I’ve been fascinated by the Any Card at Any Number trick since I was a teenager.  I’ve developed and published several methods of doing it.  I was going through an old notebook and found this version that I was doing in the early 2000’s

 

This version has a few interesting things going for it, like the imaginary deck premise and that’s it’s pretty easy to do.  It also have a few things not going for it, like having to use the “magician’s choice” force for the suit selection, the deck can’t be handled by the spectator and it’s uses for another trick and very limited (but not impossible).

 

This version I call the Imaginary Card at Any Number and will be published in an upcoming issue of Vanish Magazine.  Hopefully someone will use the trick as a jumping off point for their version of the trick.  For me the method for this trick had me work to eliminate the weaknesses and come up with a better versions. My current version doesn’t have the weaknesses of this trick.
