Taking a borrowed deck and performing true miracles is one of Dani DaOrtiz’s most powerful weapons. His card work is legendary, and now he is sharing some of his most closely guarded routines with you in The Borrowed Deck Project. A year-long course featuring incredible routines, concepts, theories, and philosophies that allow you to take any deck of cards presented to you and perform real magic. In Chapter Eight, a named card is spelled by a spectator in an impossible revelation

1. A borrowed deck of cards is shuffled, and then a random card is named.
2. The performer spells the named card, a single card for each letter, and the named card is discovered as the final card in the spelling!
3. Another spectator is asked to think of a card. The deck is handed out again to be
shuffled by the audience.
4. The spectator who is thinking of a card spells their card from the shuffled deck. Impossibly, the card they are thinking of is at the location they spelled to!

This trick is jaw-dropping in its simplicity and its power. In addition to learning how to perform the effect, you’ll learn Dani’s award-winning theory. Dani’s Punctuation Symbols is a language to communicate your magic with your audience. Dani takes the common punctuation we learn in elementary school and uses it to help you understand the best ways to structure your magic. The effect itself is child’s play to perform. If you can spell, you can perform this effect. The deck doesn’t even need to be complete for the trick to work!

The Borrowed Deck Project is must-watch material for anyone who wants to look like a real pro with cards. The effects are simple in concept but mind-blowing in execution. You’ll learn great tricks and become privy to Dani’s FISM award-winning theories in card magic. School is in session, and you don’t even need to supply your own deck because any deck in the world can now make you look like an expert at the card table when you study Chapter Eight of The Borrowed Deck Project by Dani Daortiz.

this genius hasn't decided to use his powers to rob banks. Because he'd have all the money. . . The method here is exceptionally clever, his explanation is both lucid and entertaining. Dani is a man of uncommon gifts and boggling creativity. I really enjoyed this and can't wait to use it.

This is an ingenious principle in spelling to a thought of card.

I think the best part of this purchase is actually observing Dani ‘out of character’ explaining the psychology of the two tricks he combines BEFORE he even gets to this particular explanation. I have always felt his work was too advanced for me but this explanation is soooo helpful. “Chaos is not confusion” (!!!)
I also think English being his second language gives us a really insightful take on how critical the punctuation we are communicating is to managing the set up and payoff of not just this effect, but any card trick. This is one of the magicians I would most like to meet in person and away from the stage. Fantastic job and absolutely worth the investment.
This video is sort of like hanging out with the smartest person you know, and you just think about everything they said for days afterward…..
Many thanks, Dani!

It’s incredible how he takes his own concepts, gives them a twist, and creates something completely new. He’s a genius.
