Description & Effect
Master the Impossible: Any Card at Any Number
'The Untouchables' by David Devlin isn't just another card trick; it's a profound, hands-off miracle that redefines the 'Any Card at Any Number' (ACAAN) effect. Imagine performing an illusion where you literally do not touch the deck once the magic begins, yet you reveal a card and number that were predicted long before the spectator even thought of them. This ingenious ebook provides you with the secrets to an effect so clean and impossible, your audience will be left speechless, convinced you possess genuine psychic abilities. David Devlin has crafted a routine that strips away all the usual complexities, delivering a pure, unadulterated moment of wonder.
The Untouchables Effect: A True Spectator Miracle
Here's how 'The Untouchables' unfolds: a spectator shuffles the deck. Another spectator secretly thinks of any number between one and fifty-two. The performer turns their back, giving the deck to a third spectator who then freely constructs ANY card – let's say the King of Diamonds – and shuffles the deck again until content. The spectator who thought of a number now reveals it, for instance, 27. Any spectator deals to the 27th card, and it's the King of Diamonds! But the miracle doesn't end there. The performer then has the spectator open the card box, which has been in full view, to find a joker with a written prediction: 'The King of Diamonds will be found at the 27th position!' Every detail, every choice, confirmed to be pre-ordained.
Why 'The Untouchables' Stands Apart
What truly sets this effect apart is its almost self-working nature and the absolute minimum involvement from the performer. Say goodbye to complicated sleight of hand, nail writers, stooges, or any suspicious procedures. There's nothing to write down, no peeks, no tears, and absolutely no gimmicks or extra cards. The deck can be borrowed and is genuinely unprepared, making it incredibly versatile for any performance setting. This routine empowers the spectators to create the magic themselves, making the experience even more impactful and inexplicable for them.

Original Specs
The Untouchables by David Devlin
This is a new Any Card at Any Number effect in which (apparently) the spectator does all of the work, and it happens all in his hands. Not only that, but the performer has predicted the entire outcome; the card and the number, far in advance! This is all true. The performer never touches the deck once the effect begins.
Here is the effect as the audience sees it: The deck is shuffled by a spectator. The performer has any spectator think of any number between one and fifty-two, but not to reveal it to anyone until asked by the performer. Nothing is written down. The number is simply thought of.
The performer gives the deck to any spectator. From this point on the performer does not touch the cards again, not even for a second. The performer turns his back so that he cannot observe the spectators following actions. The spectator now randomly constructs a single card. This is done very simply. There are no weird mathematical procedures or anything like that. He first comes up with the value. Let's suppose it is a King. He then creates the suit. Let's say it is a Diamond, thus the spectator has created the King of Diamonds. The spectator now shuffles the deck until he is content.
The spectator who has been thinking of a number since before anything has happened now reveals his number. Let's assume that the number is 27. At this point the performer faces the audience. Any spectator now deals to the 27th card. It is turned over by any spectator, and it is the King of Diamonds!
The performer states that perhaps this was all just luck or coincidence. The performer then proves that everything was predetermined by having the spectator open the card box (that has been in full view the entire time). The spectator does so, and removes the Joker card from inside it. On the back of the Joker is a note that is read by the performer along with the spectator. It reads:
"The King of Diamonds will be found at the 27th position!"
The deck can be borrowed; it is shuffled by the spectator before and during the effect, and best of all it is damn-near self-working.
