"I didn’t think it was possible to make ACAAN into a trick lay people cared about, Craig has proved me wrong! This looks great." - Noel Qualter

"I have heard Craig say “this is the best thing I have ever created” before showing me loads of tricks, this time it is 100% accurate. This is a smash hit worker's dream. I @&$#%€# Love this!" - Wayne Goodman

"As with everything Craig releases, what you are getting here is a polished, commercial, and extremely fooling routine. He has taken the ACAAN to a whole new level!" - Alex Latorre

"Craig has done it again! This routine is incredibly commercial. I've already told my close-up magicians and students to grab it. What I love most is that you can focus entirely on delivering a strong performance without worrying about anything else—just getting that massive reaction!" PS 45min tutorial BOOM!!!" - Mark Bennett

"When it comes to practical ACAAN, this is destined to make its way into many workers sets. Easy to do, practical & deceptive. I love it and certainly can’t wait to perform it!" - Peter Nardi

"Petty’s back with a killer, super fair and interactive ACAAN which will smash your spectators to pieces" - Paul Fowler

"Take a classic of magic. Infuse with a fun, novel presentation. Mix in a simple yet diabolical method and you’ve got the recipe for a card trick destined for greatness!" - Matthew Wright

They shuffle the cards. They take out any card and show it to the audience. The card is shuffled back into the pack. They think of genuinely any number between one and fifty-two. They deal down to their chosen number. The card they dealt to is revealed to be the exact card they showed at the beginning of the trick. It’s not just the world's greatest card trick; it’s the perfect Card At Number. It doesn’t get any cleaner than Destiny Deal by Craig Petty.

The Card At Number plot is the holy grail for card magicians, and it’s a plot that Craig Petty has become obsessed with. Hundreds of versions have been introduced to the magic community over the years, but Destiny Deal might be the easiest and most powerful version to date. In addition to Craig’s brilliant instructional video, the gimmick you receive allows you to perform this unbelievably fair effect and get jaw-dropping reactions.

What makes this one of the best card at numbers ever?

● Your audience can shuffle the deck.
● The named number is a completely free choice.
● There is genuinely no force.
● Once the cards are shuffled, the order of the cards is never changed.
● They deal down to the position themselves.
● It can be performed with a borrowed shuffled deck.
● Instantly resets.

The Destiny Deal gimmick and the routine you learn make this impossibly fair routine incredibly easy to perform. There is very minimal sleight of hand that is well within the grasp of any beginner. The gimmick hides in plain sight and can live in your everyday working deck. Don’t just perform any old card at number effect. Show your audience that their future is in your hands when you perform Destiny Deal by Craig Petty.

Awesome Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 1st, 2024
I am so happy with this trick! The effect of the trick is a classic that I have always wanted to perfect with a last minute substitution of the card and I never settled on the exact switch or sleight to use and everything I tried looked a little clumsy at some point. This is the KICK @SS solution that I would have NEVER thought of.

It is SO CLEAN and SO INVISIBLE! I usually try things on my family and friends before trying on strangers, because I screw things up at first. I was able to perform this correctly the very first try. My family flipped out. I was able to do it correctly every time since I watched the video. I haven't screwed it up yet.

There's nothing to see. No moves. It is BEAUTIFUL! I highly recommend this for anyone who has wanted to perform a TOTALLY CLEAN version of ACAAN. This is the best version ever because it looks like the spectators do everything. It's brilliant. Its power is beyond the "reaction of the crowd." In my experience, many people are SO STUNNED that they literally just blink in silence until the laughter hits. It's not a run away effect. They think they did it themselves.

Finding the right presentation for this will be fun. I'm never leaving the house again, without my instruction card. This trick is worth over $100.00 in my opinion. But I would have been too nervous to purchase it for that much. Trust me, this trick is worth it. This is what magic looks like.

You've got to be kidding me! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 29th, 2024
I purchased MACAAN by Matt Mello some time ago. The instructions were done by Craig Petty. MACAAN is A card (not ANY card) at ANY number. It is a really good effect, but it is A card, not ANY card. However, Craig Petty provides a way to make it a true ACAAN later in the instructional video. The problem with this particular ACAAN, if you want to call it a problem, was that you had to use two decks. I've purchased quite a few of Craig Petty's effects and never been disappointed. I think that he also does an excellent job in explaining things in his instructional videos.

So, back to Destiny Deal. I was a little skeptical when I ordered it. I was even more skeptical when I actually received it. I thought, "You've got to be kidding me!" You get a single card with instructions on it. How can you possibly do an ACAAN with this single card? Well, obviously, you can. When Craig explained how it works, it blew my mind. There's no forcing of the card or the number. They are, indeed, free choices.

The trailer is accurate. Out of all of the ACAANs out there, this, to me, has to be the best. It's very easy to do. No complicated sleights; really, no sleights at all. If you have never done an ACAAN, or even if you have done others, I think that you will really like this one!

Very clean and primarily a fun method... Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 17th, 2024
This is a great effect, as are most Craig Petty effects.

I give this 4 stars because it does a great job at getting the spectators involved more even if they are initially standoff-ish. Reading the instructions or having THEM read the instructions is GREAT.

The gimmick is not exactly brand new or ground-breaking but as I said it helps to get the crowd involved so, imo, it fulfills it's job.

Here is the thing though, for the price let's look at what you "get" or what is required and what the POV from the specs is.

required:
you to carry 1 thing extra with your standard deck of cards.

POV of spec:
they select ANY CARD.
we read the instructions
they shuffle the deck
another spec or them think of any number and deal down to that number
the selected card is at the dealt number (ANY number)

So it DOES what it advertises.

But for the price, it would be better, imo, to go with Joel Dickinson's "Incaantation" as it too:

requires:
1 addition to a normal deck of cards

POV from spec:
same as above WITHOUT the instructions and getting them involved deeper
BUT it allows for a prediction of sorts and you do not need to worry about the WEAR of a gimmick, as Incaantation is gimmickLESS and uses what you already have in your drawer (no arts and crafts).

CONCLUSION:
- A great addition to your CAAN arsenal if you have the money for it
- If just starting or strained on money go with Incaantation here on PM for only $6

Finally, an ACAAN that entertains! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 31st, 2024
For decades, I’ve felt that ACAAN plots were primarily a magicians’ obsession and not of great entertainment value.
Destiny Deal I will perform. It’s tight, can be done with a borrowed deck, instantly resets, doesn’t require elevated sleight of hand, and allows the magician to concentrate on performance. A walkaround beast.
Great thinking here Craig. Well done!
Now, can you offer it in a blue back as well?

Destiny Deal is a devious method for the age old ACAAN plot. I love the handling and have been frying people this past week with this effect. A+.

What a great trick Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 17th, 2024
I have to say, this is a very easy and very impressive trick to share with anyone. I'm not a very good slight of hand guy so this trick is right up my alley and forcing the card to the top is super easy. I love that you're letting the spectator do almost all the work. The only hard part is remembering which sides have the roughing on it but after a few times of practicing it you'll pick it up.
Bravo Craig, I love this trick and all you need is a red bicycle deck of cards.
