ANATE is a psychological technique.
"Dee Christopher has an applied sense of a linguistic principle here not unlike my own. His approach in this work is one to which I not only relate, but applaud."
- Kenton Knepper
It's a subtlety that is not 100% surefire, but when you get the technique down and you hit, You'll know it. *Please note, this linguistic technique will only work in English.
This EXPANDED VERSION will give you outs and other applications so no one will ever know if you weren't perfect right at the start...and you will never be seen to miss at all in the eyes of your audience. If you have Kenton's Kolossal Killer, you won't need to fuss anyway!
You can read the basics of this in Killer Konceptions 2010 where Dee first tipped it under the heading "Simplex Killer." Since then Dee has tightened up the method, honed it down, and added new techniques, approaches and effects to make for this very popular ANATE EXPANDED release.
Here are the basics:
Imagine placing one card on the table, face down. The spectator decides on a playing card. They turn over the card on the table to reveal a perfect match of what was named. No preshow or physical forcing. The place explodes.
Imagine holding your wallet in full view and asking a spectator to name a card. The card is then instantly pulled from your wallet, without other cards in your wallet.
Imagine something that you can carry with you always, to create impossible, unbelievable prop-free demonstrations as limitless as your imagination.
This is ANATE.
There is no indexing, no gimmicks, no stacks, no nothing. All you need is a single playing card, or a maximum of four cards in your wallet, or you may simply write a prediction.
The reviews speak for themselves. As previously mentioned, this is a psychological technique. With the correct study and performance you will blow people's minds, it's not for everyone... Is it for you?

- Andrew Mayne (Ghost Vision, Third Eye, Social Distortion)
"This is insanely awesome. It's something that's so simple you'll smack yourself for not thinking of it. I will definitely be using this."

ANATE Reviews
"I have worked for years to be able to place a single card face down on a table and have the spectator name it and never hit the nail on the head. Dee took a sledge hammer and forced the nail right though the wood with this one. This is the most stunning mental effect I do and the best mental release of 2009!"
- Alan Rorrison (Fingers of Fury, Digital Divination, Sigillum Diaboli)
"I've been using Anate for about two weeks now among friends, and co-workers and I must say that when this effect is done properly; it slays. No card indexes, no setups and the most bare bones blazing subtle force I've ever used create a spellbinding moment that has left my audiences grasping for comment. Simply brilliant!"
- Wayne Phelps (Masters of Illusion)
"ANATE is, in my eyes, the most devious piece of subterfuge Dee has released. Do yourself a favour, get this before everybody else does, and be truly amazing!"
- Chris Lafferty (Freezer Burn, Attack, UVT)
NOW WITH ANATE EXTENDED This extended and additional ebook represents a milestone in the development of the original technique. Since the first release, ANATE has become an incredibly popular tool, much more so than anyone ever imagined it would!
THIS ANATE EXTENDED VERSION contains a supplement ebook to the original ebook which contains more outs, applications, strengthening techniques, practice suggestions, and routines from Titanas, Lloyd Barnes, Chris Lafferty, Steven Dylan Palmer and of course Dee Christopher.
Effects List:
Broken Watch - DC and Titanas
The magician proves that he knew the outcome of a 1 in 10 choice of cups on the table by placing an object inside - 100% hit rate. Think "Smash and Grab" with the fear but without the real danger. You cannot miss with this one, no matter what.
PsychoLogic - Steven Palmer
Steven's ANATE routine - A fantastic take on the original effect
A(nate)CR - Chris Lafftery
A magician's routine for the ANATE force comprising a thought of card appearance and a prediction all wrapped up in an ACR!
Thought Of Card Under Watch - Lloyd Barnes
A thought of card appears under the spectator's watch! No, the spectator is not in on it, and is entirely blown away. Can be performed one on one.
Bank Night - Titanas
A GREAT practice routine for ANATE - You can work with 100% hit rate or go ultra clean using just the ANATE force!
Plagued (Anate Stigmatisms) - DC
A spectator's handprint BURNS onto your flesh, and in the middle is a thought of number! Similar in effect to an inverted Stigmata routine, but different, while just as organic in methodology! (This is Dee's FAVORITE effect in the book!)
The PDF is jam packed with crazy material to take your ANATE use to the next level, detailing never before noted techniques, scripting additions, ways to cancel the thought of the experiment ever happening if you miss and even a brand new linguistic force that you can use in place of ANATE or along side to strengthen the original force!
ANATE: EXTENDED... Reviews:
"The extended version of Anate is diabolical. The new additions are strong and give you the highest succes rate possible. All the routines are well thought out and provide you a unique approach to the basic concept of ANATE. Awesome job Dee!"
- Martin Adams (Succubus, Mystra Deck)
"Wonderful! This rounds out the idea taking it to a whole new level. Congratulations!"
- Ben Harris (Cosmosis, Enlightenment, Crossroads)
"This is an excellent supplement! I love the Anate concept; simple, devious and really strong. Like any psychological force, it isn't going to hit every time but this manuscript is overflowing with alternative directions to take it on those rare occasions. This, for me, is what mentalism is all about; beautiful."
- Jack Curtis (Professional Mentalist and creator of DVP)
"................" (speechless)
- Eric Ross (Canfuse, Infinity Bend, Election)

THIS IS THE STUFF THAT SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE IT IS TOO CLEAN AND DIRECT FOR ANY TRICKERY. The secret is actual influence and you won't believe it even after you read it...until you begin performing it for others! Then you won't believe you ever wanted to work hard doing anything else!
Open your mind to the possibilities and new expansions in...ANATE ULTIMATE EDITION.
