Any Card At Any Number， and especially the version known as "The Berglas Effect"， has always fascinated me for its simplicity. It is literally an unbelievable effect， still considered by some to be a myth or a legend， because:
Here are the final conditions for my new effect "Destiny":
He shows the deck of cards and turns to a spectator asking: "Please check these out - make sure they are just what they seem to be， and if you'd like， give them a little mix or shuffle."
The spectator shuffles the cards.
The conjurer asks for the deck back: "Perfect， I'll just remove the jokers and， as you can see， the pack is pretty well shuffled... yes?"
The conjurer shows the cards to the person who shuffled them， who agrees that they are well mixed.
The performer squares the deck and puts it back on the table， saying， "I need your cooperation now. Can you remember and think of one card in the deck?"
Spectator: "Yes".
Performer: "Think of it intensively but don't say it out loud".
The conjurer turns to a second spectator: "Would you please take the deck and deal the cards out， one by one， on the table?"
The spectator does as directed. Whether he deals face up or face down is not important， so long as he deals them out one by one.
Performer: "Yes， carry on this way and just stop whenever you think the time is right..."
The spectator deals for several seconds， and then stops.
Performer: "Let's sum up. A deck of cards has been shuffled， placed upon the table， and never touched by me again. One person thought of a card. A second person dealt the cards out one by one on the table， and then stopped wherever they liked. Wouldn't it be incredible if everything has been written already and the card thought of by the first person and the one chosen by the second person coincided?"
Everyone agrees that it would indeed be amazing.
Performer: "Now， can you please tell us the card you thought of?"
Spectator 1: "7 of Spades."
Performer: "Now， you can turn over the card on which the second assistant stopped."
They turn up the stopped-at card. It is the 7 of Spades.
Whilst the first person shows his astonishment， the conjurer takes the fce-down card that he placed on the table at the beginning and says: "I still need your attention please! If you remember， before we started， I put a card on the table without revealing it， and believe it or not， I knew already what would happen."
The conjurer turns the card and it is a 7 of Spades.
The stunned audience notices a number written on the center of the card (for example， 15). Someone asks what it means.
Performer: "Good question! I told you I foresaw everything that would happen. Please count the number of cards that you dealt out on the table."

Any Card At Any Number， and especially the version known as "The Berglas Effect"， has always fascinated me for its simplicity. It is literally an unbelievable effect， still considered by some to be a myth or a legend， because:
- A common deck of cards is used， and is always on view on the table.
- Spectator "A" names a card and Spectator "B" chooses a number.
- A third person deals down through the cards to that chosen number， and
- at that position finds the card named by Spectator "A".
- The conjurer never touches the deck.
- No hidden assistants or stooges -- no pre-show.
Here are the final conditions for my new effect "Destiny":
- Common deck of non-stacked cards
- Cards always in view
- The conjurer handles the cards briefly to show that they are well mixed， but otherwise the effect takes place in the spectators' hands
- Prediction (a face-down card) always visible on the table
- The thought-of card is only named by the spectator after the cards are on the table - performer doesn't touch the cards once they are placed on the table
