Description
A packet of playing cards is mixed and a spectator freely names any card from within. Next, a small whiteboard or notepad is introduced and the performer writes down sixteen consecutive numbers, inviting the spectator to select any four. The four chosen numbers are added together, creating a final total. This generated total is counted to in the packet, locating the one card that occupies that position. The card arrived at proves to be the very one named by the spectator at the beginning of the routine.
Sum It Up is a super clean ACAAN that happens without the performer ever having to touch the deck. The routine requires no sleight of hand or complicated memory work, it can be learned in minutes and is ideal for all virtual shows.
“Most of us only know how to show off with our magic skills, Adam is putting his to worthwhile and inspiring use. Excellent stuff!” – Derren Brown
“Adam is using his genuine love and curiosity for numbers to artfully weave them into his mentalism performances. I wholeheartedly recommend it.” – Marc Oberon, FISM World Champion
“This is purely cerebral mentalism, reminiscent of Martin Gardener.” – Atlas Brookings
