4…3…2…1…0 – by Ross Tayler

Any Card At Any Number is a modern classic of card magic. The conditions of impossibility and clarity of effect which characterise it make for an exceptionally strong piece of magic.

For me, these conditions have always had to include that the deck be shuffled by participants throughout the effect, and that everything is as hands-off as possible. In 4…3…2…1…0 I present five of my own solutions to this effect, each tailored for different performing environments and situations. Some are incredibly direct, some very sleight-heavy, and one even relies on an entirely psychological method.

This project contains some of the best card magic I’ve ever created, and I’m certain you’ll find something you love in here.
