Imagine the famous magician's grail, the ACAAN, brought up to date in the purest possible way.
You propose to go further than this classic trick, by reversing the roles:
All the cards in the deck are white, each with a number between 1 and 52. A prediction is placed on the table. You ask the spectator to announce any card aloud, then to spell out one card per letter himself: he will then come across a numbered card. The prediction is turned over, matching the number.
This is just one of the effects you can achieve with this booklet, which describes in detail a method, not just a trick. Imagination will be your only limit.
Teaser for the Carta Incognita tour (thanks to Florian Flop for the video presentation of this effect, and to Clémentine Bleurvacq for the teaser!).
A few key points:
- The magician never touches the deck of cards, which can be left in the spectator's hands even before the trick begins and for the duration of the experiment.
- The magician never touches the prediction, which can also be left in the spectator's hands before the experiment begins.
- There's no game-changing, no prediction-changing - as incredible as it may seem, it's really happening as described!
- There's no card with two identical numbers, and all the numbers from 1 to 52 are present in the deck.
- All you need is a blank set on which to write the numbers (or any other symbols you like). Alternatively, we have a set already printed with the numbers right here.
And if you'd like to see the full performance uncut, take a look below to get an idea of the impact on the audience! Demonstration by Florian Flop!

Beyond the iconoclastic idea of reverse ACAAN and more than just a principle, Carta Incognita is an idea, a concept that can be applied endlessly, to all themes, all universes.
In the tradition of Cabinet d'illusions editions, a new publication that's off the beaten track: thank you for sharing it with us!

This booklet is a pleasure to read, easy to understand and, above all, contains a simple but highly effective method. You don't have to limit yourself to the trailer effect, and that would be a shame because the principle opens up so many possibilities. I really like it 🤩

I simply love it, it's brilliant! I'm a big fan of the reverse ACAAN effect, because it's so impactful, but there are so many other possibilities! It's up to you to use your imagination!
