Lucky Card: a hands-off ACAAN miracle
Overall customer rating: ★★★★★reviewed by Ricardo Carrillo (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Tuesday 01 July, 2025)
I have all of TG's magic apps and use at least one of them on my impromptu magic presentation since I am a magician by hobby. I really like how easy-to-do each effect is and the powerful impact they have on the spectator. I definitely want TG to keep releasing effects like these!

This is absolutely amazing and very fun to perform. The prediction is made before the spectator enters their numbers at random on their own device. Another great effect from Tommaso Guglielmi. Highly Recommended!!

Wow! This seems impossible. The magician selects a card and number FIRST. This is ANOTHER great effect from the mind of Tommaso Guglielmi. Highly Recommended!! If you’re not following his works….you should!

Another great effect from a brilliant creator! An impromptu twist of his effect called “Duplicity”. It can be performed over video or in person. There is an explanation on how to do the effect with one deck as well. Highly Recommended!!

Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Tuesday 04 March, 2025)
This really seems impossible! The spectator not only FREELY selects a card but also a position and the card appears in that position. Easy to perform and the method is absolutely brilliant! Highly recommend.

If you’re a fan of ACAAN you will really enjoy this! There are also other effects that all work very well into a routine.

Overly complicated in my opinion. The ACAAN effect loses clarity and impact due to the structure of the routine. I feel the audience could get confused quite easily.
The Magician's Dream: a practical solution for any card at any number
Overall customer rating: ★★★★★reviewed by Bruce Koren (confirmed purchase)

"A Practical Solution for Any Card At Any Number"? If you love mem deck and stacked mem decks, you may love this. But there a certainly no "practical solutions" here. All but two effects require a memorized deck. Both Joshua Jay and Barrie Richardson have excellent impromptu ACAANs. One of the things that makes them better than any effect in this booklet is simply the lack of laborious procedure, which these effects definitely require. Admittedly, I am not a cardician. And after being a magic hobbyist for 60 years, I'm always surprised by how many great card effects there are that don't require complicated slights, stacks, memorized decks or gimmicks. I love to be able to begin a trick by allowing the spectator to shuffle the cards. I love John Bannon's books on self-working card tricks that are light on procedure. This book certainly is not that. I'm only going to site one example, but I think it's symptomatic of the kind of thinking I'd rather not see in card magic. The example has the spec name any card in the deck and then to pick a number. Next step - In the process of spreading the cards face up to look for the jokers, place the selected card in the selected position. Really? I don't think so. For the most part, these effects seem to be pipe dreams rather than workers. The photography is mediocre. On the whole, a disappointment. And I should add, my only disappointment of purchased books during the whole pandemic.

In order to help Tommy's friend who lost her work due to a serious health issue (pulmonary hypertension and multiple sclerosis) he decide to help her by raising money through his eBooks and he is offering an insane deal. And that is what it is exactly a insane deal I have only read one so fare and it is quality workable magic. A great deal of work on the ACAAN is not to be missed and Bonus: Michael Kociolek added two of his own eBooks to the bundle and Peter Duffie added four of his eBooks. so what are you waiting for its cold and these collective works will definitely take your mind off the temperature. If you live in warmer climates ? do you want a guest?
The Magician's Dream: a practical solution for any card at any number
Overall customer rating: ★★★★★reviewed by Paul Philavong (confirmed purchase)

There are eight tricks in this booklet and neither of of them is a full hands off "ACAAN" as the original Berglas effect.
The cards are being too much "handled" as in a self-working mentalism card trick by either the spectator or magician in the process to make the trick work. For example:
Trick #1 - Random ACCAN - This involves 2 sprectators: spec #1 think of a card, spec #2 think of a number. So far so good, but then the deck is introduced and spec #1 deal the cards down and when he sees his card he is asked to remember the number where his card falls and cut the deck a certain way. Then spec #2 is given the deck and count down to the number he was thinking of and remember the card that fall in that position, blah-blah-blah and etc.... In short convoluted, boring and definitely not close to the Berglas ACAAN.
Trick #2 - ACAAN on Demand - Cards are not shown from the get go, ask spec to think of a card, then get a deck of card and have a number chosen.
Trick #3 - Perfect ACAAN on Demand - Cards are not shown from the get go, then they come out of magician's pocket uncased.
Trick #4 - Mixed Revelation - After thinking of a card and a number, spec is asked to do something with a certain card and then guided to do a shuffle.
Trick #5 - Final Cut Version #1 - Memorization is needed, cards are not shown from get go, when they are shown the magician touched it too long.
Trick #6 - Final Cut Version #2 - No memorization needed, cards are not shown from the get go and a set pattern and some calculation need to be done to get the trick to work.
Trick #7 - Dream - Make use of the "Oops I made a mistake let's do over" excuse and use sleight of hands to get the card to the desired position and bet that the spec will stay with the same card in the do-over phase - silly.
Trick #8 - Lucifer - Make use of a different trick to get the card to the desired position and then suggest to spec, let's do try and ACAAN trick - as silly as the one above.
Overall review: very disappointed.
