Introducing Scaandal is Back by Adrian Vega The classic that refuses to stay in the past... and frankly, who could blame it? Over a decade ago, Adrian set the magic world ablaze with Scaandal, his ingenious twist on the legendary Card at Any Number (CAAN) effect. Using a method so fresh it made other tricks look stale, it quickly became a favourite for being clean, sneaky, and unlike anything else around. And now? It’s back, and it’s better than ever. Scaandal is Back takes that original idea and cranks it up a notch, crafting an effect that’s more visual, more mind-boggling, and more entertaining for both magicians and punters alike. The handling? Smooth as butter. The presentation? As natural as a chat over a pint. The impossibility? Off the charts. Here’s the kicker: the effect is as straightforward as it appears—and the magician doesn’t even touch the deck. Seriously. Before a number is plucked from thin air, the performer casually shows a single card with a different back design from the rest, and then it’s slipped into the mix without a fuss. A spectator then thinks of any number from 1 to 52. They count the cards themselves—yes, you heard that right. When they hit their chosen number, the jaw-dropping moment unfolds. That lone odd-backed card? It’s smack bang at that position. No sneaky switches. No dodgy moves. No magician meddling. Just a moment that’ll get talked about long after the show ends. The method is so crafty and deceptive that it’ll have even the seasoned pros scratching their heads. But wait, there’s more!
Scaandal is Back also features a killer Open Prediction routine where the spectator can halt wherever they fancy... and guess what? It’s always the only odd-backed card. As an added treat, you’ll also pick up an extra routine inspired by one of Adrian’s latest brainwaves. We could spill more beans... but let’s be honest, you’d probably think we were pulling your leg. Instead, check out the trailer and full live performances—no smoke and mirrors here.
No cuts. No edits. No camera tricks.
Just a proper Scaandal.
