Abhinav Bothra
#2 Cards author
Born in 1990 Abhinav Bothra is a Magician & Mentalist from Kolkata, India. Just like every other kid, he too had a fascination for magic during his childhood days, but unlike many the fascination sustained within him while growing up.
Back in 2010 he took up this art seriously and actually started learning things rather than simply buying self-working props. Initially his focus was just on Card Magic but soon he also shifted his attention to Mentalism and it didn't take a long time since he started working as a semi-pro.
An admirer of Richard Osterlind, Banachek & Daniel Garcia, he is currently (2014) a Business Law student as well as a working Magician & Mentalist.

The problem is that Card At Any Number when presented as a one-time feat can be mistaken as a co-incidence or the skill of the performer which takes away the feeling of it being pure magic. Caantastic counters just that by creating a mother of all co-incidences moment for the audience. Card At Any Number not just once or twice but thrice and when it happens the third time it dilutes any skepticism and evokes the... | 2018 / 9 / 28 | $9.95 £7.79 €8.87 Ca$13.25 Au$14.28 ¥1141.12 | to wish list PDF & MP4 | ||

The Empirical ACAANAbhinav Bothra Love it or hate it but most of the numerous versions of ACAAN out there end up in the same ball park -- look what I can do or I manipulated your choices without your knowledge or simply as a coincidence.
