So if you are into card magic this is a really great resource. It is definitely for advanced
magicians. Some of the methods are very dependent on Dani's character and attitude.
There
is something for most including one effect that is virtually self working. Most of the magic can be
performed with little to no set up. There may be some advanced shuffle preparations or culls but
nothing too advanced with the exception of one effect. You do need an easy to make gimmicked deck
for Out of This Suit. That's why I knocked off a star.

I was desapointed with this video. There is no energy and no real nouvelty if you know Dani's work.
For the same price, his lectures are far far more interesting : energy, theory, tricks, public
managment, etc...Go for his lectures, you'll have much more.

This is everything you would expect from Dani DaOrtiz...not technically difficult effects, lots of
laugh, great explanations and real magic...what more would you want :) :)

Dani Da Ortiz is an outstanding performer. The lecture provides insight into some very valuable
psychological principles which can be applied to most card routines. As he states in the lecture,
you need to tailor or fit the technique to your personality and performance style.

Art is a vehicle of expression and magic is no different. This is where authenticity shows the most,
and Dani is 100% authentic.
You will see his own style and personality coming out of his
technique, plots and subtleties. His misdirections (both mental and physical) are devastating. His
impromptu air is perfect to lower everyones defenses, and his casual style makes almost impossible
to even imagine how every gesture is perfectly time.
If you can adapt these tricks, techniques
and concepts to your own magic, this is a steal and your magic will soar.
If you prefer to copy
tricks, that's impossible with Dani (and that's why I don't rate it with 5 stars).

Really good video. The only reason I give a 4 is because a lot of the effect are similar to other
ones from the live 1-2-3 so if you saw those you might feel it’s a little bit repetitive ,but in my
opinion still worth it.
I would say that these are not for complete beginner too, even if
daortiz keep saying it’s easy, some move required a LOT of practice and confidence, and if you
cannot do a classic force,this will be the perfect opportunity to practice!
Very interesting,
Simple running routines but very visual impact

You can perform all of these effects with a borrowed deck, which is awesome! I would perform most of
these for magician friends, but some of the effects are a little long. I think the average spectator
would lose interest. Don't get me wrong, I love this material. Killer effects! Definitely
recommended.
While the magic is great (I'll be using a couple of routines), the real value is studying Dani's
thinking. He has insights into handling cards that will take your other routines from so-so to
fantastic. Dani thinks like a real master of sleight-of-hand psychology and this download has lots
of it.
