Any Card. At Any Number. The Holy Grail of all Magic... has been solved.

With bold claims you must provide undeniable proof. It's time to unveil The Atomic Deck.

When David Berglas first created the ACAAN, he gifted the Magic community a seemingly impossible puzzle that many thought to be unsolvable. A Penrose Triangle of never-ending mystery.

But... In early 2021 Craig Petty made a discovery that would shake the foundations of the entire Magic industry. Laying way to a new realm of what we never thought was possible.

With The Atomic Deck, here is exactly what happens. Every. Single. Time.

The Magician places the deck openly on the table. Everyone is asked to think of any card. And any number. No forces. The audience doubles down by making sure that they avoid commonly selected cards and numbers. They can change their mind as many times as they wish. Once everyone is satisfied that their choices were uninfluenced and fair, the magician slowly and clearly picks up the deck, eyes burning their every mico-movement. They begin dealing slowly and deliberately dealing cards, one by one until the number is reached... The magician turns the card over, and it is the exact card they were merely thinking of.

Perfection.

Every. Single. Time.

Here's what you need to know before trying to figure this out:

  • No memorization work.
  • No sleight of hand.
  • Easy to do.
  • They don't even have to tell you their card or number.
  • The cards are never cut, passed, or in any way.
  • The deck is in full view the entire time.
  • The cards can be dealt into the participants hands.
  • No roughing sprays.
Marc Paul, friend and student of David Berglas, literally wrote the rules for the ACAAN. He was also the only person that David allowed to perform his ACAAN. He did so on national UK television in a video that cemented itself in magic history as one of the most perfect ACAAN performances of all time. What we're saying is, Marc Paul is possibly one of, if not, the most qualified person alive today to talk about the ACAAN. When Craig showed him The Atomic Deck, this is what he said:

"That is the Berglas effect... You've cracked it. This is every magician's dream... It's the closest version to The Holy Grail that I've seen anyone do."

We know. This all sounds too good to be true. What are the drawbacks? We'll be upfront and tell you.

Firstly, if you perform this to a magician and they examine the deck, what they'll see it's not an ordinary deck of cards. As you can see in the trailer, if you perform it for non-magicians, they can look through the cards quite openly, although we wouldn't recommend letting them keep it.

In short, we're telling you The Atomic Deck is a special deck of cards that does 90% of the work for you.

Secondly, unlike the large majority of other ACAAN's that exist, The Atomic Deck requires no mental math. Instead, we use the power of something that everyone has on them every day. Their phone. With the tools included, the audience will cleverly code all the information that you need to know to perform this miracle. You don't need your phone or any sneaky peek device. It's all done in a natural and organic way that never feels like it's even part of the trick.

"I don't want them to use a phone!"

Don't worry, we've got you covered too. There are multiple, genius methods taught that show you how to perform this seemingly without having any phone in play.

The third drawback... This isn't real magic. But it is as close as we're going to get. And once you see the method, you'll understand why. Hidden in the presentation, the gimmicks, and the tools that come with Atomic Deck, the moment you start, gears begin spinning behind the scenes doing all the hard work for you, making this look as effortless as real magic.

With the seismic breakthrough that Craig developed with The Atomic Deck came one other bizarre twist. There is no sleight of hand. Thanks to the method of how this works, as long as you can deal cards, anyone can perform this miracle.

Whilst we're on the topic of breakthroughs, there's one more thing...

Those of you familiar with some of Craig's other work may be thinking that this uses roughing spray, roughing stick, powder, wax etc. Well, thanks to the intense pursuit for perfection, we've developed a truly revolutionary procedure that means there is literally no roughing chemicals at all used with The Atomic Deck. Meaning each deck comes straight off the press and into the box. Precise, identical and perfect every single time. And even better, your Atomic Deck will last you as long as any normal deck of cards because there really is nothing to rub off or wear away. Aside from The Atomic Deck, what we've produced especially for The Atomic Deck will set the magic industry alight for decades to come. We're confident that it will become a new standard in playing card technology.

In the last 10 years, one mentalist has emerged from the thousands to be heralded as the next generation of Living Legends. A modern day great, that as of 2025, most mentalists are in agreement to be considered one of, if not the best mentalists and mind readers on the planet today... Peter Turner.

Peter Turner made a name for himself mainly for two things: prop-less mentalism and fooling the best minds in the world with his ACAAN. When we showed him The Atomic Deck, this is what he said:

"That's better than any version of Any Card at Any Number that I've ever done... That genuinely is the cleanest version of Any Card At Any Number that I've ever seen in my life."

In 1976 a web was woven. An Escher Staircase of impossibility, a pursuit for gold at the end of a rainbow. The more mere mortals tried to solve it, the more the web would tangle. The ACAAN is truly the knot that tightens the more you try to undo it. Murphy's Studio is proud to present to you...

The Atomic Deck.

Always a Catch Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on February 18th, 2025
I dislike these bold claims on how this compares to the Berglas Effect. It doesn’t because there’s always a catch. In this case you need them to use a website. Who wants to use a website for a trick? Saying this is so clean in the trailer then dropping a bomb like oh btw you can’t do this trick without a website. Disappointed in this trick. Now to be fair Craig and Lyod are geniuses and this is a decent trick. But man that was a bummer to hear the spectator needs to use an app.

Tutorial is missing important explanations Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on February 25th, 2025
My low rating is not for the effect. The effect is very cool. But it is for the lack of information provided with the purchase. The "tutorial" only shows part of the trick. There is reference to a phone on the tutorial but no information about that is found on the tutorial! And the information in the sales pitch says "There are multiple, genius methods taught that show you how to perform this seemingly without having any phone in play" -- No they are NOT -- NONE of that information is in the tutorial! I have a cool box of cards and part of the explanation but no real training on how to use it. VERY DISAPPOINTING.

Great effect/terrible rollout Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on March 1st, 2025
The website for the "app" for the notes shows up as malicious and I can't get to it from my samsung.
Saying no rough/smooth is the same as saying margarine/butter. This new "technology" share the same concept but isn't as good as the rough/smooth.

There's no way of doing the effect unless the website is online,Craig Petty talked about a cheat sheet chart that would be available for download on YouTube and its not in the tutorials. The tutorials are full of fluff. I don't need to see hours of performances and can't find the basics.

Atomic Mess Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on March 1st, 2025
First, let me say I'm just a hobbyist. Second, I like some of Craig's stuff. I hesitated to write this review, but since I'm having such a problem with it, thought I should warn others.
MOST IMPORTANT: YOU NEED A PHONE FOR THIS TRICK!!!
This little tidbit is left out of the promos. As stated, I'm a hobbyist,but I get the impression this was intentionally left out because not a lot of magicians like tricks that use phones. There are two ways to use the phone, but you will need it. One method is to get the person(s) to use their phone to use a site to help them choose the most least likely combination card and number in the deck. The second is to "help remember" the choice on your phone's notes pad. Both methods are necessary though to do the trick. I don't mind using a phone personally as long as it seems natural, but I'll leave that up to everyone's own preferences. But the fact that this is left out of the promo videos to me is very deceptive. I know deception is part of magic, but this seems to be "eating your own". Disappointed Craig has done this, and disappointing Penguin allows it. To be fair to Penguin, this is not a trick they helped produce. But they still should be more transparent with their customers as to what products they are selling from other companies.
Next, the instructions: They are a convoluted mess. There is a 6 min tutorial that is supposed to get you going quickly, but it won't. Craig does a split screen interview with another magician that discusses how great the trick is with a brief attempt to explain it, but they invoke things that have been discussed elsewhere with a brief synopsis. You're not learning anything step by step. The rest of the video is a jumbled mess. At one point, they even splice in a scene in an attempt to clarify an issue, but only go off on another long tangent. It is lacking in clarity and cohesiveness. There is never any step-by-step that I have seen and have gotten so lost and frustrated, I can't sit through the whole thing at once. I've almost given up on this trick entirely. I think I got enough of the concept though on my multiple viewings that there is a good trick here,(otherwise it would have gotten 1 star) but I think most are going to have to do a lot of digging to find out the way to make it work. There is a claim this can be done without using a phone at all, but I'm not seeing it.
As I said, I'm not a seasoned performer, so maybe this is all on me. But the phone omission is a major problem for me. The bad instructions seem to be a thing for Petty, and this combination is going to make me rethink buying anything else from him going forward. Which is too bad since I LOVE Cheater Chips, but even that had instructional problems. He seems to have great ideas. I'm learning Destiny Deal currently, and again having instruction difficulties. It seems good though and I think i've worked it out. I don't know if he's rushing things or doesn't care, but its leaving the impression on me that it is a money grab. I hope he sees this and gets some assistance with it. I'm hoping Penguin starts paying more attention to his production values as well even though they may have nothing to do with the videos as well. It's their reputation for the products they sell on the line too.

Miraculous! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on February 22nd, 2025
Wow! Never has a trick blown my mind like Atomic Deck. This is about as close to real magic as you can get. I wish Craig Petty had appeared on Fool Us to claim his FU trophy. I would have loved to see Penn and Teller’s reaction (especially if he had repeated the trick). Every element of this groundbreaking trick is so well thought out that it allows you to perform it in multiple ways. You will sit there for hours (I have), dealing to the chosen card every time and thinking to yourself “How is this possible?!!!”. Not only will this be Trick of the Year for 2025, it may be Trick of the Decade. I am so grateful that Craig released this trick to the magic community. Most magicians would have traveled the world with this reputation maker or sold it to David Copperfield and retire!

Absolutely brilliant approach!!! But.... Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on February 24th, 2025
A grand slam home run for Craig and Lloyd. What is keeping it from a 5 star is that there is website that must be used as part of the trick that is not mentioned in the trailer. One other thing is the deck cannot be examined.

So without giving anything away, upon opening the box, I was disappointed these were not Bicycle cards but after watching the 6 minute tutorial it became obvious why and the disappointment evaporated!

The cards are marked in a clumsy manner, but I can deal with it as the purpose is a double check. The marked decks from Penguin are far superior but then again, you cannot use this deck for anything else other than this trick. You can swap/substitute the deck out as the end of the trick with a Phoenix deck as it has a similar design if you are savvy enough!

So all in all, it seems pricy but it is a very special deck that really cannot be easily replicated so it is worth the cost. You also get 3+ hours of instructions over 7 separate videos of added materials. Great trick by these two guys!

Stickiness Is A big Problem Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on March 9th, 2025
I purchased both the Quantum Deck and they share the similar problem. Some of the cards stick together very well but some don't, especially when dealing face-down. I've been practicing for hours trying to apply forces in different ways but can't completely mitigate this problem. I also found the tutorials missing any explanation on how to perfectly deal two cards together. It seemed so easy in the videos.

This is a big issue for close-up setup when audiences are watching closely. They can spot it pretty easily. For that reason with the deck I received, it's not useful as a close-up effect. Not sure if it's a quality assurance issue where some of the decks were produced worse than others.

I like the concept and design of the website. It's pity I can't use this for close-up.

Still waiting for the Crib notes! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on March 3rd, 2025
Have not performed yet, still waiting for the Crib card.
So, you don't have to use a phone..
Craig said in the video, that it would be uploaded to the site.
Still waiting for the crib notes!

I wish Murphy's would upload the crib notes!
PLEASE....

I would have given a 5 stars, but no crib notes!

Stunning effect. Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on February 26th, 2025
Presented properly the effect will blow people's minds. Use of the website or the alternatives is pretty easily handled... it can even enhance the presentation. It doesn't use the most familiar looking deck, which may raise suspicions with a few people. But even if they think it's a trick deck, laymen will have no idea how it can do what it does. Even if you told them, they wouldn't understand it.
However, the cards are easy to damage, so you must take care of them. I find a couple of my cards a little inconsistent in their finish... I'd appreciate any advice on how to keep them "fresh".
