Introducing Scaandal is Back by Adrian Vega The prodigal classic has returned, and it's looking sharper than ever. Over a decade ago, Adrian dropped Scaandal, his ingenious twist on the timeless Card at Any Number (CAAN) effect. With a method so original it turned heads, it quickly became the go-to for magicians who wanted something fresh and deceptive. Well, hold onto your hats, because it’s back and better! Scaandal is Back takes that original spark and cranks it up to eleven, delivering an effect that’s not only more visual but also utterly impossible for both the magician and the audience. The handling feels natural, the presentation flows effortlessly, and the astonishment is off the charts. It’s as clean as it appears—and here’s the kicker: the magician doesn’t even touch the deck. Before a number is even plucked from thin air, the performer boldly displays a lone card with a different back design and casually slips it into the deck. Next, a spectator thinks of any number between 1 and 52. (No pressure, it's not a maths exam.) They count the cards themselves. When they hit their chosen number, the magic happens. That odd-backed card is sitting right where it should be—no switches, no dodgy moves, no magician interference. Just a jaw-dropping moment that’ll have everyone questioning reality. The method is so clever it’ll leave even seasoned magicians scratching their heads. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Scaandal is Back also brings you a stonking Open Prediction routine where the spectator can stop wherever they fancy... and surprise, surprise, it’s always the only odd-backed card in the deck. As a cheeky bonus, you’ll pick up an additional routine inspired by one of Adrian’s latest brainwaves. We could spill more tea, but you probably wouldn’t believe us. Instead, have a butcher's at the trailer and watch the full live performances exactly as they unfolded.
No cuts. No edits. No camera tricks.
Just a genuine Scaandal.
