Atomic Deck by Craig Petty

Any Card. At Any Number. The Holy Grail of all Magic... has been solved.

With bold claims you must provide undeniable proof. It's time to unveil The Atomic Deck.

When David Berglas first created the ACAAN, he gifted the Magic community a seemingly impossible puzzle that many thought to be unsolvable. A Penrose Triangle of never-ending mystery.

Craig Petty made a discovery that would shake the foundations of the entire Magic industry. Laying way to a new realm of what we never thought was possible.

With The Atomic Deck, here is exactly what happens. Every. Single. Time.

The Magician places the deck openly on the table. Everyone is asked to think of any card. And any number. No forces. The audience doubles down by making sure that they avoid commonly selected cards and numbers. They can change their mind as many times as they wish. Once everyone is satisfied that their choices were uninfluenced and fair, the magician slowly and clearly picks up the deck, eyes burning their every mico-movement. They begin dealing slowly and deliberately dealing cards, one by one until the number is reached... The magician turns the card over, and it is the exact card they were merely thinking of.

Perfection.

Every. Single. Time.

Here's what you need to know before trying to figure this out:

• No memorization work.
• No sleight of hand.
• Easy to do.
• They don't even have to tell you their card or number.
• The cards are never cut, passed, or in any way.
• The deck is in full view the entire time.
• The cards can be dealt into the participants hands.
• No roughing sprays.

Marc Paul, friend and student of David Berglas, literally wrote the rules for the ACAAN. He was also the only person that David allowed to perform his ACAAN. He did so on national UK television in a video that cemented itself in magic history as one of the most perfect ACAAN performances of all time. What we're saying is, Marc Paul is possibly one of, if not, the most qualified person alive today to talk about the ACAAN. When Craig showed him The Atomic Deck, this is what he said:

"That is the Berglas effect... You've cracked it. This is every magician's dream... It's the closest version to The Holy Grail that I've seen anyone do."

We know. This all sounds too good to be true. What are the drawbacks? We'll be upfront and tell you.

Firstly, if you perform this to a magician and they examine the deck, what they'll see is not an ordinary deck of cards. As you can see in the trailer, if you perform it for non-magicians, they can look through the cards quite openly, although we wouldn't recommend letting them keep it.

In short, we're telling you The Atomic Deck is a special deck of cards that does 90% of the work for you.

Secondly, unlike the large majority of other ACAAN's that exist, The Atomic Deck requires no mental math. Instead, we use the power of something that everyone has on them every day. Their phone. With the tools included, the audience will cleverly code all the information that you need to know to perform this miracle. You don't need your phone or any sneaky peek device. It's all done in a natural and organic way that never feels like it's even part of the trick.

The third drawback... This isn't real magic. But it is as close as we're going to get. And once you see the method, you'll understand why. Hidden in the presentation, the gimmicks, and the tools that come with Atomic Deck, the moment you start, gears begin spinning behind the scenes doing all the hard work for you, making this look as effortless as real magic.

With the seismic breakthrough that Craig developed with The Atomic Deck came one other bizarre twist. There is no sleight of hand. Thanks to the method of how this works, as long as you can deal cards, anyone can perform this miracle.


One mentalist has emerged from the thousands to be heralded as the next generation of Living Legends. A modern day great, most mentalists are in agreement to be considered one of, if not the best mentalists and mind readers on the planet today... Peter Turner.

Peter Turner made a name for himself mainly for two things: prop-less mentalism and fooling the best minds in the world with his ACAAN. When we showed him The Atomic Deck, this is what he said:

"That's better than any version of Any Card at Any Number that I've ever done... That genuinely is the cleanest version of Any Card At Any Number that I've ever seen in my life."
