## What is ACAAN Trainer?

Acaan Trainer forms part of a comprehensive suite of apps that dedicate to technical learning tools for close-up magicians. Acaan Trainer addresses those who are familiar with the concepts related to Aronson, Tamariz, Nikolas in general, and the Acaan plot in specific. If you know what these names relate to, and you apply the according techniques, then this app will help you stay tuned and inspired. 

A radical slim design. 

Cycle through the logical phases of the challenges at hand. Name it the "virtual spectator" concept.

Approaches:
- the classic approach. For details, among others, refer to "Sinfonía en m mayor" by J. Tamariz, Editorial Frakson, 2000
- an approach according to Alain Nu's "Any Card". For details refer to Alain Nu, "Any Card", Alain Nu 2001

Some Features:
- Aronson, Tamariz and three user defined ones
- display and whisper modes
- includes the quick-touch interactive analyser visualising the solution path and allowing for self imposed problem statements. Decadic and tridecadic layouts
- feedback driven development
- feels almost like a true deck of cards. Practicing card magic you don't want no complicated, overloaded and distracting user interface. Less is more. 
- probably the most complete, and straightforward solution available.

A card, a number, think, act, check, and again.
Swipe, swipe, think, verify. Swipe, and again.

Total waste of time which is sad because it’s a good concept for working on stacks and other card effects.

### 4/5 — App works well for ACAAN

*2016-12-02*

App works well. To change most settings on the app, go to the settings menu on your phone and change the settings from there.
