Description & Effect
Unveiling Colin McLeod's 'Ocean'
Dive deep into one of the most brilliant and deceptive 'Any Card At Any Number' (ACAAN) plots ever conceived with Colin McLeod's 'Ocean.' Hailing from the ingenious mind of Las Vegas mentalist Colin McLeod, this effect transcends typical card magic by layering impossibility upon impossibility, creating a routine that audiences will remember long after the performance. 'Ocean' stands for 'Only Card Exactly At Number,' a testament to its direct and impactful premise.
The Core Miracle Unfolds
Imagine this: A deck of cards is openly handed to a spectator, who is instructed to shuffle it thoroughly. The magician never touches the deck beforehand. The spectator then freely names ANY card – say, the Queen of Hearts – and ANY position in the deck, for example, the 27th position. Without any overt manipulation, palming, or suspicious moves, the magician takes the deck and slowly, deliberately counts down to the spectator's chosen number. With bated breath, the spectator watches as the card at that precise position is revealed. Incredibly, it is exactly the Queen of Hearts, the card they named moments ago.
The Double Kicker That Elevates Everything
Where most ACAAN effects end with the revelation of the chosen card, 'Ocean' is just getting started. Colin McLeod has meticulously engineered two devastating kickers that propel this routine into a league of its own. After the named card is found at its exact position, the magician turns over the *very next card* in the deck. On its face, unmistakably written, is a prediction of the exact position the spectator would name! This moment alone is enough to send shockwaves through your audience. But 'Ocean' isn't finished. For the ultimate finale, you then spread the entire deck to reveal that *every other card* in the pack is blank or contains a revelation that reinforces the impossibility, leaving no doubt that only one card could have ever been at that specific number. This triple-layered climax creates an unforgettable experience.
Why 'Ocean' is a Must-Learn
'Ocean' is more than just a card trick; it's a masterclass in mentalism and misdirection. It offers an incredibly clean presentation, minimizing suspicious movements and maximizing spectator engagement. The dual kickers eliminate any possibility of a simple force or a subtle switch, cementing the illusion of pure mental prowess.

This "any card at any number" plot is almost too perfect:
A deck of cards is handed to a spectator. A card is named, along with any position.
Without manipulating the deck, the magician takes the deck, counts to the named position.
Not only is the named card at the chosen position, but after that there are two kickers that no other routine allows: on the following card it is written that exactly this position will be named.
But this is not enough! Show the game to show that no other card was present in the game!
OCEAN stands for Only Card Exactly At Number, an ingenious idea by Las Vegas mentalist Colin McLeod, who has built three highlights into a single effect.
