The nature of how and when the app is used will make sense as to why it’s not viable for Android users. So what’s deal? Well, for the method, there are two extra things you will need to perform the effect as described a fairly standard and easily found gimmicked deck and an app, which unfortunately is only available for Iphone users. It looks and feels like real magic to an audience because it feels like nothing overt is happening, which is pretty much the reality of the situation. The method is not complicated in any way, extremely direct and simple to follow.
The curtain had been pulled away from the Wizard. My first time reading through this method, it was a weird moment of clarity. The selected card is found at the named number. The selected card is then lost back into the shuffled pack and another spectator at random is asked to call someone they know will pick up, like a family member, friend or even a work colleague, to name a number between 1 and 52. The stranger on the phone precisely names the selected card that has been isolated since the start of the effect. The selected phone number is called on loud speaker, the stranger on the other end is asked to name any card. A phone book is introduced and a phone number chosen at random by the decisions and choices of one or many spectators. so let’s see what he has to offer.Ī card is selected from a tabled spread by a spectator and isolated. Now that may seem weird to use phone numbers since there’s more numbers than a deck has cards. The new piece he’s released from his working set is another great piece of strange Any Card at Any Phone Number ², Paul’s take on the ACAAN using two randomly chosen phone numbers. Also, as a good friend and confidante with some of the greats of our generation, like Tom Mullica, Michael Weber, Teller and Johnny Thompson, what he has to say, how he thinks and what he does is worth every cent.Īside from his latest larger book releases, Paul also releases some of the crazy shit he performs in his working set as one-off releases, like ‘ Diplopia‘ and ‘ Sympathy for the Devil‘ which would flit around the underground with an air of mystery that make you need to know what the fuck was happening. You’re getting a fully fleshed out act that KILLED at the Castle. He’s talking you through what he has had to painstakingly create, perform, refine, revisit and perfect in front of a paying audience night after night to get it to a final product. You’re getting the whole nine yards methods, finesses, presentation and all. The reason is because you’re not paying for the usual mish-mash of ideas, effects and methods, forcing you to find the good material among the more academic “filler” included, like with most magic books, where they invite you to “use your favorite method” or make up some other bullshit to omit pertinent information like their ideas are fucking state secrets. Why the fuck would you pay $200 for his book when there’s other magician’s books out there for $30-60 each? When the price tag was announced for these two books ($200+ a pop), a lot of people stuck their nose up a the idea. Paul has also released a few books recently, outlining his working acts in his amazing books ‘Classic Fantastic’ (OOP, find it if you can) and ‘ Doors of Deception‘ (Limited but in print, get it from Paul!). This is what experiencing real magic would (Could, Should) be like.
It’s other worldly his gaze, voice and demeanor alone immerse you into this sense that what you’re seeing, hearing and feeling is truly happening. I can’t succinctly put into words what it’s like watching Paul do his thing. If you’ve ever had the blessing of seeing Paul perform, you’ll know that he doesn’t fuck around with mediocre bullshit “filler” magic. This is where shit kicked into fifth gear. Just before Christmas, I woke up in a drunken stupor, after butt-chugging Mojitos through a funnel, to find a message from Paul Vigil about something he’s putting out a piece of magic he’s been using in his regular set, but felt it was time to release it to be enjoyed by the magic community. Hope y’all had a great Christmas/New Years/Whatever the fuck this world is going through right now is called.
