Hi everyone. Just received Richard Sanders Any Card, and have really been looking forward to it. However – no matter which way I orient the deck, there doesn't seem to be a difference between 'this area' and 'this area'. The paired cards split way too easily (I use both Brainwave and Invisible decks, so I'm not new to handling this), while the 'singles' seem more 'sticky' than the others. In other words, in spite of experience and following the tutorial, it seems my specific deck is either treated incorrectly, or worn out/dryed out – can that happen? Have others tried something similar? In addition to this, the tutorial vid mentions a proprietary roughing process – does that mean I can not 'improve' them by using the roughing stick I usually apply? I was really looking forward to this trick, but now that I have it in hand, it's somewhat disappointing, as it's way too easy to flash the wrong cards, while the 'ungimmicked' cards stick to each other like crazy. Any help or input from people using this? Thanks in advance!

Please contact magic@vanishingincmagic.com, and they'll help you set up a return or work out how to fix your deck if possible :)

Can I force a card or however it works in other languages?

It sure can. You can write on the cards yourself

Does this deck come with any *extras* of the important cards (in case you mess up while writing, want to give the aces away, etc.)? Or does it only have just enough for the trick?

It only comes with enough for the trick. You can easily replenish the deck though, with cards from a standard deck.

Is the deck available in red?

I believe it only comes in red.

Will I need to memorize a system or calculate a formula? Or is it as "Cardtoon"

You will not have to memorize or do any calculations.

I have very dry hands and certain types of cards do not work well for me. Is there recourse If I cannot do this reliably. Can dry hands be a problem? I like this trick very much. but ... recommended for me?

If you can handle a deck like Brainwave or the Invisible deck, the Any Card will work well for you.

Is it possible to do in German?

As long as the name could be written on the backs of four cards, any language could be used.

This is a very clever gimmicked deck of cards.

What happens?

You remove a boxed deck of cards. Ask your spectator to name any card. (And it really can be any card, there’s no force, psychological or otherwise). Let’s assume they name the five of hearts. You unbox the deck, and fan through, explaining you reversed the four aces in the deck previously because you were sure they were going to pick an ace. You act disappointed. Then, bam, you turn over the four aces, to show each card has a word written on the back. The. Five. Of. Hearts. One word on each ace.

Remember:

Any card can be named
The clever trick deck does the work for you
Very quick reset - ideal for strolling
No bad angles - can be done surrounded
Works with any language

What you get:

Very sneaky gimmicked deck
Detailed online video tutorial from Richard Sanders
Three great presentations
Bonus handlings and tips

Sure, it’s not cheap, but Richard has been working on this for over ten years. Every wrinkle has been ironed out. It is a real worker.

Customer reviews for Any Card

George

I love this. My only complaint is, for $40 the cards should have been marked out of the box. Not because of the effort (that's minimal) but for the appearance. I have pretty sloppy printing. All in all, I think it's worth the $40 and a really fantastic trick. Very happy with this purchase.

Richard

Just great! Old principles with at least two added touches that enhance both the ease of performance and longevity of the deck. VERY clever! Great for walk-around, as no table is needed. Easy, if not instant, reset.

Don

This is one of the sweetest revelation decks that you will find! This ranks right up there with the "Invisible Deck" as well as any "Brainwave" routine. It's an extremely strong effect. Richard Sanders has really un-corked a wild one here! It does involve extensive prep but it's worth every minute. It's very do-able for any level of magi with the proper practice and rehearsal. Do not let this one get by you...a dynamite deck of cards!!

Walter

This is a 5-star effect. The instruction is top-notch. The implementation is smart. The performance is achievable without superior dexterity. I deduct one star only because the setup time is egregious, and the "arts and crafts" of that setup could have been done as part of the package sold.
I do recommend this fun illusion for purchase, nevertheless.

Dustin

i love this trick. i was a little worried in the begining because i have bad handwriting , but take the time do it along with the video and u will have a power house in ur hands . i think better than the invisible deck and im glad u have to put a little work into it. it adds more value.

Raphael

If you love the I.D., then you will love this 50 times as much. In my opinion it is one of the strongest prediction effects a magician can hope for, with an initial 'the magician failed' narrative built in, it creates a really amazing plot twist for the spectator which will definitely leave them in awe.

Bill

This is my go to closer! It is brilliant! Takes a little preparation but it is minimal. Took a little practice as far as just the handling of the cards but I do the trick with ease now. I've yet to have anybody ask to examine the deck at the end because they're too busy picking their jaw up off the floor. I wish I had 50 more tricks like it as no one has a clue how it's done. A real winner!

Daniel

I perform “Any Card” just about every time. I have been in magic over 50 years and it is in my top 10 favorites. There is some preparation ahead of time that is easy, and with a small amount of practice you will be ready to perform. Great audience reaction.

Michael

It’s a great trick for beginners to perform. Handling and reset is quick and easy. The video is high quality. What’s really nice is that you customize each card. My recommendation would be to practice on some dummy cards before you mark up your real deck!

Mark

Great effect. I found parts of the instructional video a bit challenging to follow. Otherwise I'd recommend the effect.

Rick

This trick kinda kills! And once you get it figured out, is pretty fool proof… best of all it makes you look like a real pro!

Jeff

It’s hard to believe that Richard is flying under so many radars these days. If you perform for humans, get this, and be happy the radars of “magicians” are stuck on “modern magic” mode…
