Tommaso Guglielmi

#2 Cards author

Born in 1974 in Salerno (Italy), he became interested in the world of magic since he was 6 years old. His favorite magicians were Silvan, Tony Binarelli (Italian magician) David Copperfield. He was trying to figure out their secrets watching their shows on TV and trying to replicate their effects at home. Over the years he concentrated on gambling (card sharking). He became a semi-professional cheater. He studied computer science for 5 years and with 26 years transfered to Milan to work as a programmer (his current job). From then he began to study mentalism (He read about Corinda, Steve Banachek, Derren Brown, etc. ), psychology and NLP. In 2008, he read about the Paul Curry Open Prediction. After a few months he found his own solution (Criminal Induction), and discovered a similar problem ACAAN made famous by David Berglas. On this particular card problem he spent a lot of time finding many variations. Currently he continues his studies in mentalism trying to find new principles and effects.

Duplicity by Tommaso Guglielmi

"Great effect, very clever thinking. I really like the double aspect to the effect. Well done!" - Marc Paul

Duplicity - a double holy grail ACAAN - is an exceptional variation of ACAAN that introduces a structured sequence where every action is first performed by the magician and then mirrored by the spectator. This sequencing creates a clear and logical flow, reinforcing the illusion of a true mental connection.

The strength of the effect lies in its methodical and structured process, making the final revelation feel inevitable and astonishing. The use of an app is justified as a means of...

Double Cross ACAAN by Tommaso Guglielmi

An impossible dual deck ACAAN.

Imagine performing a stunning ACAAN-style effect over video chat using two separate decks - one in your hands and one completely out of your control in your spectator's possession. Double Cross ACAAN blends the principles of "Do as I Do" and ACAAN to create a truly impossible experience.

Both you and your spectator shuffle your own decks. They freely select a card and a number, and you do the same. Despite the total fairness, an unbelievable coincidence occurs: in both decks - yours and the one remotely controlled by the spectator - the chosen cards appear...

Imagine performing the cleanest and most impossible Any Card At Any Number effect ever conceived. No sleight of hand, no interference, no magician's touch after the experiment begins.

Yet, when they take the deck and count down to their chosen number, their card is right there.

No suspicious moves, no apparent method. Just an experiment that seems beyond anyone's control - yet works flawlessly every...

Mind Influence by Tommaso Guglielmi

Two semi-automatic ACAANs.

In the main effect, the spectator mentally moves an imagined card into the deck in an imagined position only. All this happens without the mentalist touching the cards and without knowing which card and what number the spectator has thought of.

In the second ACAAN, the spectator generates a random card and number then counts to the generated position and will find the card. All this happens without the mentalist ever touching the cards.

The two effects are very easy to perform and do not require any sleight-of-hand.

The ACAAN Finale by Tommaso Guglielmi

After many versions of ACAAN, Tommy has created a version which he believes is very direct, hands–off and very close to the perfect ACAAN. From the spectator's view point, they will see:

  • A deck of cards closed in its box is in full view on the table.
  • A spectator selects a card using an imaginary deck and a number via an imaginary urn.
  • Mentally the spectator imagines moving the card to the correct position inside the deck.
  • The spectator removes the cards from the box and counts to named number and the named card will be there without the magician ever touching the deck

Subliminal Influence by Tommaso Guglielmi

Subliminal Influence is a multiple phase routine. You can decide to perfom all the phases in a row or just some of them as single effects. If you perform the entire routine exactly as Tommaso describes, it will take almost 20 minutes of your show. So, you decide.

The following effects take place:

  • Guess a Random Selection: The performer guesses a random card selected by the spectator
  • Gemini Effect part 1: The spectator and the performer select a card. The 2 cards are 2 cards with the same value and color: (AH - AD, 3S-3C, etc. )

Dark Thief and Entanglement by Tommaso Guglielmi

Dark Thief

Two spectators think of a number between 1 and 10. With their numbers, a card is mentally selected. With the first spectator, the magician performs a mind reading effect guessing his thought of card. With the two spectators together, the magician introduces a deck of playing cards and explains that he wants to try an ACAAN effect. In order to do this, the magician asks the first spectator to think of his card and to the second one to create a random number between 1 and 52. (This number is created using the two spectator's numbers: The second spectator tells his number to the first...

Eyes of Darkness by Tommaso Guglielmi

This is an ACAAN effect using two decks.

The performer shows two decks closed within their boxes. A spectator selects one of them and puts it aside (This deck will be used later). The perfomer asks the spectator to remove the second deck from his box and to check if the deck is a regular deck. At this point the performer instructs the spectator to select a number and a playing card using a very clean procedure with this deck. The spectator for example chooses 31 and Ace of Spades. Now, without the performer touching the decks, the second spector removes the first deck from its box and counts...

"Having been a keen follower of the ACAAN plot for a number of years, I was fortunate to befriend Tommy Gugliemi who shares the same passion and is almost obsessed by the plot, this is not necessarily a bad thing as he has shared some of the most ingenious handling's I have ever seen, many completely hands off and impromptu.

Beyond Reloaded by Tommaso Guglielmi

Give a spectator the deck of cards with the promise that you will not be handling it again. The first spectator is asked to simply name a card and the second one to name a number between 1 and 52. The magician instructs the second spectator to deal to his named number. When the spectator reaches his number, the corresponding card matches the first spectator's named card.

If you look for the Ultimate ACAAN this effect is very close. In this pdf Tommaso teaches you his way to have this little miracle with a full routine without pre-show, stooges, force etc. etc.

Open Prediction by Tommaso Guglielmi

This is one of Gugliemli's several methods for the open prediction that he is glad to offer all magicians. It should be noted that this effect does not respect all of the conditions set by Stewart James for his “51 Faces North”. This is a good Impromptu solution. It relies on sleight of hand to reach a 100% successful ending, but Tommaso tried to design the method to hide the “dirty work” and he has included 6 different techniques to hopefully meet the needs/styles of everyone. This method will require some practice before the performer can swiftly and confidently present the effect. ...

Besides, if you are just an amateur and have no abilities in magic, you will find enclosed a document that contains instructions to build yourself the "Destiny Deck", a way to perform with no skills at all!

You will also find a copy of Destiny Evolution 2; a trick that merges the original Destiny effect with an imaginary poker hand. Obviously everything will be done with a single deck of cards coupled...
