Dani DaOrtiz is your guide in this year-long course studying the card magic of Hofzinser, a legendary card magician from the 1800’s who has inspired generations of magicians.

In this fourth lesson, you will learn an astonishingly clean thought of card to wallet. No palming required. This lesson gives you the ability to make a freely thought of card vanish from the deck the spectator is holding and appear inside your wallet. A true miracle.

Here’s what the trick actually looks like:

1. The deck is handed out to many people in groups to shuffle. A spectator is asked to merely think of a card. The magician declares he won’t know what the card is but where it is.

2. The spectator takes the deck back, counts through the deck, and is asked to remember the position of their card in the pack.

3. As the spectator comes to the end of counting, they discover that there are only fifty-one cards in the deck.

4. For the first time, the magician takes their wallet out and reveals that the card they merely thought of is discovered inside the wallet.

You don’t just learn the effect, you learn some diabolical ways to control the choices and actions of your spectators. What looks like you asking questions is actually a wildly effective way of driving your audience towards the exact choice you want. Using a clever system created by Hofzinser and combined with some of Dani’s award-winning theory, this is a true miracle. A one-time setup is all it takes, from materials you already have around your house to perform this astonishingly easy thought of card to wallet. There’s no sleight of hand, no mechanical gimmicks, and no arts and crafts. This one is a true worker.
