The \u201cAny Card at Any Number\u201d plot is one of the premier and most complex plots in all of card magic. Every aspect of this plot intrigues me. I was naturally drawn to it\uff0c much like I was drawn to the \u201cBarehanded Matrix\u201d plot.<\/span><\/p>\n

Both are simple in concept\uff0c intricate in method\uff0c and absolutely astonishing in performance. Inside of these pages you will find what I believe to be the most amazing presentations and methods to the \u201cAny card at any number\u201d plot ever offered to the magic community.

Not only will you enjoy my original methods\uff0c but also the best methods from some of magic\u2019s most influential minds. And this is only the beginning\u2026 I begin this journey with a thirty three page essay on creativity\uff0c in which I offer a systematic approach to creativity and the expression of one\u2019s self through the magical arts. I then exemplify this approach as I offer full descriptions of my most guarded solutions to the \u201cAny Card at Any Number\u201d plot\uff0c as well as contributed methods that have had a major impact on this plot (some famous and some never-before-published). These solutions include every possible venue and skill level\u2026from impromptu and close-up with a borrowed deck to much more intricate and prepared stage presentations where the performer never even touches the cards!

At the end of the book you will find over 40 other sources cited to serve as a reference point for anyone interested in the \u201cAny card at any number\u201d or \u201cCard at any number\u201d plots. As you page through this work\uff0c you will soon find that I have included many other systems\uff0c techniques\uff0c and routines that do not deal with the \u201cAny card at any number\u201d plot. If you are looking for a compilation of \u201csleighty\u201d routines and moves\uff0c this is not the book for you. However\uff0c if you are interested in routines and systems that look like real magic\u2026constructed with clever principles designed to fool and entertain the layperson and the fellow magi alike\u2026welcome.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMeant To Be\u2026 is anEXCELLENT BOOK<\/em>\u201d\u2013 Michael Close (Genii Magazine Product Review)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m pleased to report that the book is excellent. The skinny is this\uff1a if you are interested in performing Any Card at Any Number \u2013 in any of its myriad forms \u2013 then you should own Meant To Be.\u201d
– Jason England ( Magic Magazine Product Review)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHighly recommended for the serious card man.\u201d– Phil Willmarth (Linking Ring Product Review)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis shows what can be done when one takes their time and digs deeply. His excellent treatise has now swung open the doors (of perception) widely…This subject-plot has yet to be completely mined. I highly recommend checking this one out. The bar has been raised…\u201d– Jon Racherbaumer<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cJohn Born’s version of Any Card At Any Number\u00a0fooled everyone I spoke to at FFFF.\u00a0 Meant To Be is a book full of workable\uff0c practical and original methods for this classic plot.\u00a0 However\uff0c this is not merely a book of secrets.\u00a0 It is also a fascinating insight into how John’s mind works and how he approaches his craft.\u00a0The essays are written by a man who cares about\u00a0using magic to create art.\u00a0 I have become a better magician for reading this book. I am sure you will too.\u201d\u2013 Nick Einhorn<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cProbably the book of the year!<\/strong>How\u2019s that for a prediction. It\u2019s INCREDIBLY good \u2013 worth every penny.\u201d Tony Miller\u2013 Channel One Magazine<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI was lucky to be present when John performed some of his material from Meant To Be and he literally kicked ass and took names–including mine. I found John’s superb book (though dedicated to “Any Card at any Number” plot) to be a wonderful read. I was delighted (but not surprised) when I discovered that Meant To Be was chocked full of creative\uff0c powerful routines\uff0c and solid advice. Everything that John Born does is first class–including Meant To Be.I highly recommend it–it’s a must read.\u201d – Tom Gagnon<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOne thing John and I share is a love of magic that seems truly IMPOSSIBLE. This is the stuff that leaves everyone scratching their heads and talking about it for days after witnessing it. John won the close up contest at the MagiFest on the strength of one of his Any Card at Any Number routines. This routine was also a tremendous hit at FFFF this year. It was one of the items that was talked about throughout the convention since it just seemed totally impossible.I will leave you with three words of advice – get this book!\u201d – Mike Powers<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is exactly what ACAN should look like…the most clean and direct handling I have ever read. It was nice to see so many magicians fooled so badly. John has really put a lot of thought into this plot and shares many ideas on how to take this effect to the next level. If my copy ofMeant To Be\u2026<\/em>was the only one in existence I would be one lucky guy. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!– Cody Fisher<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI read your book three times. I was stimulated by your ideas on creativity and what real magic looks like and feels like to the audience. What a fascinating book it is\u2026\u201d\u2013 Barrie Richardson<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cJohn Born\u2019s Card at Any Number effect that he performed at the 2006 FFFF convention was almost TOO CLEAN TO BE BELIEVED!!!\u201d– David Regal<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOnce again I wanted to thank you for your kindness. What a brilliant collection of methods and ideas for ACAAN.\u201d– Banachek<\/strong>

\u201cNo one will look at that plot more thoroughly\uff0c more professionally\uff0c than Born does in a book best described as perfection. Hands down\uff0c this is a book that is a must for anyone who has been even moderately curious about performing \u2018Any card at any number\u2019. It’s too great a work to pass up.\u201d– Shane (Online-visions.com Product Review)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn an age when a plethora of DVDs saturate the market\uff0c John chose to write a superb book. It is informative\uff0c well written and deals not just with the ACAAN effect\uff0c but various performance topics. His versions involve the type of approach to magic that I love\uff1a doing all the sneaky stuff before anyone thinks you’ve started doing sneaky stuff. I’d highly recommend John’s book to anyone interested in the \u2018Any Card at Any Number\u2019 plot.\u201d\u2013 Jon Allen<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cA must have for sure!<\/strong>I saw John perform one of his fantastic versions at the Motor City Close up Convention last year and he killed everyone. Get it or be fooled!\u201d\u2013 Nathan Kranzo<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is some of the most brilliant thinking I have ever read.By far the best method for the Any Card At Any Number plot I have ever encountered.<\/strong>I\uff0c like Cody Fisher\uff0c collect methods for this effect. This is the best I have ever read. Thank you for sharing this wonderful work. This IS the real work.\u201d– Karl Miller<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
