This is one of the best tricks I have purchased from penquinmagic. There are 2 ways to perform the
trick. I use the easy way which does require 2 gimmicks but is very easy to perform. I have shown
this to a couple of friends who were both completely blown away. They thought it was the best card
trick that they had ever seen me do.

This is a very sweet routine. There is a lot of room for interaction and ad lib with your audience.
There are 2 methods, but i really love the harder one. Very little set up need and can be done again
immediately. I only gave 4 stars because I think there could have been a clearer way to explain the
math for the harder method. I had to watch the video a few time before i really got it. This does
take some mental math skill so it is not for everyone, but i love it and use it a lot now.

The video is over an hour long and includes 2 main methods, although its possible to make your own
hybrid of the easy method and the advanced method.
The easy method involves several gimmicks,
but as you get more comfortable with the trick you can perform it with no gimmicks.
The
advanced method can take a LOT of mental work, but boy is it satisfying to land. This is a magician
fooler when you perform it as fair as possible, and is great to perform for skeptics, as there is 0
sleight of hand for them to catch, and parts of the trick that are straight up unexplainable in the
eyes of a leyperson.
This is a great finisher for a routine that involves variations of the 21
card trick.

Great trick for a parlour show or at the end of a close up set. I like the fact that it ties in with
a trick that a lot of people may be familiar with or even learned at some point. The surprise ending
makes it seem totally impossible. If you wanted to fool another magician this might be the trick to
go for.
It won't be for everyone. The Advanced version can seem slow at the start
depending on your skill level and it will take a lot of practise for me to get this down so that I'm
confident when performing.
My only gripe is with the tuition on the video. The process for
working out the code that you need once you've clocked the number you need, could do with being made
a lot clearer. It may be just me but it took me a long time and some help to get clear exactly what
the necessary procedure is in all cases.

Matt Baker you have taken an Any Card at any position routine and made it amazing. Being a Scientist
and Mathematician myself, the Advanced version is terrific. I thought Hive mind was good but this is
spectacular. Wow Wow wow loved it.

I must admit, I was completely fooled by how it's actually done. The easy method truly is easy. The
hard truly is hard and confusing. I performed it for my coworkers and they lost their minds! I stood
definitely recommend it!

I'm really glad I bought this, because it follows a plot that I am really into : finding a thought
of card at a special or even just thought of number. I have bought "Where it has to go" by Rick Lax
and "Unfathomable Location" by Paul Gordon.
Both of these are great improvements on the
trick I am often shown by youngsters who want to show me a trick where they can produce my chosen
card by putting the cards into three piles a couple of times, picking them up in a certain order and
then dealing down to a number (usually 11).
Pile Driver is the exercise done really
seriously. it's the Bentley against the Ford ! It uses a serious amount of brain work. Well done
Matt ! Many thanks to you ( and Penguin) for some great magic !
