"Quantum Deck" from Craig Petty might just be the holy grail of the Card at Any Number plot. This is as clean and straightforward as it gets. If you had actual magic powers, this is how you'd perform this iconic classic of magic.

Listen, we get it. Magic and hyperbole go together like peanut butter & jelly or Joshua Jay and Andi Gladwin. But, what we are about to describe is truly what happens-as hard as it might be to believe.

You should probably watch "Quantum Deck" in action first though. Check out the full performance in the trailer before reading any further. While you do, please keep two things in mind:

The number is freely named
The "Quantum Deck" is examinable at the end

Welcome back.

We hope you actually took the time to watch the video. If you did, you'll understand what we meant about having to see it to believe it. That being said, we'll do our best to sum it up in words.

What is "Quantum Deck"?

A deck of cards that is clearly blank on both sides is introduced. You let your spectator know that there is only one card printed in this blank deck of cards and the spectator is going to tell you exactly where it is. All they have to do is name a number. This playing card can even be signed if you'd like.

You then cleanly deal down cards, clearly showing every playing card is blank on both sides as you do. They can burn your hands if they want. When you reach their number, they won't believe their eyes when they see that the only printed playing card in the whole deck resides precisely at the number they chose.

This is strong enough on its own. But, the fact you can then hand the cards out for examination takes "Quantum Deck" to another planet.

No equivoque
No deck switch
No complicated sleight of hand
No difficult math
The card truly is at the number they named
The deck can be examined
Instant reset

It might seem too good to be true. But, it is true. They freely name any number and the playing card is at that position. It's about as close to real magic as possible.

However, this is still a magic trick. So, there is a method. And we feel it's important to let you know that while they can freely name any number, if they chose an unusually low or small number, you may need to gently nudge them toward a more workable number. by simply suggesting that you both know their card is closer to the middle, you can discreetly coerce them into "trusting their intuition" and freely naming another number that's slightly larger or smaller. Everything is extremely fair. And, in many cases, the fact they changed their mind makes things seem even more impossible.

Are the cards really examinable?

"Quantum Deck" uses an ingenious principle built into the special deck of cards that takes care of nearly all the hard work for you. And, yes, to reiterate-despite the fact it's a special deck of cards-you can confidently allow your audience to examine "Quantum Deck".

That's one of the many things we love about this effect. But we want to be very transparent with you: the spectators are TECHNICALLY examining a deck that a very astute magician might notice is "gimmicked" after close examination. But, the way Craig has carefully developed this deck allows laypeople to unwittingly handle the deck without finding anything. (If you're new to magic, you may find this a little nerve-wracking the first time you do it, but, trust us, we've experimented with it and think it's really smart.) Craig even shares a way that you can prepare the deck to potentially fool your magician friends.

Everything is covered in the four hours of instruction, which includes a full hour of live performances both close-up and on stage, as well as in virtual magic shows. You'll learn multiple bonus routines, ideas and handlings, including how the "Quantum Deck" isn't restricted to just Card at Any Number. You can perform transpositions, predictions, comedy routines or even use it as a forcing deck. In fact, you don't even need a playing card at all and can instead use a credit card, business card or even a slip of paper.

This is a super practical worker. It resets in seconds and is perfect for table-hopping close-up magic and street magic, while also playing large enough for stage or parlor magic.

It's no surprise why some of the smartest minds in magic were truly blown away by how genius "Quantum Deck" is:

"That's awesome!"Shawn Farquar

"Dude... my mind is blown right now."Damien O'Brien

"Mr Craig Petty, I have no idea." Kyle Purnell

"Yeah, I have absolutely no idea, Craig. That's really, really good."Marc Oberon

"Quantum Deck" is one of Craig Petty's most cherished creations and he's thrilled to finally share it with you.

"If you thought that magic deck in the preview vid looked like the coolest thing since sliced bread, wait till you get your hands on it. Trust me, it’s every bit as awesome as it promises. Easy to pull off? Check. Fun? Big check. Looking like you just stepped out of Hogwarts? Mega check. The deck is top-notch, folks. Yeah, I’ve heard the grumbles about occasional hiccups that might throw you off your game. Call me lucky, but once I got cozy with it, my deck behaved like it was auditioning for a Vegas show – pretty much flawless. But here's the deal – this isn’t one of those ‘wave your hands and watch the magic happen’ kind of tricks. You gotta put in a smidge of practice. Not like, ‘lock yourself in a room for days’ kind of practice, but enough to not look like you're fumbling through it. Trust me, it’s worth it. The ‘wow’ faces you're gonna get? Chef's kiss! And the cherry on top? Hours upon hours of tutorials and performance vids. We're talking about a goldmine of routines, variations, and all the sneaky moves you need to nail those mind-blowing effects. Long story short, this deck is a total game-changer. Worth every penny and then some. Go grab yours, and thank me later!"

"The Good Stuff Alright, I’ll spill the beans. This trick is smooth. Like, really smooth. We're talking high-quality, finely-tuned craftsmanship here. And the best part? It's so easy, a teenager getting dragged into family gatherings could pull it off – but don't worry, it’s got enough pizzazz to dazzle anyone older too. The Not-So-Good Stuff Now, onto the bits that might make you pause like a deer in headlights. To my fellow wizards, this trick is a no-brainer because we know the ropes. But, to the layman? You might have to jazz it up a bit with your presentation, or it might just zoom over their heads like a UFO. And yeah, it does dig a bit into the wallet, but believe me, it’s like investing in a magic wand that actually works - totally worth it. Pro Tips From Yours Truly Changing things up a bit, I throw in all the extra cards to make this trick easier than finding an excuse to avoid gym class. Also, a little birdie (or was it a dragon?) told me about O’Keeffe’s Working Hands for those moments my hands decide to become as dry as a desert – makes handling cards a breeze. Final Act So, if you’re looking to add a dash of ""How did they do that?!"" to your act or just want to impress your cat (honestly, they're tough critics), this trick is your ticket. It’s not just a trick; it’s a backstage pass to awesomeness. Give it a whirl, and who knows? Maybe you’ll be the next Houdini – or at least, be able to mystify your friends at the next get-together. Remember, magic is about having fun and sharing wonder. And possibly making your friends question reality, but that’s just a bonus, right? Keep it magical, folks!"

"I just had to drop in and share my two cents on my latest snag. Here’s the scoop in a nutshell - it’s a solid 5 stars from me, folks. Now, before you roll your eyes and think, ""Ah, another magic tutorial…"", hear me out. The true gem of this purchase isn’t some fancy schmancy gadget; it’s the treasure trove of video instructions and performances. Sure, at first glance, it's like, ""Great, a bunch of performances. What am I gonna do, watch and weep?"" But no, my friend, these videos are a goldmine of inspiration. They sparked ideas in me I didn’t even know I was capable of. Imagine that! I’m not even kidding when I say I would’ve thrown down 30 bucks just for the one-hour tutorial. It’s that good. And get this, the gimmick they toss in? Consider it a cherry on top. A freebie to sweeten the deal. Now, the creators have been all hush-hush about the gimmick details, and I respect that. But between you and me? You don’t even need it. Arm yourself with the video downloads and a double blank deck, and you’re set to wow. Was I a smidge disappointed? Eh, maybe a sliver. But over the moon with my purchase? Absolutely YES. For anyone on the fence, thinking this is yet another trick in the book, think again. It’s not just about learning a secret; it’s about unlocking a whole new level of performance art. And if you’re anything like me, you’ll find yourself thinking, ""Why didn’t I get this sooner?"" Here’s to more magical marvels and less gimmicky gadgets!"

"Just dove into ""Quantum"" by Craig Petty, and boy, do I have some thoughts! After rummaging through a treasure trove of ACAAN (Any Card At Any Number) routines, I've finally struck gold. Yep, you heard me right—this might just be the Holy Grail of ACAAN tricks out there. First off, the deck screams quality (but, you know, in a very polite, deck-like manner). Sure, it's kinda playing hide-and-seek with the invisible deck concept, meaning you'll get cozy with that roughing fluid now and then. But hey, no pain no gain, right? What really cranks my gears in a good way? Craig Petty's genius move to sidestep those awk ""out of range"" numbers. I've watched magicians (shoutout Adrian Vega and Christian Grace) essentially cross their fingers, hoping spectators pick the ""usual"" numbers. But come on, in the world of magic, we’re about covering all bases from 1 to 52—And Craig? He's done just that! If handing out stars, Quantum's snagging all five—a standing ovation from me. And here's the kicker: that deck can stand up to a scrutinous gaze from your average Joe or Jane, leaving them baffled at its quirky charm (think all the cards in ""camouflage"" except one). Believe me, they won't guess its true magic powers. Wrapping up, if you're in for a mind-blowing routine with a side of ""how the heck?!"", Quantum's your ticket. Plus, the explainer video's the cherry on top—talk about a magic masterclass! Cheers to more magic and less ""uh-oh"" moments"

Ever stumbled upon a trick that's drawn more raised eyebrows than a magician pulling a rabbit out of a top hat? Yeah, me too. And Craig's number trick? It's smack in the middle of that magical controversy. But, folks, I'm here to tell ya, the critique's got it all wrong. First up, everyone's quibbling about the whole "but you can only pick this specific range of numbers" thing. Craig, that clever wizard, has tricks up his sleeve (literally) stretching that from a snug 7 to a whopping 47. Saw him count out 47 cards once, smooth as silk. And yeah, counting to 47 might sound as fun as watching paint dry, but Craig's got our backs with some snazzy techniques to keep things spicy. And the whole deal about handin' out the cards? Folks, your audience is just gonna see a bunch of cards that couldn't tell you next week's lotto numbers if they tried. Blank. Both sides. If you're sweating bullets over someone clocking the card thickness during your encore ?C chill. First rule of Magic Club? Don't do the same trick twice to the same crowd. Craig's demo to his magician pals ain't the standard. Plus, if you're hell-bent on a replay, just shuffle those cards like it's a dance mix, and you're golden. Now, if you're a teen magicking away in the cafeteria, fair warning ?C your peers might be tougher critics than Simon Cowell. But for anyone else, even slightly seasoned magicians, this trick's a breeze. Here??s the skinny: experienced or not, Craig??s number trick is a solid gold hit. A bit of practice might be in the cards if you're new to the magic game, but hey, nothin' worth doing was ever easy, right? This one's a keeper, folks. Don't let the naysayers deter you; grab it, learn it, and prepare to bask in the oohs and aahs.
