A truly brilliant ‘Any Card At Any Number’ that uses a Max Maven subterfuge to create a self working routine that plays like a CLOSER!

You bring out a red and a blue deck and place the blue one aside (in full view of your spectator). The red deck is then shown to have a number between 1 and 52 written on the back of each card. You ask your spectator to throw down a pile of red cards (even mixing the deck if they want). Whenever they feel like it they stop and then create two facedown piles from the cards they have. Now they choose to flip one of the cards atop a pile face up.

All this mixing and messing has ended with a card face up (say the 7 of Clubs) and a card face down with a number written on the back (say 16).

Now you draw attention to the blue deck that has lain untouched since the start of this little experiment. They take those cards themselves and count down to the 16th one. Wouldn’t you know it - it’s the 7 of clubs!

This sleight-free handling may be super easy to do, but boy is it powerful.
