I got this set years ago. Learned all that I could and included much into my own sets, despite
having a completely different approach. Whereas I am much more "orthodox" in style, I have often
taken even some of his closers as between effect miracles. Those moments when the crowd think
nothing is happening, THAT is where Dani excels, because EVERYTHING is happening in those moments. I
decided to review this set again, because just as we miss small things here and there while reading
a book, so too do we miss small nuggets when watching something. I see Dani has changed a few
methods here and there (just slight changes) in his more modern performances of the same effects
(i.e. he counts cards and has spec stop him on his first effect on disc 1, whereas on his fool us
performance he has the spectator count the cards by themselves), which is awesome to see growth.
The psychology taught here is reason enough for any beginner to get this set as their
foundation. I often wish these were MY first introductions into the close up world. It creates a
completely different mindset in how to approach, construct and carry out new AND traditional
effects.
His effects and style definitely have stood the test of time thus far. And let's
be honest, we all recognize a great when we see it so odds are 10 years from now will be the same
type of review.
