Dani DaOrtiz – Lie Detector (Semi-Automatic Weapons Chapter 1)
In the first lesson of the Semi-Automatic Weapons Project Dani starts off with an incredible effect that looks like absolute chaos but allows you to know the order of the deck as well as if your audience is telling the truth or a lie. 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 then are 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 any of a selected card. The moment the spectator lies the magician interjects that the audience member has told them the wrong card, and impossibley the magician is correct.
This lesson, an hour in length, includes an amazing trick that gives the magician the ability to be a human lie detector. Key takeaways for the student include:
The Sequence
Memorized deck work is one of the most powerful principles in magic. However, locking the order of all 52 cards into your memory can be a daunting task for some magicians. Dani teaches you The Sequence. This is an extremely simplified way to know the order of a deck of cards without marks or deep memory work. If you can count you can harness the power of The Sequence.
Separating Couples
Just knowing The Sequence is effective, but being able to get The Sequence into play undetectably is the same thing as having a superpower. While a magician could use the Hofzinser Spread Cull, which Dani does teach, this is a course on Semi-Automatic Card Magic. Dani teaches you an incredibly effective, and deceptive, method or arranging the deck into The Sequence right under the nose of the spectators. This looks like chaos, but you get a beautiful order.
Controlling & Forcing
Using The Sequence you will be able to control and force cards at will. Your audience will feel like they are in control because they have the ability to cut and shuffle. Thanks to the techniques you will learn, it is actually you who is in charge of the situation. It feels very fair, but these Semi-Automatic techniques give you the reigns of power.
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 to Danil’s incredible insights into The Sequence and secret arrangements, 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.
