Magic download (video) by Dani DaOrtiz (19.95 - normally $39.95)

Take control of their memory and transform it into your most powerful weapon with “Blank Spaces” by Dani DaOrtiz.

This revolutionary two-hour download teaches you everything you need to create a sense of real magic that’s impossible to backtrack. These points are hammered home with a variety of groundbreaking new tricks you can start performing right away.

You’ll learn how to guide the experience of your audience and ensure they only remember what you want them to. The tricks that put this theory into action all rely on clever construction. There is no difficult sleight of hand required. “Blank Spaces” is perfect for magicians of any skill level.

For many magicians, the highlight of “Blank Spaces” is undoubtedly going to be Dani’s revolutionary “Blackout Theory”. You’ll learn how to control their focus so intently, they won’t be able to recognize or remember anything else. We won’t spoil how Dani proves this, but can promise you’ll be a believer in the “Blackout Theory” after seeing it in action.

Some of the many topics discussed include:

  • Manufacturing and guiding expectations
  • Closing doors & destroying patterns
  • Making the unnatural feel natural
  • Organizing chaos
  • Creating and controlling false memories
  • Using punctuation to capture attention
  • Preventing short-term memories from becoming long-term ones
  • And so much more

Some of the amazing routines you’ll enjoy include:

One Second Blackout
A normal deck is fairly shuffled. With your head turned, you start dealing cards to the table. They reach in and grab a card whenever they’d like (no forces or difficult timing procedures). This card is then lost in the deck. Despite these impossible conditions, you’re still able to find their card. The best part? It’s totally impromptu and uses a genuine beginner-level principle in a way that’s so clever that it will fool your most experienced magician friends. You can even use a borrowed deck.

On the Fly ACAAN
Two decks are shuffled. One participant chooses a card from one deck. The other participant then splits their deck into two halves. The top two cards of that deck are turned over and added together to reach a number. The first participant’s card is then found at that number in their deck. No preparation or stack work is required.

No Touch ACAAN
You write a prediction as they fairly mix a block of cards. They then select a card and mix the packet further under the table before dealing the cards into some piles in any order. These piles are then stacked in any order they want. Your prediction is opened to reveal a number. Despite all the choices they made, their card is at that number. This is a masterclass in controlling memory.

Semi-Automatic Open Prediction
You place a card in the box as a prediction. They then think of a card from the deck. Without any sleight of hand, sticky cards, or even any gimmicks at all, that card completely vanishes. You spread the deck face up, it really isn’t there. You open the box and show their card is inside.

Falling
Dani updates one of his all-time classics to take full advantage of the Blackout Theory. They’re given a deck and invited to mix it under the table before removing three cards and placing them face up in the middle. The whole deck is then placed in the box. After dropping the box a few times, you’re able to tell which cards are turned over. This is a deviously simple effect that is essentially impossible to backtrack, thanks to Dani’s brilliant construction.

Customer reviews for Blank Spaces

Reviewer

Scott

I am a huge fan of Dani and his work, and I’ve been working on a number of these principles for a long time. This is the clearest, most organized, direct explanation of many of the key concepts that power his style of magic that he has put out. The tricks in here are amazing, of course, but the wealth of knowledge and the powerful theoretical tools that are covered in this video are so incredible, I can’t believe the cost of this download. In addition to performing these routines, I am excited to work through my repertoire and apply these concepts to my existing tricks to increase the impact and impossibility of each one. Dani has always been an unparalleled thinker, but the beautiful thing for us mortals is the way that he has grown as a teacher. This seminar illustrates the key concepts of his philosophy with clear explanations and useful examples, and the application of these ideas to the effects in the download helps to anchor the concepts in the clearest way possible. This is a video I will keep coming back to for the rest of my career in Magic. Thank you Dani, and thank you VI for bringing this incredible resource to the community!

  • Diego asks: How much of this material is already covered in his Freedom of Expression book and video?

    • 1. Will answers: I’m sitting at the table here and own the freedom of expression book and can say that this is entirely new theory and teachings from Dani… he has of course shared ACAAN methods before, but I would say that the true value here is his tips and psychological theories on managing the audience through the tricks. The tricks that he teaches here are incredible, but are taught to you in order to compliment the theory methods he is sharing which is the true gold. I knew what was happening sitting at the table and still my mind was blown by how his mind works, this is a must have magic teaching from Dani.
    • 2. Giuseppe answers: A lot of what is mentioned is definitely in his penguin live lectures, especially the 2 deck acaan and the last trick described is 100% his effect Or Not, released years ago
