'Automated ACAAN' by Mystery Mark (Cards+Video Download, 2012)

Sorry Mark. Now I've received the cards and the video, I believe the product description is somewhat misleading. I was looking for a new version of ACAAN that reproduces the classic effect as described in your product description:

The spectator selects any playing card and number, and will find their card at the selected position in the deck.

I think it is fair to say that's pretty reductive.

I think the following is more apt:

The spectator selects any playing card via a cut. A number is chosen by cutting to a random card and using its value. The spectator will then use the lookup card to find out how many cards down they must count to in order to find their chosen card.

If that had been the description I think I'd have passed on buying this because it wasn't what I was looking for.

Mark I think you should put a performance video up somewhere for people to watch to allow them to make a more informed decision before purchase. I'm sure many folk will love your take on the effect.

Cheers
