My seventh Danny purchase, starting with the ACAAN and Force Card projects. This is my fourth
Borrowed Deck series purchase, which means I have bought every effect in this series so far. I
promise myself not to buy anymore effects as I have too much magic, but I just can't help myself
with Danny Daortiz, the master toreador of the uniquely Danny style of card magic that dispenses
with so many of the principles of magic with playing cards. I intend to perform 52 to 1 because no
special cards or difficult card skills are needed. Like most of these Danny effects, one needs to be
seated at a table and with an audience of two or more people.
I thought I knew how 52 to 1 works
from watching the performance and, while I was on the right track, the precise method was
sufficiently different to confirm that I had indeed made a really good purchase.
Just one thing
is unclear: at 22minutes and 20 seconds, it seems possible that the spectator will choose the final
selection too early and this moment is deserving of more in depth explanation.
This card reveal
effect is brilliant. It is a bit lengthy, but not likely to be a problem if the performer can sell
his personality during the performance.
