The Force Project: A Year-Long Journey into Card Selection

The Force Project is an immersive year-long course led by the renowned Dani DaOrtiz, focusing on innovative methods for spectators to select cards. Each month introduces a unique selection technique accompanied by a captivating trick for practice. Chapter 11 features an astonishing double-ambitious card effect that leaves audiences in disbelief, as Dani never touches the deck!

The What

In this effect, a spectator receives the deck and hands a portion to another spectator. The second spectator counts and memorizes their cards while the first remembers the top card. After combining and shuffling the packets, the second spectator reveals their cards one by one, allowing the first to recall the card corresponding to their count. This process is repeated, and both spectators now remember a card. The deck is split, shuffled, and mixed again as they place groups of cards on the table. Finally, they name their chosen cards, and to their astonishment, both selected cards rise to the top of the deck—all accomplished while Dani remains hands-off!

The How

Once you witness this mind-bending effect, Dani will guide you through the fundamental mechanics behind the trick, enabling you to practice immediately. He will share his unique sequence that provides invaluable insights into the spectators’ knowledge, allowing you to subtly influence their actions, even with a shuffled deck.

The Why

After grasping the basic explanation, Dani delves into his award-winning theories and philosophies that elevate this trick to new heights. You’ll learn to mask procedural magic with seemingly chaotic instructions, creating the illusion of randomness while maintaining control over the spectators’ thought-of cards without ever touching the deck. This is not just a trick; it’s an essential lesson in audience management.

Chapter 11 of The Force Project synthesizes the principles from previous lessons into a stunning performance of an impossible trick. This experience will transform your understanding of The Ambitious Card, and you’ll relish the opportunity to perform this extraordinary effect, guided by one of the greatest card magicians of our time.
