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.
