What will he teach?

The Tantalizer- A card is selected and returned to the middle. The deck is then dealt in two piles. One of the piles is dealt again and again until there's one card left. It is revealed to be the selection the selection.

Reversed- The deck is shuffled under the table and one card is selected and reversed in the deck. The deck is put back inside the box. All under the table. The magician is able to divinate which card was reversed.

Improvisation- Truly improvised.

ACAAN with 2 Decks- A Card and a number are named. The card appear in that position in a deck that was always inside the box.

In Addition to these incredible effects, Bernardo takes you through the psychology and philosophy that makes his magic so deceptive for magicians and laypeople alike. You will learn the real work that Bernardo has used to fool some of the top minds in magic and produce miracles using some of the boldest techniques available to card magicians today. The entire lecture is capped off with a serious discussion of art and self-discovery, with Bernardo leading you through an examination of your own work that will leave you a better magician no matter where you are in your journey.

Who is he?

Bernardo is considered one of the best magicians in Brazil and has performed and lecture in over 20 countries in 4 continents, also he has been in the most prestigious invitation-only conventions in the world, such as FFFF, Buffalo 52, Numisminds, Jornadas Magicas, Jornadas Cartomagicas de el Escorial (organized by the legend Juan Tamariz), and has also been a guest (and sometimes jury) on conventions like FISM LA, FISM WCM, SAM, The Session, Magifest and many others.
Even performing everywhere, the creator of the best selling "Good Intuition" somehow stayed underground for most magicians, secretly creating hundreds of non-published effects which lead him to consult, give classes and lectures worldwide.

If Dani da Ortiz and Woody Aragon were to have a love child Bernardo would be the result!
I was lucky to see Bernardo on his U.K lecture tour so I already had a good idea of his magic and the way he performs. The full performance is well worth watching but when it came to the explanations I think some of the buyers of this lecture may struggle to fully understand all the concepts and ideas shared in this lecture.
Please be aware that Bernardo his from Brazil so English is not his first language, it mainly came down to the fact that no explanation was totally described fully straight away. Parts were explained and then later he would go back to explain more of the methods and techniques used in performance.

IMO I think that Erik could have/should have handled the way this was taught better than he did. I think in this case Dan Harlan would have done a much better job of the interview.

Having said all that if you have some experience in card magic and like or aspire to the Spanish School of Magic you will gain some useful concepts and ideas/techniques that you can add or think about to your magic.

Shame on You, Penguin 😬 Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 22nd, 2022
Having seen all of Dani DaOrtiz’s PL lectures, I found this painful to watch. Nearly everything that Sedlacek “teaches” seems to be coming straight out of DaOrtiz’s lectures. Not only are many tricks nothing more than poor imitations of DaOrtiz’s material, but even some of the examples used to explain underlying principles are the same! It’s pretty outrageous. I could go on with specific examples, but I don’t want to devote much time to Sedlacek. He shouldn’t be lecturing as he isn’t bringing anything new to the table. I think everything in this lecture is is performed (masterfully) by DaOrtiz and taught with much greater understanding in his Penguin lectures. Sedlacek is an immature magician who hasn’t been taught that you don’t lecture until you’ve something considerably unique and valuable to offer. But as it’s on Penguin to vet their acts, the blame is on them for airing this embarrassing production.

An awsome lesson in psychology Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 23rd, 2022
Bernardo's work is a great way to study the psychology behind magic, he is definitely a son from the spanish magic school but nevertheless his take on theories and the appliance of those concepts goes beyond card magic and get to every branch of magic.

Spanish magic at it’s best Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 22nd, 2022
Wow! This is one of the best lectures I have seen in these last 30 years!

Mr Sedlaseck carefully explains in details all the little things that makes real magic. At all times he’s giving references and recommendations, which are leading me to look up things I didn’t know. Easy (except for the improvisation part), clever, powerful, original (even in Tantalizer he adds some details I have never seen) and interesting magic.

This is a must for anyone who wants to become a better magician!
The good part is that if you don’t like the magic (which I’m sure you will), you can still use many things he teaches in your magic.

It was a little difficult to understand some things as posted in another review, but by rewatching it is very clear now.
I cannot understand how one would rate this one star. Highly recommended!

LOOKING FOR YOUR STYLE Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 27th, 2024
I'm sure Bernardo is a very good magician and has a lot to offer to lay people (and to magicians too), but he would probably be much better being himself and not being a poor copy of Dani Daortiz.

Maybe he has been too much influenced by Dani, and that's not wrong! But he should take that knowledge and explore his own style.

Keep that enthusiasm Bernardo!
As Rene Lavand once said: find your own style!
As I think: You'll be much better!

Applied Spanish concepts = magic Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 24th, 2022
Some concepts taught by Bernardo come from great Spanish magicians, like Tamariz and others. One of the reviewers said that Bernardo stole such concepts and taught improperly. Well, so a move, like a DL can only be taught by its creator? Bernando never said that the concepts were invented by him. He practically every time gives credit to the creators. The value of this lecture is not in the novelty of the concepts but in how they are uniquely assembled into an exceptional magician. Of course, if you've seen 500 Dani DaOrtiz lectures, you probably won't have many new concepts to absorb. However, you will be able to see another magician who uses such concepts in a masterful way.
Lavosier said: "...nothing is created, everything is transformed."
If you want to see Spanish concepts transformed into magic, this is the lecture for you.

Lame Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 30th, 2022
He brings good energy in performance he taught very few tricks. Was mostly theory. He drags on and on. Kinda full of himself. Didn’t perform effects that destroy except when he was jazzing. The other effects had such a long preamble only your family members would sit through it to see where it was going. Tough to watch
