“David has done an incredible job with his Black Mirror Project. There are so many effects possible that are all so well thought through, and the integrations really take it all to the next level.”
– Marc Kerstein
“David has done it again; Black Mirror Project is amazing! It’s the most varied use of Shortcuts that I’ve seen. The Book test alone is worth the price. Any eBook, hands off and nothing for the participant to find – just impossible! This is the strongest phone magic you can perform and it’s perfect for everyone from professionals to hobbyists.”
November 1992 – October 1993

Utsukushii, the billet-less pin reveal, is a sure fire way to guess a single digit number someone is only thinking of, without anything having to be written down or props of any kind. It can then be used to work out other numbers such as pin codes, phone locks and entire phone numbers. If you would like to be able to reveal the pin numbers of strangers you meet or guess numbers which only exist as thoughts in a person’s mind, using only words, then this method is for you. NO dual reality is used. NO stooges or instant stooges. It can be used close up or on stage with a 100% success rate. It’s elegant, it’s clean and it’s direct.
Dani DaOrtiz is back, and this time, you don’t have a choice because this project is all about card forces! There’s no one who makes a card selection feel more honest and fair than Dani DaOrtiz. In this year-long project Dani will share with you his favorite methods, principles, and techniques to get your audience to take exactly the card you want.
The What
The magician’s deck of cards is handed out in packets to multiple spectators who thoroughly shuffle the deck. While this happens, another spectator is asked to think of any number between one
We invited Chris Mayhew to Hawaii to show us a control with real fire-power.
4 cards are cleanly placed into different parts of the deck. No optical illusions, this really happens.
In the impossibly fair action of giving the deck a riffle shuffle, all 4 cards are controlled to the top of the pack.
We wish we could jazz it up with adjectives and explosions, but in reality it’s that simple and clean.
