Dice CAAN by John Carey

Created by: John Carey

Dice CAAN is a close-up card magic trick where a spectator freely names any card and rolls dice to generate a random number. The magician then counts down to that number in the deck, and the spectator's named card is revealed exactly at that position—a perfect 'Card At Any Number' miracle. This self-working routine requires no sleight of hand, uses standard dice and a deck of cards, and is designed for impromptu performances with strong audience impact. Buyers should note that it relies on clever mathematical principles and psychological forces rather than complex moves, making it accessible to magicians of all skill levels.
