Ikea? We’re not nicking pencils again are we?

Take a chill pill sweet cheeks, it was a joke because Modulo sounds like it could be an Ikea wardrobe maybe? Or an elegantly designed chair with…

Oh forget it, my jokes are wasted on you!

Filigree design

I’ll just get straight to it… Crack open your 3rd eye, lube up your abacus and summon a fresh deck of bikes

because today we’re gliding straight into Fraser Parker.

Spacer

WAIT…WHAT?. You’re gliding into Fraser Parker?

Spacer

Spacer

My bad… I missed out a few words there.

I meant we’re gliding straight into the paradoxical, rule breaking and let’s not forget brain melting world of Fraser Parker

and his latest saucerful of secrets: Modulo.

Filigree design

This is Fraser’s delightfully baffling take on the Any Card at Any Number (ACAAN) plot… Yes, that plot… The Holy Grail.

Spacer

This is a trick that’s drove magicians to the brink of madness and sent mentalists to padded cells whilst arguing with psychiatrists

about the true meaning of ‘any’.

Fraser Parker doesn’t just offer a solution to ACAAN.

He offers a philosophical disruption.

Spacer

Modulo is a system that says:

Spacer

I see your mathematical structure

and raise you 2 moments of  impossibility!

Filigree design

Let’s unfold the ACAAN universe…

Spacer

I’m sure you’ve all seen the different gimmicked decks.

There seems to be a new one every other month.

Some are great, some use apps and each of them offer their own unique approach to solving the ACAAN riddle.

Well I’m pleased to inform you that Fraser’s Modulo isn’t an app or a gimmick.

Modulo is Fraser Parker’s ACAAN, but like everything Fraser touches,

it’s been marinated in strange sauce,

then summoned into existence by drunken bats who sing Oasis songs!

Filigree design

In this effect:

Spacer

A participant freely thinks of a card.

Another participant freely thinks of a number.

A physical deck (yes, real cards, calm down purists) is introduced.

The cards are removed from the box and the thought of card is at the thought of number. No dodgy looking sleight of hand, no quantum physics, no pre show, no stooges and no weird pauses where you suddenly look as though you’re recalculating your mortgage.

Just pure thought… manifesting as a card and a number.

Filigree design

But wait… How?

Spacer

Well I’m not going to give away the dark arts but I will tell you that

Modulo works on a proprietary blend of:

Spacer

Fraser style psychological structure, participant management, a little bit of boldness camouflaged as casual confidence, a touch of divine misdirection that feels like it’s been blessed by an oracle and some binary Juju.

All the fluffy stuff is gone and what you’re left with isn’t a magician’s solution, it’s a mentalist’s answer to ACAAN.

Spacer

You’re not just performing a trick, you’re building a moment.

One where people will question the way reality unfolds in front of them.

Filigree design

Sounds Like Witchcraft!

It’s not witchcraft and their is a compromise (there’s always a compromise!) Every version of ACAAN has it’s own unique compromise but what’s nice about Modulo is how Fraser frames it and his subtle use of psychology makes it seem as though you’ve never even handled the deck.

Filigree design

Another cool thing about Modulo is: It’s Actually Practical

No, really, you can do this, keep a deck in your pocket and you can perform it at any given moment, it works in close up, parlour and even stage settings.

In fact you could do this over Skype (if Skype’s even still a thing?)

Filigree design

What I will say though is:

This isn’t a boil in the bag trick and away you go.

As with anything useful there’s a moderate learning curve. 

You’re gonna need some Karate Kid level focus when learning Modulo.

Spacer

Own the Silence… Fraser’s effects thrive in stillness. Don’t rush, allow each phase to breathe. If a spectator starts holding their breath, you’re doing it right… Unless they go blue, in which case I hope you know CPR?

Spacer

Don’t Oversell it, let the structure do the work.

Lean Into the Mystery, you’re not solving a puzzle.

You’re channelling thoughts.

Rehearse your Confidence, Modulo requires you to appear relaxed.

You want them to believe that you’ve already seen the outcome.

Be gentle, subtle and spooky.

Filigree design

Who Is Modulo For?

Spacer

I’ll tell you who it’s not for:

Spacer

people who still count using their fingers, card sharks, sleight junkies

or magicians who need 37 outs and a double lift just to feel safe.

Spacer

Modulo is for:

Spacer

Mentalists who can count past their first hand.

Performers who like things to feel real, rather than just look clever.

Fraser fans who enjoy the mix of minimalism and mystery.

Spacer

If you’re already familiar with Fraser’s material like False Messiah or Sui Generis, then Modulo will feel like a natural evolution for you.

Spacer

Like most of Fraser’s effects, Modulo isn’t about fooling magicians.

It’s about creating genuine moments of impossibility for real people.

Filigree design

Fragmented Thoughts:

Spacer

Fraser Parker doesn’t create puzzles, he builds portals and with Modulo, he hands you the key, it’s subtle and invisible but immensely powerful.

This is not the kind of trick you do ten times a night. This is the one you save, the one you build up to. The one where the deck never touches your hands

and their minds never quite recover.

Fraser hasn’t just solved ACAAN… He’s transcended it!

But hurry, as there’s now less than 20 remaining!
