Bonus effects:

Perfect ACAAN on Demand

After informally being asked to perform， the magician replies by simply asking the spectator to name any card and any number between 1 and 52. The spectator is offered the chance to change his mind as many times as he may like. The magician gives the spectator an uncased deck held together by a rubber band. In complete fairness， the spectator counts down to his number to find his card.

Mixed Revelation

In this version of ACAAN the spectators have an absolutely free choice of card and number. The big difference between this and many other ACAAN solutions is that with this version the spectators can examine the deck and cut or shuffle during the entire performance. In my opinion this increases the seeming impossibility of this effect.

Final Cut - ACAAN

With this version Tommaso wanted to create an ultra-clean ACAAN. The performer places a boxed deck of cards onto the table. He asks the spectator to name a card and a number (without any force). At his fingertips he slowly removes the deck from the box. In order to show that this is a regular deck he spreads the deck face-up， then he squares it and hands the deck to the spectator. The performer asks the spectator to cut the deck several times in order to destroy any possibility of a stack. Finally he asks the participant to deal cards face up onto the table， counting to his chosen number and the named card is found there.

Dream - ACAAN

The performer places a deck of cards onto the table. He asks the spectator to think a card and to another one to name a number (without any force) at the same time he spreads the deck face-up and hands the deck to the spectator in order to check that this is a regular deck. The performer asks the first spectator to name his thought of card and the second one to square the deck to deal cards face up onto the table， counting to his chosen number， the named card is found there.

Lucifer - ACAAN

The performer places a deck of cards onto the table. He asks the spectator to think of a card and another spectator to name a number (without any force). The performer asks the first spectator to name his thought of card and the second spectator to deal cards face up onto the table. Counting to his chosen number the named card is found there.
