At The Same Level by Dani DaOrtiz (Force Project Chapter 8) (English)

The Force Project is a year-long course and a deep study of the way we have spectators select cards. Taught by Dani DaOrtiz, you’ll learn a new selection procedure each month and a baffling trick to practice it with. Chapter 8 features an incredible double revelation of two thought of cards that has to be seen to be believed.

The What
A deck is borrowed and shuffled. One spectator takes a packet of cards from wherever they want in the deck, gives some to another spectator, and both audience members secretly count the

number of cards they have. The packets are secretly put back together, shuffled, and then returned to the deck. One spectator counts their secret number in the deck and remembers the card at that position. The second spectator with a secret number does the same thing. The magician then cuts and shuffles the deck yet again! One of the spectators names any position in the deck. The other spectator cuts the deck into two piles. Both packets are counted down to the named position, and impossibly, both thought-of cards are found at that position!

The How
As soon as you have seen a performance of the trick Dani teaches you the bare bones of how the trick works so you can start practicing immediately. This is genuinely a borrowed shuffled deck in use effect. The effect is shockingly easy to perform. There are no gimmicks, extra cards, or difficult sleight of hand. This is one of the tricks you will want to have in your back pocket for when you want to fry your friends.

The Why
After you learn the basics, Dani teaches you the real work that makes his magic so powerful. A detailed explanation that covers the theory, psychology, and all of the secrets behind this amazing effect. You’ll learn Dani’s Mirror Force, a beautifully deceptive ruse that creates a bullet-proof dual reality. You will also learn to secretly gain key cards in natural ways that will even fool magicians. This lesson is a masterclass in gaining secret information and audience control that all magicians will benefit from.

Chapter 8 of The Force Project teaches you not just an amazing trick but Dani’s FISM-winning philosophies and performance theory, which give his magic a true sense of freedom. A true borrowed shuffled deck effect that hits like a freight train. You’re going to love performing At The Same Level. School is in, and your instructor is one of the finest card magicians the world has ever known.
