Daniel Madison Masterclass – Week 2(VIP)

 

Daniel Madison - Masterclass Week One - Magic Tricks

Few magicians are as influential and polarizing as Daniel Madison. He’s never been afraid to push the boundaries of magic, seamlessly blending traditional techniques with elements of psychological manipulation and storytelling to create immersive and memorable experiences for every audience.

Regardless of what you think about his style of performing, there is one fact that is simply undeniable. Daniel has hardcore sleight-of-hand chops. Cutting his teeth in the underground world of card cheating meant there was no room for error when learning card moves. So, he worked his way to becoming one of the best card handlers in the world because there was simply no other option.

The “Daniel Madison Masterclass” is a rare opportunity to dive into the mind of this enigmatic performer. Across 3+ hours of incredible lectures, you’ll not only learn the intricacies of many incredible moves and tricks but will also get an exclusive look at this thought process. The opportunity to peek inside the brain of a true innovator in the field is invaluable for any magician, regardless of skill level.

Taking place throughout December, the “Daniel Madison Masterclass" is broken up into two full length lectures plus a live Q&A on Zoom in Week 3. All three sessions are available for one price. Or you can save 30% instantly by subscribing to Masterclass Monthly.

Session 2 - December 10, 2023 (4pm ET | NYC Time)

In this second session titled “Repertoire”, Daniel will discuss how he approaches magic before sharing his most beloved, go-to effects. You’ll get a firsthand look at the little details he obsesses over and learn a bunch of workers that can go right into your set.

Advocate
Daniel Madison’s “Advocate” is widely considered to be one of the best full-deck pocket indexes ever created. It’s a lightning-fast utility with endless uses. You’ll not only learn how to make your own in just a few minutes but will take a deep dive into how to get the most out of it. This includes stunning new effects, as well as ways the “Advocate” can improve effects you already do. A named card variation of the “Heritage” effect you learned in Week 1 is a definite standout here.

It’s a truly one-of-a-kind experience watching someone discuss something that they’ve genuinely performed thousands of times. Given how the “Advocate” tutorial sells for $25 on its own, it is an absolute steal that it’s included in this Masterclass.

Two-Card Transposition
As with every effect Daniel Madison gets his hands on, this two-card transpo is different than other typical versions of the effect. It feels like there are only two cards involved and, since the deck is put away, the whole routine seems fairer. To the audience, it’s as if you eliminated any possibility of sleight of hand. Includes a variation of David WIlliamson’s "Torn And Restored Transposition".

Turnover Switch
A practical and deceptive way of switching and copping a card in one smooth motion.

Impossible Card to Pocket
By integrating the “Turnover Switch”, you can have the card in your pocket before your helper even loses it in the deck. Since you'll also complete a full deck switch along the way, you'll be perfectly set up for a jaw-dropping finale.

Card in Box
A bold, but deceptive way to load a chosen card into a card box.

Session 1 - December 3, 2023 (4pm ET | NYC Time)

The first session—“The Card Table”—is a collection of incredible card effects and moves. It features both brand-new content, as well as updates to classic effects, including the routine he performed on Penn & Teller: Fool Us.

Heritage
A new approach to a favorite effect that is being shared for the first time. The spectator finds a winning card under impossibly fair conditions. You’ll learn both Daniel’s preferred method as well an easier handling designed for all situations.

The Scott Tribute
Daniel explains his Fool Us routine, as well as the updates that make the routine more deceptive than ever. You’ll discover how to deal a poker hand (of your choice) from a genuinely shuffled deck. While the method will take some time to learn at first, it is surprisingly practical.

Tyrant
Any named playing card appears in an impossible location. If you don’t use an index, you will definitely want to after seeing this (and, lucky for you, Daniel teaches you how to make one in Week 2). Those who already use an index will find their mind exploding with creative ideas.

The Moves
It’s a true treat to watch a master sleight of hand artist at work as he teaches you a variety of super versatile card moves.

  • Mad Switch: A beautifully choreographed, deceptive switch of a single card, or even a full deck
  • Gambler’s Cop: This is a must-know move and few people are better equipped to teach it to you than Daniel Madsion
  • The Bottom Deal: Daniel has helped countless magicians learn, or improve their ability, to execute bottom deals and now he’s ready to help you tackle the vital sleight (including an unbelievably deceptive throw-off technique that makes it essentially invisible)
  • The Greek Deal: An underutilized gem that you’ll wish you learned sooner

Mat L’Anoire – Nevermind(VIP)

Nevermind by Mat L’Anoire

"When I first read 'Scribble' I had a huge smile on my face for the entire time I was reading it. I've just spent the past half an hour trying it out and an even bigger smile appeared! So cleverly constructed, it's a creation of genius!" - Iain Moran

STRANGER
Mat's 'Invisible Deck with a regular deck' opener. A cased deck of cards is placed on the table. A spectator names any card - a completely free choice. The deck is removed from the case and the named card is shown to have been impossibly predicted ahead of time.

COIN CON
Mat's 'take everywhere' coin effect. Four different coins are laid on the table along with a small envelope; one of the coins has a duplicate inside. You mentally influence the spectator to correctly divine which coin is in the envelope...without equivoque!

CAANABLE
Mat's take on the legendary 'ACAAN' effect! The spectator names a number between 1 & 52. A deck is then ribbon spread across the table and the spectator is asked to think of ANY card. The card is removed by the spectator, sight unseen, and the spectator shuffles it back into the pack themselves. The spectator then deals to his freely chosen number and finds his freely thought of card!

"CAANABLE is an ACAAN effect and probably my favorite of the group. It uses a gaffed deck but is easily constructed and very easy to perform...My next favorite is 'Scribble'. Watch the demo! Excellent thinking and concise handling. Very deceptive...I consider this excellent value for the small asking price! Get it!" - Doug Canning

SCRIBBLE
Mat's ludicrously devious 'thought of card' routine. Any card is thought of and written down on a spare advertising card. That card is then left protruding from the deck, on the table in full view the entire time. You then claim you will divine the thought of card by examining the spectator's body language. This having been done, you remove one card from the deck - it is the spectators thought of card!

"Nevermind is a refreshing treat. 'Scribble' is wild!" - Ben Harris

"I agree with Benny Harris, 'Scribble' IS excellent!" - Mark Elsdon

ISOLATION
Mat's incredible serial number divination! You turn your back while a spectator removes their own bank note, folds it up with the serial number inside and secures it with a paper clip. This is then dropped inside an impromptu 'isolation chamber' and held by the spectator. You then proceed to divine the serial number. The spectator themselves removes the bill, unfolds it and verifies the complete accuracy of your divination.

"Some very clever ideas and methods. I especially liked the 'Isolation' gimmick which can be used for other types of switches such as billets and folded cards. It opens up a lot of possibilities." - Greg Arce

How to Read Minds 2 Kit Ellusionist x Peter Turner(VIP)

Project Updates for How To Read Minds KIT: Ellusionist x Peter Turner on  BackerKit Page 1

The How to Read Minds 2 Kit is a collaboration between magic store Ellusionist and magic master Peter Turner that will teach anyone how to command a room. Silence skeptics. Wow friends and family. Stun Karen so hard she demands the manager tell her how you did it...and then makes you sign a nondisclosure so no one ever finds out what she was thinking.

An all-new edition to their original How to Read Minds partnership, the How to Read Minds 2 Kit brings mentalism to the masses with the same techniques, but different approaches. You do not have to own or have learned the skills taught in the first edition to master, or gift, number 2 (though you can purchase both together at a major discount during the How to Read Minds 2 Kickstarter campaign.)

Sample nuggets of mental magic you'll make your own in the How to Read Minds 2 Kit include:

  • Know the exact song someone is thinking of, regardless of its obscurity.
  • Win any game of heads up, charades, or 20 questions, without your target ever saying a word.
  • Play Russian roulette with real money and real fire, and yours will never get burned.
  • Reveal which hand an invisible coin is hidden in, multiple times in a row. Then tell the holder the exact coin they imagined and the date engraved on it.
  • Play a game of "Yes / No" and influence the subject's choices every time.
  • Predict the insect someone is thinking of and watch them have a conniption as it appears on their hand.

The How to Read Minds 2 Kit is available to Kickstarter backers through December 15, 2022. Click here to check it out and pledge for yours.

Chaos Project Chapter 10 by Dani DaOrtiz (VIP)

Chapter Ten of The Chaos Project is an amazing thought of card location. This looks like pure magic. The material taught in this routine will give you an incredible amount of control over the apparently random decisions of your audience. Welcome to The Chaos Project with Dani DaOrtiz.

The What:
This unbelievable thought of card revelation makes your audience feel like they have control. The magician shuffles the deck and then has audience members grab handfuls of cards from the deck and shuffle these packets. The deck is reassembled, and a spectator thinks of any card from the packet they are holding. Audience members take turns removing cards from the deck, with the person thinking of a card checking each packet and confirming that their card is not among them. This continues until there is only one card left. The person thinking of their card gets to make the final choice of what the last card is. This person then names their card, and impossibly when the only remaining card is turned over, it is exactly the one they are merely thinking of.

The How:
As soon as you have seen the trick, Dani immediately teaches you the core mechanics of the trick so you can start practicing. To simply tell you that this is a force is to tell you that a rainbow is just made of a bit of water. This four-step force is a master class of using chaos to control your audience while giving them the illusion of free will. Before you learn the intimate details of this incredible effect, Dani gives you a masterclass on how to control the choices of ordinary people.

The Why:
In The Why, Dani shares with you the true secrets of chaos. Not only do you get an in-depth tutorial on the effect, but you also get the details on the theories that Dani uses to make this trick really sing. Dani takes you through the philosophy and thought process that has made him an award-winning magical theoretician. Dani walks you through the intricate details of timing and makes your audience feel as though your carefully choreographed actions are spur of the moment. In addition to the original version of the effect that uses an easily accessible gimmick, Dani shares with you an incredible version that uses no gimmicks at all.

The Chaos Project is a year-long course in learning some of the most devious methods and principles that make the magic of Dani DaOrtiz so deceptive. The tenth lesson teaches you how to make a force not only fly under the radar, but feel like every idea and choice was that of your audience. Embrace the chaos with Dani DaOrtiz in Chapter 9 of The Chaos Project.
