose a number and suit through the app before indicating their card’s position.

Moreover, spectators have the option to download the app on their own devices, further enhancing interactivity while maintaining the secrecy of the method. Those who invest time to study the mechanics will find themselves performing at a professional level, as this tool transforms amateurs into adept magicians.

As the magician, you are guided through obtaining essential information about card placements simply by tapping on your device. The app provides streamlined instructions for executing various techniques necessary for effective performances. Comprehensive resources including instructional videos and Steffan Soule's book "Further Poker" can significantly facilitate your understanding of effective stacking methods.

A unique feature within the mDeck app allows performers to capture a memorable moment with spectators by taking photos with a customizable overlay that includes details such as your name or website—ideal for marketing efforts.

Further magic effects utilizing mDeck are expounded upon in Steffan Soule's instructional materials, making it suitable for performances both live and online. Practicing with this app fosters an enriching experience that cultivates memory and concentration skills, ultimately merging physical interaction with digital innovation to enhance performance artistry.
