Description & Effect
Introduction to 'Dumbfounded'
Prepare to elevate your card magic to an entirely new level with 'Dumbfounded' by Devin Knights, a revolutionary ebook that teaches an effect so profound, it transcends the classic 'Any Card At Any Number' (ACAAN) plot. This digital download delivers an experience that will leave audiences utterly bewildered, questioning the very fabric of reality.
The Astonishing Effect
Imagine this: A participant shuffles and holds a blue-backed deck, which you never touch again. From a separate red-backed deck, another participant freely selects any card, with no force whatsoever—they can even change their mind. Next, a completely random number is generated by chance, again, with no mathematical calculations or forces involved. The stage is set. The participant holding the blue deck then removes it from its case and deals the cards face up, one by one, until they reach the randomly chosen number. The card at that exact position, which has been out of your hands and sight the entire time, is turned over to reveal—the *exact same card* that was freely selected from the red deck! This is not just a trick; it's a genuine, mind-melting coincidence that will earn you a reputation as a master of mystery.
Why 'Dumbfounded' Stands Out
Devin Knights has meticulously crafted 'Dumbfounded' to be as clean and direct as possible. You'll learn secrets that eliminate the need for gimmicks, duplicate cards, or any deck switches. The integrity of a regular 52-card deck is maintained throughout. Crucially, there are no multiple outs; the powerful ending is consistent every single time. What truly sets this effect apart is the level of spectator involvement. The participant truly holds the 'prediction' deck and performs the final reveal, making the magic feel incredibly organic and undeniable. This ebook provides three distinct methods to achieve this impossible feat, including a self-working approach perfect for beginners or those seeking effortless power, and two methods requiring only a few simple, common sleights. For the ultimate hands-off miracle, one method even allows the magician to never touch *either* deck—the spectators handle everything! Plus, with instant reset instructions, 'Dumbfounded' is perfectly suited for strolling magicians looking to perform repeated miracles.

Original Specs
Devin Knights – Dumbfounded
An amazing coincidence that goes beyond ACAAN.
Effect: The performer shows a blue deck of cards and shuffles it until he feels psychically inclined to stop. He really does not know the order of the cards. The deck is returned to its case and given to a participant to hold. The performer never touches the blue deck again. A red deck is now shown and shuffled by the performer. He has a second participant freely select a card from the red deck. The participant may change his mind, as there is no force. Next, a number is obtained by chance. No mathematics are involved and there is no force of the number. The number is arrived at by chance.
After a card has been chosen and a number obtained by chance, the performer says that he thinks an incredible coincidence has occurred. The participant, not the performer, removes the shuffled deck from the blue case. The participant has been holding the blue deck before a card was selected from the red deck. The participant deals the blue backed cards face up on the table one at time until he comes to the number obtained by chance. The face down card at that number is turned over; it is the same as the card chosen from the red deck! An unbelievable coincidence has just occurred. This is one effect that will leave your spectators dumbfounded, hence the name of the effect.
Again, the performer never touches the blue deck after it is given to the participant. The deck is a regular deck of 52 cards with no duplicates and it is not gimmicked. No deck switches and no gimmicks. There are no multiple outs; the ending is the same each time. The spectator always deals from the facedown blue deck to the number obtained by chance. The card is always at that number and never the next card on top of the deck.
Three methods are given to do this effect. One is self-working while the other two required a few simple sleights that most every magician knows. INCLUDES A METHOD IN WHICH THE MAGICIAN NEVER TOUCHES EITHER DECK AT ANYTIME. THE SPECTATORS DO ALL THE HANDLING.
Includes information on how to do this with instant reset so you can do this in strolling magic situations.
All three methods are easy to do and will fool anyone. Watch the video and see how impossible this looks.
