Some were created especially for this book, others have been part of my repertoire for years, but all were designed with one idea in mind: to surprise, inspire and touch the spectator, by triumphing over their logic during a real duel. For this, nothing better than using strong, visual and carefully constructed effects. You will also discover some tests. Three of them come from other lost projects, brought together here and thus completing a work that I hope you will take as much pleasure in reading as I had in designing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfooter class=\"blockquote-footer\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ccite\u003eDani DaOrtiz\u003c\/cite\u003e\u003c\/footer\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSummary:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForeword (Asi Wind)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSome thoughts on the choice of the magician (Essay)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCutting The Aces Or Not\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLittle Seven\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOut Of This World\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorking like at home (Test)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpectations (Essay)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTriumph In The Spectator’s Hands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTriple Prediction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproved One-Ahead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe third time (Trial)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSome thoughts on choosing the magician:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe essay on the principle of equivocation takes up certain ideas from Dani and extends the reflections on methods to create an illusion of total freedom among spectators.

For one, he chooses a value; for another, it tells you when to stop while you deal the cards on the table; for another, the spectator cuts the deck himself... and despite all this, when the top card of each packet is revealed, it is the four aces!

I love Paul Curry's creation and the many versions that resulted from it. No matter how this effect is achieved, the final reveal is always incredibly strong! Like all my versions of \"Out Of This World\", this one has only one \"constraint\": to be able to be presented in only two piles, in order to remain faithful to the original idea posed by Hofzinser as a cartomagic problem. In this version, I use a subtle detail that plays with the viewer's perception and prepares the packet exchange.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWork like at home\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere Dani presents the concept of “working like at home”: how to create ideal and consistent conditions to best present your magic, whatever the conditions. By mastering the environment and details of the show, you will learn to gain naturalness, confidence and artistic impact thanks to Dani's valuable advice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExpectations\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this essay, Dani challenges the idea that magic must rely solely on surprise, showing that announcing an effect can reinforce dramatic tension and magical impact with examples that will make you want to try it yourself. How can we understand, manipulate and exceed the viewer's expectations to create a stronger and more memorable experience? Come check it out!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTriumph In The Spectator’s Hands\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePassionate about the effects of “Triomphe”, here is one version among the many that I have developed. It takes place entirely in the hands of the viewer. The magician doesn't touch anything—the spectator does everything—and yet the cards shuffled face up and face down all end up facing the same way in the end. It can obviously be presented to a lay public, but it was originally designed to be shown to magicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTriple Prediction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is an unusual and subtle effect. You place three cards aside as a \"triple prediction\", then each spectator chooses a card and puts it back into the deck. The spectators name their selection. The deck is spread face up, the three cards are no longer in the deck. The three predictions are turned over, these are the cards chosen. The tour requires no preparation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImproved One-Ahead\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI'm discussing for the first time this tool that we will use to complete a classic \"time ahead\" routine, which generally suffers from the fact that the last (forced) selection does not appear as free as the previous ones. The effect is classic. The spectator holds the game, the magician has another. The magician and the spectator take turns placing a card face down on the table until they each have three. When turned over, the cards match perfectly. This version—you apparently don't know the cards the spectator chose—will fool anyone even familiar with the basic concept. She will even bluff magicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe third time\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRepetition increases attention and intensity, as shown in advertising, scenes or running gags. Whether it is a magical effect, a joke or a recurring phrase, each repetition reinforces the impact according to the given intention. But this intensification has a limit: beyond three repetitions, the effect no longer adds much. Three seems like the ideal number; four is already becoming excessive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe three points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this very rich essay, Dani explains the principle of the \"Rule of Three\", how the number three allows you to structure a trick, a statement and how to use techniques differently so as not to attract attention and to make your magic more natural. Take notes, this essay is like the others: very inspiring!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBook Features:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBook in French (Translation by Richard Cauche)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumbered edition limited to 400 copies.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize 16 x 16 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e112 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardcover book\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFabric cover with gilding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThe pros’ opinion:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cblockquote class=\"blockquote avis_pro\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"citation\"\u003eWe are very lucky to have Dani share her journey with us. He doesn't keep anything for himself. In this book, that's what he does again. He shares with us six new wonders. As you already know, the Tricks by Dani are so well thought out that they fool even the initiated, and it's not because he uses particularly difficult techniques. The Tricks are misleading because they are put together with great care; every action has meaning, and nothing is superfluous. He extracts the essentials from each element to create a miracle. This is what gives his magic an impression of great ease. Once you have learned the Tricks of this book and you have enjoyed presenting them to your viewers, come back to this work and pay more attention to the structures developed by Dani. Now it's your turn. Turn the page and start discovering powerful magic. Or not… It’s your life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfooter class=\"blockquote-footer\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ccite\u003eAsi Wind\u003c\/cite\u003e\u003c\/footer\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Dani DaOrtiz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53356199018832,"sku":"HBM-SIX_MDT","price":125.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0419\/0938\/7428\/files\/Captured_ecran2026-08-04a00.00.13.png?v=1785794456","url":"https:\/\/magicdream.fr\/en\/products\/six-dani-da-ortiz-version-francaise-edition-limitee","provider":"Magic Dream","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
