The Very Magical Stupid Thing (That fools everyone)
Semi-Automatic Weapons Chapter 4:


In the fourth lesson of The Semi-Automatic Weapons project, Dani shares with you an insane trick where the magician appears to know everything. A deck is shuffled, and the spectator cuts off a small packet of cards. They count how many cards are in their packet under the table. The magician shows the spectator cards from the deck, and to remember the card at the position equal to the number of the cards in the packet they cut off the deck. Suddenly the magician shouts out the number of the cards in the packet the spectator is holding and the name of their card. More impossibly, the trick is instantly repeatable under increasingly impossible conditions. Dani is joined in this lesson by some of his closest friends and students for a session on the incredible principle at play in this Semi-Automatic Miracle.

This lesson, about a half-hour in length, includes an astonishing trick that is powerful by itself. The principles involved in this trick give you the ability to know a card that is merely thought of. Key takeaways for the student include:

The Clock Force
A classic trick from Spain forms the basis of this incredible effect. Dani starts you at the beginning of his journey to this incredible principle with The Clock Force. This fascinating force allows you to force a particular card from a spectator simply cutting the deck.

Known Position
Knowing the identity of a card at a particular position is a powerful weapon for the card magician. Dani shares with you his method of controlling a key card to a specific position with casual energy that deceives even the most observant spectator.

The Mental Reverse
Adding this technique to Dani’s exquisite work on The Clock Force puts a true miracle into your hand. This is a simple mental task that will give you the ability to know a card that is merely thought of by your audience. Dani might call the trick a very magical stupid little thing, but it’s a piece of incredibly powerful mental magic that will make your audience question if you are from this world.

Lesson Four of The Semi-Automatic Weapons Project continues this comprehensive course in Dani’s thoughts with an impossible piece of card magic your audiences will never forget. This one is not only useful, but it’s also a magician fooler. In addition to Dani’s clever variation on The Clock Force, you’ll learn clever peeks and card positions to apply to all of your magic. You are about to 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 fourth lesson of The Semi-Automatic Weapons Project.

A very nice trick for groups of people Report this review

The trick in and of itself is easy to do with decent practice. The hardest part,as is with most self working tricks of this caliber, you just need to remember the method. All around good trick as well as the method wich can also be put to good use elsewhere.

Poor explanation Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 23rd, 2022
As someone else who bought this remarked, "can't they get someone else to explain this". I've now given up with Dani's magic just because he gets so excited about the method that you can't understand what he's on about. This is one such trick, which should be easy to understand, but isn't.

Great trick, but not as easy as people are saying Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 9th, 2022
This trick does not require difficult sleight of hand. That does not mean it is easy. You have to be able to get a peak, you have to be able to run cards in an overhand shuffle, and you have to do all this and keep the whole thing moving if you want it to be entertaining. In addition, because he changes the method slightly each time, you have to remember the overall process.

It is not hard technically and Dani does a great job teaching you what you need to know. But don't think you can just watch the video and do this. It will take some practice to get comfortable to do this well.

Typically Dani takes an old principle to a new level and fools even magicians. Not difficult. Completely impromptu. Best with a group.

Great fun Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 14th, 2022
Taking a proven system to higher levels. Loved the applications, loved the teaching and love the potential for this stupid thing. The ability to throw this in anywhere in a routine with a borrowed deck makes it invaluable. The ability to use this for a large group is also a big plus over effects limited to small groups.

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 14th, 2022
I love Very Magical Stupid Thing very much and the various approaches to the self working of the tricks makes them simple to do with little or no setting up. Dani explains the different approaches well and entertainingly. I have used the ideas and different approaches and they have been well received.

Dani's lesson jam packed! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 23rd, 2022
This lesson is jam-packed with terrific info and lessons. Yes the effect is short and fast, but Dani reviews 3 different strategies that make this one extra magical and all these strategies can easily be applied to other effects to take them to an 11. This is anything but stupid - smart, clever, well planned -- the best in this series so far IMO. A million thanks to Dani!
