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. Chapter Nine features an insane double card at number that has to be seen to be believed.

Here’s what happens:

1. Any deck can be borrowed. It is handed out to the audience in packets to be shuffled.

2. One person remembers a card from their packet and then half the deck is reassembled, and this spectator puts their finger on the packet to make sure it stays untouched.

3. The magician has another spectator remember a card from the other half of the deck, which is then shuffled.

4. From the second packet, the audience member removes any two cards they want.

5. The values of these two cards are added together, and from the respective packets, each spectator deals down that exact number of cards.

6. Impossibly, the thought of cards is at the exact same position in each packet.

The Two Cards has been apart of Dani’s repertoire for decades. It’s a stunning effect that gets the entire audience involved. A key component of this lesson is learning to think ahead and set up your next trick while performing another effect. This is a rarely talked about skill that Dani methodically walks you through so that you can elevate your card magic. He also takes you through some bonus sleights like The Hoffzinser Spread Cull, The Ireland Shuffle, and multiple methods of forcing all with that special Dani touch.

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 Nine of The Borrowed Deck Project by Dani Daortiz.
