Atomic Deck by Craig Petty

This video is a review and demonstration of Craig Petty’s Atomic Deck, a groundbreaking approach to the classic ACAAN (Any Card At Any Number) effect. Featuring Craig Petty and renowned magician Marc Paul, the video explores the deck's remarkable capabilities. The core of the Atomic Deck lies in its directness: a spectator freely chooses a card and a number, and without any forces or secret preparations, the magician deals to the specified number, revealing the chosen card. The deck remains openly visible throughout, even allowing cards to be dealt into the spectators' hands. Marc Paul, a close friend and student of David Berglas and a leading authority on the ACAAN, was deeply impressed, stating it's “the closest version to the Holy Grail” he’s seen. The Atomic Deck aims to solve the long-standing challenge of the ACAAN, working every single time with no sleight of hand, memorization, or roughing required. It’s a significant development in card magic, offering a seemingly impossible effect with remarkable simplicity and a clear presentation that emphasizes the spectator's freedom of choice.
