ACAAN (Any Card at Any Number) | références

[Romain GIRANTON]

Tous les éléments nécessaires sont dans les conditions décrites, c'est la raison de ce thread. Pas d'expliquer au premier curieux qui n'en n'a jamais touché une, des concepts qui ont demandé une énorme travail de réflexion, mais d'essayer d'agiter vos neurones pour que vous trouviez une méthode personnelle dans ces strictes conditions.

Si vous pouvez me montrer un effet incroyable qui me bluffe totalement et dont je rêve que vous m'expliquiez les mécanismes; je ferai de même sans la moindre hésitation avec cet effet-ci.

Ah bon je croyais que t'allais tout de me dire....Arfff ce que je suis déçu!!!

Avec autant d'ingeniosité, il va sans dire que je pensais que tu aurais compris qu'il s'agissait d'une question qui n'apparaissait pas de prime abord dans ta description de l'effet.

"Petit curieux qui n'en a jamais touché une"....Tu parles de quoi??? J'ai peur???

Saches que sans avoir à priori tes connaissances je me suis beaucoup penché sur la question, et possède ma propre version, qui je l'avoue semble moins forte.

Encore une fois arrête de te la raconter et apprends à lire.

Bonne continuation et très belle routine. Bravo!!!

CEDMagic, je vous ai envoyé une proposition de solution à votre ACAAN en mp. Je doute qu'elle soit la bonne, mais bon je tente, ça me turlupine trop depuis quelques jours

Il y a un élément correct (voir ma réponse en mp), mais votre solution est trop "lourde". Elle manque de fluidité et donc de vitesse d'exécution, ce qui la rend peu pratique pour un usage réel. Ce n'est pas un tour "théorique" mais "pratique".

Mais je suis content de voir que vous y réfléchissiez, c'est le but de l'exercice.

Pour les intéressés, voici le contenu des DVD qui accompagneront le prochain livre de R. Kaufman sur la magie de David Berglas:

DVD 1: David Berglas Interviewed by Marc Paul

David was invited to appear at a convention in Las Vegas in 2008 but unfortunately could not attend. Instead, he sent a filmed segment in which he was interviewed by mentalist and friend Marc Paul. The interview will give you an overview of David’s remarkable life, with clips from some of his many television shows including his famous “Table Levitation” and pulse-stopping routine Following the interview, David briefly performs some of his signature card magic.

This DVD also contains a PDF file of “Nothing is Impossible,” an enormous interview with David which appears in the May 2007 issue of Genii, The Conjurors’ Magazine. In order to access this PDF, place the disc into your computer and double click on the PDF file marked “Genii.” You will be able to read it as well as print it out. The issue contains several 3D images, as well as three tricks—all based loosely on “Any Card at Any Number”—that require the 3D glasses included with this book.

DVD 2: David Berglas Live

1. The Mind of David Berglas (TV Show, Excerpt, 1986)

Card Magic Segment. David’s last television series consisted of six episodes of 45 minutes each (series in the United Kingdom often run for only six episodes) as well as a one-hour Christmas special. Episode Four contains a segment with guest star Omar Sharif, as well as David’s somewhat hurried performance of an assortment of card effects for members of the studio audience. The production of the series was fraught with difficulties, and financial constraints meant that sometimes there was no time for rehearsals or reshoots, and the camera angles, stage directions, and just about anything else that would have been perfected through rehearsal was not. Footage that should not have been broadcast was, and as you’ll see in the card magic segment, some of the spectators appear to be in a deep coma and barely able to speak. Despite all of these difficulties, David perseveres—which is perhaps a better lesson than watching him do it all perfectly and easily with cooperative spectators.

3. The Magic Circle at the Victory Services Club (Excerpt, 1992)

Filmed on a hot night when the normal stage lights weren’t working, David’s lecture/show was illuminated entirely by one hand-operated spotlight. Only the first half of the card-portion of the show is presented here, which contains a performance of material of which no other recording exists.

4. Magic Circle Collector’s Day Demonstration (1996)

For the 21st Magic Circle Collector’s Day in 1996, Roger Crosthwaite gave a talk on the history of the trick known as “Think a Card.” After the lecture, David, then President of the Magic Circle, gave a brief demonstration of his style of card magic. Unknown to David at the time, but fortunately for us, the performance was recorded and sold by The Magic Circle for several years as part of a series of videotapes of various Collector’s Days. The circumstances are far from optimal: he was performing for people he had known for many years, and it was also quite early in the day. One of his spectator/assistants is also trying to “catch him out,” as the British say. The video is valuable for us because it captures David performing card magic in an impromptu setting in his prime, doing things which do not appear in any other visual record. The double and triple coincidence effects at the end are perfect examples of how David can weave together a reputation-making effect during a performance.

5. The Young Magician’s Day at the Magic Circle (2006)

On stage at The Magic Circle’s headquarters in Stephenson Way, David gave a talk and then performed a series of card effects for members of the Young Magician’s Club (YMC). There are several items in this demonstration that show David taking advantage of situations that arose during performance in order to produce some truly miraculous effects.

6. The Bull Theatre Show (2010)

Taped in June 2010 at the Bull Theatre in northern London, David took to the stage for his first real show in 17 years specifically so we could record it for this book. At age 83, it was a triumphant return, though David has not yet reconciled in his mind the memory of himself performing energetically as a younger man with the slightly more relaxed style he has cultivated in his golden years.

7. The Session (2011)

At “The Session,” a small magic convention held in England, David performed a few minutes of card magic with five volunteers from the audience after being interviewed by BBC journalist Steve Knibbs. This video shows a different type of sequence than the other clips on this DVD: after each person thinks of or names a card, their deck is placed on the table and David asks them to put their finger on it. He does this five times and none of the cards are revealed until the end. Note that even though he prepares the fourth spectator’s deck for “The Berglas Effect,” he saves this revelation for the end.

8. The Essential Magic Conference Interview

The Essential Magic Conference held in July 2010 was the first magic convention which took place entirely on the Internet. This interview with David was filmed at his home in advance by Luis de Matos’s crew in London.

3. The Supreme Magic Video (1986)

Decades ago, when videotapes were becoming popular as tools for teaching magic, David made a little-known tape with the now-defunct Supreme Magic Company. Though the contents mainly focus on other parts of David’s repertoire rather than card magic, including it here seems appropriate because it will expose you to other types of magic he used to perform. The versatility of the ingenious “Cardcertina,” explained in this book, is also demonstrated.
