Prepare yourself for a delightful twist on the classic card routines. Picture this: you present a red blank deck and a normal blue deck, and then you casually mention there's just one normal card tucked away in that blank deck. The spectators get to shuffle their blue deck and deal out 5 cards, just like in a poker game. One of those cards? They think of it and place it face down on the table. Now, those other four cards? You let them add up their values. Let’s say they total 22. The spectator then deals down to the 21st card in the blank deck, revealing... you guessed it, a bunch of blanks. The next card? It’s also face down. And guess what? All the rest are blank too! You then confidently name the card the spectator was merely thinking of, and when the blue card is flipped over, it matches the red card perfectly. Not only did you nail the thought card, but it’s chilling at the exact number the spectator's total led them to. Magic? Absolutely.
Bonus effect by Lars La Ville:
Double Blank ATCANN (Any thought card at any number.)
This one takes it up a notch. You’ll use two spectators, and as you deal the cards, only two cards will materialize in the blank deck. These will be the cards the spectators are thinking of—yes, both of them! And, of course, they land at the exact numbers that match each spectator’s total. Talk about a crowd pleaser!
You’ll also pick up a sleight that’s bound to come in handy in a plethora of card routines. Because who doesn't love a new move to throw into the mix?
Lars was inspired by John Carey’s routine also called Stealth. In Lars’ version, the spectators can think of any of the 5 cards, and he’s cleverly incorporated the blank deck. If you’ve got a moment, you might want to check out:
Stealth 2.0, which uses two normal decks and includes a poker routine that transitions smoothly from Dai Vernon's classic poker routine into Stealth 2.0.
Stealth 3.0 is a double ATCANN with two spectators and two normal decks. You know you want to dive into that!
