99% of all the ACAANS out there either look or feel, or both, the same. This is an attempt to stand out in that 1%.

A tried and proven winner from the mind of Val Evans, as revealed by his performing partner, Dr. Gene Okkah.
... contains the target object and not the target object directly. This adds a thick layer of deception over the regular binary method. So I call this Shadow Binary. And it is performed from a pocket card, which is an ideal EDC - Every Day Carry.
