    such a genuine and generous being. simply transcendent—a living legend 🙏
  • @thebest3511
    I was not watching a magic master talking about magics; I was watching a master who deeply understands HOW humans' brains, emotions, and senses are working. This is seriously the best interview and Podcast I've seen in years. Thank you to both of you for making this video and sharing this amazing knowledge.

    That impromptu invisible deck at the end with a borrowed sealed deck absolutely shocked me. It happened so fast I felt like there was no time for any special moves. I really liked this episode, I could listen to Dani talk forever. He's so passionate about magic, the psychology, and it's history. It really shows.

    Are you a fan of Dani’s book freedom of expression?
  • @sc24evr
    Who was the author of the “statutes” book Dani mentioned around 1:17:00? Ascanio? Ty
  • 1:30:06 - he cuts the cards, so the deck is no longer in the new deck order.
