Semi-Automatic Weapons Chapter 1: Lie Detector

In the first lesson of the Semi-Automatic Weapons Project Dani starts off with an incredible effect that turns you into a human lie-detector. The deck is offered to a spectator to hold. The magician turns away and has another spectator cover their eyes. While their eyes are covered the spectator shuffles the deck. They are then instructed to deal the cards one at a time face up onto the table and say the identity of the cards out loud. As they deal they are allowed to lie about the identity of their selected card.

The moment the spectator lies the magician somehow knows, and interjects that the audience member has told them the wrong card.

This lesson, an hour in length, includes an amazing trick that gives the magician the ability to be a human lie detector.

Lesson One of The Semi-Automatic Weapons Project kicks things off with a wildly powerful trick and the mind-expanding principles behind it. This is a trick that is going straight into your repertoire. In addition, you’ll become privy to the secrets that make the magic of Dani DaOrtiz so disarmingly devastating. It’s time to go to school with Dani DaOrtiz in the first lesson of The Semi-Automatic Weapons Project.

I almost took off 1 star because this video should be shipped with an additional item--a roll of duck tape to keep your head from exploding from all the information and ideas jammed into this lecture! I use that term for a reason, this is NOT just a "trick" demo and explanation, this is chock full of valuable, insightful advice on how card magic can and should be presented.

I have been fortunate enough to see Dani in person so I thought this video would be good. I was wrong, it is great!!I bought the whole series and look forward to the next chapter!

Valuable Lessons ... but Lie Detector not 100% Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 17th, 2022
If the video download was just a lesson on the "Lie Detector", I would rank the download at 3 stars at best. However, there is over an hour of teaching and other tricks with only about ten minutes specific to the "Lie Detector" method.

The Lie Detector method is not 100%. The method really comes down to how well the cards are shuffled during the trick. A poor shuffle will at best ruin the trick and worse expose the trick for all to see. There are additional steps to reduce the risk, but I don't think the trick alone was worth it because your success is literally in the hands of others. The trick could play very well, but it could also fail miserably. There is also setup involved.

Now there is so much information provided in the video, I am increasing my ranking by one star to four stars for the additional bonus material. Dani does provide some very good lessons and even other tricks (maybe four or so). Dani provides the lessons in both English and Spanish, be sure to click on the right video.

Beware novice magicians! Report this review

I am writing this review as a beginning magician. This trick is described as “semi-automatic “, but it really isn’t. The trick involves some significant card manipulation, which Mr. Ortiz handles ridiculously fast, but is way beyond what I can handle. My major complaint is with the video instructions. The lengthy video goes into great detail about the theory behind this type of card manipulation, but does not include a step by step walkthrough of the trick itself. Also, Mr. Ortiz speaks very quickly, and has a very heavy accent, the combination of which makes the video very hard to understand. I have purchased several tricks that I am very happy with, but I regret buying this one.

I love Danny Ortiz. His enthusiasm comes straight from the heart and though he may seem, well, verbose by any common standard, he is relentless in his quest to help you Peirce through the veil of simple instructions, and to learn the layer beneath the surface. He is exhaustive, covering every nuance and possibility at every turn. Hook line and sinker. I swear it to be true cross my heart. I enjoyed this video and am quickly on to the rest.

Very good trick, can be done with a borrowed deck. Also, very well instructed, with lots of additional ideas. Definitely into my toolbox.
