Boris chose a birthday theme for maximum impact, but this actually is "ANY card” at any number" and
it is the BEST version I have ever read or performed. They can choose any number, 1-52! And they do
choose ANY number.....AND they choose ANY card. NO force or equivoque.
I re-watched the
DVD performance for an hour and couldn't figure it out. I think that's a good exercise instead of
jumping to the explanation. But this routine had me fooled, badly. What had me stumped is that the
audience member removed the deck from the card box and they counted the cards to the freely chosen
number. It just didn’t seem possible.
Key points to know about Boris's routine:
There
is NO pre-show work!
There are NO stooges!
There are NO memorized decks used!

Wild's ACAAB is easy to learn and perform and will show you what happens when a FISM world champion
in card magic puts his mind to this classic plot.
