Default CAAN- Revamped!

Well, I just had an interesting idea for a CAAN, here it is. Not as impressive as I'd thought, but I like it personally.

I like how you called it CAAN rather than ACAAN.
The trick itself pretty nice looks like it might get some good reactions but I think you should build up it up a bit more at the end.

I actually had a ACAAN like this. Spectator can name any card and any number, you lift up the deck and do a p*** from the back if necessary (just roughly, no need for exactness), explain what you're about to do, show the first card while you explain it, and get to their number which is their chosen card at their chosen number.

The only problem I have with it is that it's difficult (in either your 'CAAN' and the 'ACAAN') to add some suspense in the end and keep it all open and deceptive at the same time. Other than that, me likes.

You could always pause and ask what the card was, then slowly deal it!

I really like it! But to me, the ending looks kinda weird. Maybe the spectators are wondering why you're holding the deck this way when dealing the cards instead of just dealing them normally. But it's just my opinion.

I think I kinda agree with this... Maybe a s***** deal could be utilised instead? Just my opinion

The SD is another method of it, but I'm doing this for the assurance of no dirty work. Think about it, I am dealing to their selected number, and they cannot see anything weird because any card I deal is visible to them at the time of dealing.
