Welcome to the World of Effortless Magic... Meet Modulo.
Following on from the groundbreaking Parse, this book takes a completely different approach.
From Fraser Parker, the genius behind Parse, comes a fresh perspective. Get ready for a deeper dive.
In a limited edition, oversized Crown Quarto softcover with a sleek matt finish, Modulo is like that secret sauce Fraser's been keeping under wraps—until now. It's all new, and it's a game-changer (but, you know, without the clichés). He’s taken what others have done and kicked it up a notch, bringing simplicity and brilliance together in a way you didn’t think was possible.
For ages, the path to the elusive Any Card At Any Number (ACAAN) was tangled in complexity—calculations, mental gymnastics, and a lot of head-scratching. We thought that was just the price of admission.
But Fraser had a different vision.
Modulo is that vision made real. It’s not just a labour of love; it’s a relentless pursuit of simplicity. Fraser hasn’t just nudged the boundaries; he’s obliterated them. He’s stripped away the unnecessary, leaving only pure, powerful magic.
At its core, Modulo is an algorithmic stack that lets you know instantly which card is at any number position in the deck—or the other way around. But here’s where it really gets interesting: Fraser has figured out how to instantly identify which card to move to the top of the deck, making it ridiculously easy to place any card named by the spectator at any number they choose. Seriously, he’s simplified the process to the point where you’ll wonder why it was ever complicated in the first place. This means you can dynamically place any card at any number without memorising a stack—though, of course, the Modulo algorithm lets you do that too.
Picture this:
A spectator chooses any card and names any number. You hand them the deck, and they deal down to find their card exactly at their chosen number. No fuss, no hassle.
How do you pull this off? Not with frantic calculations or complicated maths. It’s all about some surprisingly simple mental shifts. So intuitive, it feels more like magic than a process. The magic happens in an instant. It’s like playing with magic rather than working for it. Fraser’s crafted a solution that’s almost cheeky in its simplicity—achieving it feels like you’ve stumbled upon the real magic.
He’s taken the complex and turned it into child’s play. Plus, once you perform the ACAAN, the algorithm is ready to go again without needing to reset the deck. The Modulo algorithm stays strong, no matter how the deck’s shuffled. The exact starting sequence? Irrelevant.
And don’t forget the underlying stack structure—it lets you know the number for any card in the set or the card at any number.
Fraser shares a bunch of techniques for shifting the deck. You can use clever psychology to hide the work, or as the cards leave the box, you can use unique edge markings. Or, if you fancy, rely on a tactile method that doesn’t require you to even look at the deck. No visual cues needed to achieve the impossible before they even realise what's happening. Find the exact card in a snap. No guessing. No memorised deck. Just effortless magic.
This isn’t just another entry in Fraser’s algorithmic stack adventures. Modulo takes everything up a notch. It refines what you thought you knew into something astonishingly pure. From day one, it was designed to be the easiest route to nail the Any Card At Any Number effect and other mind-bending tricks. Simple formulas, simple shifts.
Even Fraser is taken aback by the elegance he’s achieved. The solution he’s chased for years, once a distant dream... is now a reality. He’s chuffed to bits to finally share it with you.
He considers this the ultimate guide—the final word on achieving ACAAN using these methods.
You’ll read it, try it, and probably do a double-take at how clean and simple it all is.
The dream of effortless, algorithmic mastery is no longer a dream; it’s Modulo.
You’ll discover an organic simplicity in this method, a sense of rightness that feels less created and more recognised. It’s like a principle that was just waiting for someone to shine a light on it. You’ll find yourself wondering why it was hidden in plain sight for so long.
