This trick should be illegal. I have never seen people completely destroyed by a magic trick. There are some very impressive skills needed to pull this trick off.
Teller could have left that exact same comment. That was so well done. But I know the trick. You're a REAL wizzard who can summon cards as he wishes. Busted! Lol
I often skim over the episodes just to watch the Fooler, and most are "meh" these past seasons, but this act will always be one of the most memorable in the series.
I’ve watched this video over 50 times. No joke. The most magical part about this is how much fun everyone is having. There wasn’t a moment in time where someone wasn’t laughing or enjoying themselves. That’s real magic. Great job Dani
Very simple, but very impressive, misdirection is what we have here. As at the 1st one at 4:06 when he switches the 4-packs as he swings around to his right. Easy peasy.
They finally did it. They finally got an actual wizard on their show. This was wonderful to watch. The joy this man brought not only to the audience but to everyone on stage with him is just fabulous!
Let's be real here it wasn't just the audience and the hosts he brought Joy and that feeling of bafflement and amazement that we would feel as kids even just watching it on CZcams. This man should have his own show called Fool me Dani.
Well its up to debate... shawn farquhar, jandro and richard turner have shown to be actual wizards as well... i mean having a marked card turned up in a sealed deck of cards? having an alarm to set off when a by lego, clay and a lock enclosed boy opnes? getting any card you want in any position you want while not actually knowing how the cards even look? i qould like to argue we got a quartett of wizards
Penn & Teller literally transformed about half way through into stunned audience members. There was no analyzing, no how is it done. They sat back and enjoyed the show.
I was amazed but was still watching and trying to see moves so I am sure they were as well. You can pay attention and enjoy things at the same time. It is actually their job.
@@elhior23 No you cannot. You cannot enjoy a magic trick fully and analyze it at the same time. THat is how magic works. Misdirection. I feel like you are an easy pocket to pick if that is how you feel. I would love to have you as an audience.
@@elhior23 Pretty arrogant to believe that after hundreds of years you think the one thing a magician thrives on uses and controls to do their profession is for you just not a thing of course the harder you pay attention the more you will enjoy yourself... No that is why it works.
The best 10 minutes in the history of the show. There have been many great performers, but this is the best of the best. Aside from the incredible skill involved, Dani's enthusiasm and ability to behave like he's just as surprised as his audience that a trick worked is disarming. And I will be using the phrase "cat and complete" from now on in my everyday life.
Penn said in a podcast that he believes that in years to come, when Fool Us no longer exists, people will remember this performance as the best in the whole show.
To see Pen and Teller go back to a place and time when they were once full of wonder and joy for the art of magic; fooled and delighted as we all were, was such a beautiful thing to see. The childlike expressions they had, laughing, giggling, jumping up and down in their chair...it's rare for them to not only be fooled, but thorougly delighted and entertained at the same time. I've never heard of this Dani fella', but boy would I pay to see him perform at a live show 10x over. He deserves all the praise for this performance. What a stand up guy
In a sense, P&T invented the ultimate magic: After decades in the business, seeing, knowing and performing almost every trick imaginable, they set up a show where people specifically bring new magic to them, and return to them all the wonder and joy that makes magic what it is. Truely beautiful!
"Dani DaOrtiz is, I believe, the best card magician that has ever lived." -- Penn Jillette czcams.com/video/NdxT3BL_Iik/video.html "Ain't that the truth." -- Heywood Jablome
Besides the awesome card trick on display, its such a great thing that P&T allows the actual creators to post their own tricks and not allow the producing company to DCMA strike these guys. Its awesome to see the support for smaller creators/magicians to get respect and independence from the venue. cheers to Dani and P&T
I like that they allow that but it's a pain to find recent clips on CZcams. And the quality varies from creator to creator. I wish the show posted in a common place but also linked creator links or creator pages or something like that. Plus, I'm sure not every magician has a CZcams so we are missing content. Of course, there are other formal ways to actually view the episodes I know.
In case you don't realize, the production company can't really DCMA strike them. Why? Because while the production company owns copyright into the video, the performer owns the copyright in his performance.
Except, sadly, some _have_ gotten copyright striked by the various TV channels internationally who purchased the rights to distribute the show. Shawn Farquhar lost some of his Fool Us vids to that.
Yeah he definitely would've messed it up. In the beginning Donny Osmand even grabbed the deck to "make sure it wasn't a trick deck" and it turns out none of that was planned. You never touch the Magician's cards or props or anything and he did it yet Dani handled it so gracefully.
he but most people aare judged where as he isnt, why is he different? because if it was as fair for him as everyone else then we would all know how it is done,, remember magic isnt real and it is pretty much impossible to do what he did unless he knew which card she was thinking of.. thats a hint on how its done,, the force is with you ;)
Fair enough. I deliberately avoid buying any of his material as I know I’d never do it and perform it as well as him. So I prefer to sit back and be fooled.
This is truly mind blowing. And from what I heard Dani had only come to the set to support one of his friends who was on the show. The producers saw he was there, begged him to perform something on the show, and that is how we got this performance. He literally did this on the fly.
@@BurgMusic even though I don’t believe what the original comment said it could have been made after cause there’s no live audience and they’re just playing recordings edit: i was wrong, this act was improvised.
@@BurgMusic Pre-Performance videos are always done after the show recordings. Even when the audience was there, they weren't shown these videos as only for acts, that ended up in the final cut of the show, videos where shot.
Wow! That makes this the closest I've ever seen to actual magic! Thanks for the background information, it really helps understand what's happening here...
@@petergriffin8767 Dani said in the interview with Javi Benitez (you can find it on CZcams) that it pretty much was like the OC said: Dani doesn't do television, because he doesn't like it and he has refused to go on FU many times. So it's in some way true: He was in Vegas because friends of him were there and then he was convinced to come on camera but only under the premise that he gets his 10 minutes and doesn't need to cut down his trick. So it's pretty lucky we got him.
I think at the end, when Allison says the card, both Penn and Teller were expecting some kind of additional trickery or moves or just literally anything to make the trick seem possible because he didnt know the card yet. And when he says “Thank you very much” and turns it over they seem 100% just totally stunned.
This guy has to be one of the best card mechanics on the planet. That was legendary. Other than putting the three on top of the box, which most people only saw after re-watch, I don't think a single other move of this entire routine was detected by anybody at the table or watching the act.
@@KillerOrangeCat I know what you mean but have you got any idea at all? Eg the reveal at 3.35 was so very quick surely there would be no time to use any normal index system?
This is legitimately the best magic act i have ever seen. What is amazing is you realize he has superhuman card handling/control skills but he's SO good he makes it look like he's doing nothing.
Even though we "know" it's a sleight of hand trick, it still appears as impossible magic even on recorded video! He had people directly to his left and right WTF! My trick was that I guessed that he'd guess the #21 and I thought her card was Queen of Hearts but it was Jack of Hearts. "I don't know how I don't know how" that showmanship how he's also impressed is perfect!!
Everybody tries to sell penn & teller that it was "fair" shuffle, cuts, props, being a normal deck as clean as possible. But this guy does the opposite just bc he can.
The way Dani points at Teller and makes eye contact to steal his attention for a split second to hide the card on the box at 2:59 is unbelievable. This has to be the only performance that becomes even more magical when you know how it’s done. Truly incredible
I caught the placement of the card on the box the second time, but not the point at Teller to direct his attention away from it. I've never seen anyone in such absolute control of a group of people before. Everyone was putty in that guy's hands.
@@flashlight06 He's talking with Penn but as he moves the box, with the card on top of it, he makes a gesture at Teller to distract him from noticing the card sitting there.
Dani's real trick is to pretend he is a magician to hide the fact that he is a wizard. Esta ha sido la única presentación que he visto en 'Fool Us' que me pone la piel de gallina. Es una mezcla de asombro y sobresalto. Supongo que así debe sentirse el experimentar cosas de la quinta dimensión.
it's even more impressive when you know how it's done. so many things could have gone wrong. there's two times in particular where he had to physically grab someone's hand to prevent the trick from going awry
His funniest joke for me was on another video, when he's making fun of Alyson's shuffle before spreading the deck he says "I do nothing". So in the other video a similar thing happened and he said "I do nothing, I'm fat (and grabs his belly), I do nothing".
My favorite thing about the video is when he finally finished the trick, nobody claps or makes a sound for a few seconds as they're trying to process what the hell just happened. Amazing!!!
2:57 Totally nonchalant misdirection while he moved that box with the card in his hand was so beautiful! Dani's moves are so clean and crisp. It brings tears to my eyes.
Definitely one of the strongest acts ever on Fool Us. So great to see not only P&T but also Alyson (who's become a bit jaded after 10 years of watching a LOT of magicians) completely enchanted, entertained and legit *destroyed.* Dani is a force of nature and a very diabolical magician.
That is when a trick is great. Penn has said it himself. He knows so much about magic he is rarely surprised by a trick so when it does happen he gets to feel that particular joy again.
@@es330td It's my opinion that the passion and love for that is exactly why they made the show. To find that rare talent that can do what Dani has done here. They obviously live for that. Thankfully, we get to go along for this ride!
@Mr Mavvy Jaded in the sense that anyone who watches a lot of magic over a many years is *much* harder to impress. Alyson has seen almost every approach and plot in magic, and she has a strong sense of the structure and grammar of magic even if she's not particularly knowledgable about all its various techniques. She's an awesome host and she knows how to play along but she can't possibly watch magic with the eyes of an average lay person. Dani completely bypassed any defenses she might have had up. He is such a disarming presence that you can almost see the moment (maybe 2 1/2 minutes in?) when she's no longer evaluating and just totally surrenders to the ride.
Alyson's reaction at the end kills me every time and I love it. Not only is she completely in shock after maybe expecting to see another average magic act, you can see her looking to Penn to see what he thought and then she realizes he is just as stunned as she is and she doesn't know what to make of that information. So wonderful to see everyone's minds just fried by the end of this.
@@davidhamrich The Dunning-Kruger Effect is so fascinating. You people really have no idea how ignorant you truly are. You simply don't have the capacity to grasp that you could--gasp!--be wrong about something, or in this case, just completely dumb.
This is a performance for an audience of one. He's taking Teller for a ride, back to the land of wonder from seeing the first card trick as a kid. He's having a conversation with a man that doesn't speak in words. He's explaining, step by step, which trick he will do, and how he will do it. Then he does it and melts Teller's mind. Also entertaining the rest of the world is a side-effect. Being able to experience that wonder is the biggest thing magicians lose when taking up the art, and being able to do it to another magician is a mark of mastery. Chasing the feeling is the stated goal by P&T for doing the show. Watch the video again, and look at Teller exclusively. Watch how he slowly is transformed from judge to fellow magician to spectator to kid in a candyshop. THAT is the real magic trick on display here, and it is a once-in-a-generation masterpiece.
THIS. Teller was the true audience. After the three on the box, he was a kid again! And that's a trick Teller can easily do himself, but the mastery of the movement and voice actually pulled him in. Dani made him stop burning. Incredible.
@@jericcastillo4286 what I mean to say is that he is using a trick with very basic mechanics (locating a card, palming it, misdirecting attention away from placing it), but that he is so good at them that he gets to use them in new ways. It's traditional magic, but on a new level.
I have been performing magic for over 20 years. I am a member of The International Brotherhood of Magicians, The Society of American Magicians and a member of our local magic club here in Louisville, Kentucky. I myself particularly enjoy performing card tricks since a deck of cards is very easy to carry around with you. That being said, this demonstration by Dani DaOrtiz absolutely, positively blew me right out of my chair. I have no earthly clue as to how this was accomplished. I had the same reaction as Teller did when he simulated his head exploding. Great trick! Well done!
(VERY far fetched but:) I kind of think it might have something to do with hypnosis as it's quite interesting to me that the only choices that mattered were from Alison and the... other guy. Penn was asked ONCE to think of a card and it was only for a trick where it vanished and got restored, not related to finding it in the deck. Imagine Alison and ... the other guy were told beforehand exactly what to say on each step and watch the act again.
@@Panossa Hypnosis is not allowed and must be prepared beforehand to be 100% effective. Force is the most probable explanation by elimination but how he did it is unknown.
@@trym2121 I don't think it could have been a force. I can't even conceptualize how someone would be able to find the cards after a force with other people shuffling it and everything. I was thinking while watching it that there had to be some element of mentalism, but I'm not well versed enough in mentalism to know anything to look for.
The sleight of hand this man exhibits is so good and so smooth, even Teller was mind blown by the pure skill. Like when the 3 of hearts was put on top of the box, Teller himself CANNOT see it happen, he is even more shocked by it than everyone else because it happened in his peripheral vision. Just amazing.
This guy, Jandro, and Christian Engblom all knew Juan Tamariz… Perhaps it’s no coincidence that all three of these magicians utterly destroyed Penn and Teller. Seriously mind blowing stuff. Amazing.
Of coure it's not. The spanish school is just full of geniuses, where the average ones are above average compared to magicians outside of that country.
I was always dreaming about a card magic where almost everything is random.I thought it was impossible to execute,until this show.Literally unbelievable
Agreed. Daortiz' style is just so natural, much like his mentor Juan Tamariz. Also, for amazing random card mastery, check out Lennart Green! Another wizard with cards who appears to have never even held a deck...and miracles just happen.
This was by far the most confident, savage, brutal routine I have ever seen. Sleight of hand, IMPERCEPTABLE. Swaps in the double digits, probably? HIGH doubles, like 40-60 swaps, no one could see them. Penn, Teller, us with a magnifying glass... INVISIBLE. He could have produced a live chicken on Allison's head and asked if she feels like having eggs for breakfast, and she would have contemplated it for a full minute before he grabbed ol' Rosie off her head!
This performance is my happy place. If I ever need cheering up or if I'm feeling down. I've seen this so much I dont need to actually watch it anymore, I can just rewatch it in my head and never fails to make me happy
We in Spain have always had truly masters at cardmagic, now Dani DaOrtiz is the best of them all, this guy is incredible and his magic unbelievable. Penn and Teller's reaction says it all.
Other magicians do magic. This guy *lives* magic. The performance is fractal in nature. There are tricks within tricks within tricks here. He has total control at all moments, everything has a purpose and is improvized perfectly.
And maybe most important: He does have a backup plan at every point in the trick. As you said, the performance is fractal, but I'm quite sure, even if something breaks, we would not notice it, because he would blend seamlessly into his backup.
Dani is the master of forcing. Extremely well performed. I've been performing for 8 years now thanks to Dani. I learnt all I know from him. Simplemente GRACIAS y saludos desde Argentina.
This has to be one of the most impressive magic tricks ever done its so long yet it's executed perfectly and everyone is laughing and smiling the whole time.
I have returned to this video many times, and enjoy it thoroughly each time. Beyond the amazing sleight of hand, my favorite part is how effortlessly funny and entertaining Dani is during the entire routine. So many magicians try to be "funny" through forced patter and hacky jokes, but Dani is just genuinely charismatic and lets his personality shine through.
I have been waiting for this moment and love that P&T did not even bother to delay the trophy. Even when Dani tells you how he does it, he is still magic.
There are magicians nowadays who also do cardistry, showing off their dexterity. But the best magicians in the world, the classic magicians, do magic in a way that makes it seem like it’s just “happening” to them; like they are just along for the ride just like we are. Dani does that better than anyone else.
What are they feeding you guys in Spain? Every single magician from Spain is mind blowing on a level so far above any other country in the world. Spain is the true capital of Magic
This is hands down the greatest magic I've seen in my life. Fool Us or any other show on television. This man is absolutely astounding!! Dani Daortiz ...unbelievable!! Absolutely blown away!
I can't recall the last time I've seen Penn & Teller be so absolutely gobsmacked! I watched in again...and for a third time. It gets better every time. True magic! Harry Potter has nothing on you! :D
@@Kjhd9987hy I've watched almost every episode of every season of Fool Us. I don't remember all the magicians' names, but it seems like every time they have a magician from Spain, that magician has an amazing trick that's on a higher level than the tricks from most other magicians on the show. (Jandro is one example who comes to mind, but he's not the only one.) That's my opinion. If you come to a different conclusion, that's fine.
I don't even have words to how incredibly amazing that was. Card magic often seems rigid to me, but your performance was extremely fluid, giving the impression that you don't even have to follow any rules, you can just do anything you want and magic will inevitably happen. And to give that impression in front of experienced magicians and having them handle the cards is even more amazing. I really hope I could be able to see your show live some day!
This is spot on. Dani's technical skill has to be very high as well as the amount of innovation in the trick, but what's just as amazing is how natural he lets a card trick flow as just some fun, which is very hard to do because card tricks often seem so overdone.
I showed this to my wife last night. She isn't interested in magic like I am. I am happy to report she sat in awe and amazement and now is interested in magic. Well done,, Sir. /salute Sarge
I'm with all three of them. I'm never going to slow the video down, try and watch for any and every move, or try and keep up with this beautifully crafted maniac. I'm just going to watch it over and over and smile at how awesome this magician is.
But the most amazing part of this trick is that it even fools people that know where to check the moves. Thats the difference between a good trick and a masterpiece of a trick. At the eyes of someone who doesnt know the basics of magic both may look the same. Since both tricks, the mediocre and the great can have the same effect and explanation: 'Its just magic' What is truly amazing is see magicians or people with knowledge getting mindfucked because the only explanation of a trick is a level of mastery and control that is so out of this world that they second guess themselves if its even possible.
The balls of that move from 2:50 onwards is insane. Right in front of Pen and Tellers face and they didn't even notice. That's some real crowd control right there.
P&T are masters of misdirection. In particular, Penn is master of the flashy showmanship and Teller is master of the sneaky. Dani does both of those, right in front of their faces, and neither notices. That look on Teller's face tells me, "Well, damn. I should've seen that. I think I did see that. I didn't see that. He actually got me. Like, actually." And then Penn's audible gasp/inhale at the realization.... Easily one of the top 3 moments in this act!
The Greatest Ever Performance in the History of Fool Us. The sheer astonishment and natural joy on everyone's face during the entire length of the performance is enough to justify the claim made at the start. Dani Sir, you are simply extraordinary! Kudos for learning an art, and taking it to the next level that others can only aspire to achieve! Simplemente Extraordinaire Dani!
Yeah the speed at which he's doing pass is _insane_ (think Kostya Kimlat's RC in terms of how difficult it must be to master - if you watch his performance you see that Peen gets angry at Kostya _because_ he tried to learn the method and he can't do it).
That might actually be one of the greatest card tricks ever performed. Shin Lim included. That was absolutely stunning. I will have to watch that a few times. A work of art. I love teller’s face…. There’s no doubt he psychologically played them. But being enthralled, it was easy to fool them. The guy is the best.
@@NT_1 I'm always more impressed by actual Close-Up Magicians than Stage Close-Up Magicians. If Shim tried to do his act in an actual close-up environment (not stage controlled like he has it). None of his "magic" would pass muster.
@@w00master That is true. But who knows maybe Shin lim probably knows some really good closeup acts as well. I'm really into closeup card magic. Lookup Tony Chang and Earnest Ericks Legendary book 'By Forces Unseen' (most likely you've heard of them). I'm studying that book and it is ELITE sleight of hand.
in my two years of watching multiple penn & teller clips, seeing them perform in vegas.. how have i not seen this routine?!! i am in tears from laughter, my jaw is on the floor from the performance and my mind is blown.
Speechless and in tears. For the first time ever after seeing a cardtrick. Almost the same feeling I got when watching the first Jurassic Park movie and the dinosaurs felt so real. Here magic felt real. It was beatiful. Thank you for making this almost 50 year old guy feel like a kid again in a world full of wonders. :)
I was fortunate enough to have him visit a show in my home town in Bulgaria last week and he performed a longer version of this trick... it was amazing!!! You sir bring smiles to people faces!
"he performed a longer version of this trick" Now, the question is did he perform a longer version of the trick or did he perform the same version but it just took longer because the people choosing the cards weren't choosing what he was trying to get them to choose and so he needed to play "bumbling foreign magician" act a lot more until they finally did and he could end it?
This is just one of the most beautiful and entertaining performances in the history of Fool Us, and knowing that he wasn't't even scheduled to do it is completely mind-blowing to me. I had to know how it was done so I bought Dani's walkthrough / explainer video, and now that I know... it's even better to watch. Somehow it is even more magical now. Absolutely incredible. What a phenomenal entertainer!
Agreed! It’s such a blast to perform “the ritual.” To quote Conor Mcgregor: “Ireland, it’s good to be back!” Allison wasn’t there just to take part, she was there to take over. What a magical genius
@@a.s.8671 Dani mentioned on an hour long video with Javi Benitez that he has done/practiced this trick thousands of times. The first half is all improvised based upon what is selected, where the box is and how people respond. The ritual also has backups as well if needed. Can anyone perform the ritual with practice? Sure. Skill level to perform flawlessly on television with 2 master magicians at the table? Probably just him in the world.
That's genuinely the most astonishing magic trick I've ever seen, and over 40 decades I've seen a lot of magic tricks. I'm sat here feeling like I've watched real magic. I don't even want to know how it's done
The three of hearts on the box is the easiest part to figure out, but he did it so naturally that nobody saw it coming. I think usually Penn watches one hand while Teller watches the other hand for these simple misdetection, but the performance is so captivating that this simple misdirect delights everyone. I went back and rewound it several times and it's amazing.😊
After watching a video exposing these tricks, as well as Dani's post-performance interview, I still find myself coming back to this video almost daily. It's such an impressive feat, especially knowing how many hiccups there were in this performance that he just smoothes over like they're not even there. I just really love this performance.
Probably one of the best and worst thing about performance art is screwing up. The difference between a novice and a master is whether or not you notice the mistake.
What's so magical about this is not the card tricks themselves, but Dani. He's got a big heart and it shows. I enjoyed him as a performer more than the magic itself.
My already overloaded brain cried out in agony @4:53 when he said "This is nothing... this is not the trick." In addition to being absolutely amazing, it was one of the funniest things I've ever experienced.
I hope this show never goes off the air, P&T are bringing magic from all over the world to a wider audience. It’s so beautiful and positive to see. Congrats!
Spectacular set, he is so charismatic! During the whole performance the 4 participants were either laughing their hearts out or simply stunned! Also, when he said "MAYBE six, it's your life" (07:12 in the chaotic phase of the trick) I lost my shit :D
How is it even possible. He didnt touch the card. He didnt choose the card and number. He had no impact to the deck of cards but still managed to get what card they wanted. Absolutly insane performance
Alyson is often always in on many of the tricks shown there. The one who gave the number, came with him and was not Penn or teller. I feel like this is the trick.
I've been into card magic for 28 years now, and the that last one (JH) just destroyed me! I love that people like the caliber of Dani can make me feel like a layman again...this feeling I have right now, after watching this set, is the reason I got into magic! God bless
yes but some of the tricks simply involve people secretly playing a part in the trick or its set up. in other words we are fooled to believe the authenticity of P&T.
@@aethanfriday3568 A lot of magicians do an AC/AL routine where they can take advantage of hitting a 1 in 52 highroll, and cut the routine short when there normally would be another reveal. This feels like we just witnessed someone hit the jackpot in one of those routines.
@@G.Aaron.Fisher nah it's not an out, it should work every time, he taught something similar using the same method in Borrowed Deck Miracles on vanishing inc so I know the method and it's super clever but does work every time (if you do it right)
such a highwire act. so many moments could have gone wrong that one could find it hard to believe he could do this routine consistently. but somehow i feel like this guy clutches it out every time no matter what happens. total control.
His hour-long interview on his channel goes into how it almost went wrong so many times! From Donny Osmond grabbing the deck at the start, to Alyson Hannigan not following instructions well on shuffling and dealing the cards into the pile (you can see that he peeks the jack of hearts before finishing the trick in case it landed on the wrong card and he was prepared to improvise a different ending). The whole time he's in control. Truly a masterclass on control of the participants, as well as the cards.
ABSOLUTELY ASTOUNDING. And the most beautiful and astounding part is your mother's dedication to supporting your art. She is the real magician.... she made you and recognized your talent. Pure inspiration. Some the best magic I have seen in 3.5 decades of following magic.
Debatably the best all time act on Fool Us. Shin Lim’s definitely had the grandeur and artistic talent in addition to skill, but I’ve never seen Penn and Teller have their minds blown this hard. Maybe from Kostya Kimlats first appearance, but he only did one amazing effect rather than several
Yeah and with Kostya, you could see Penn catch the moment that he knew the trick took place, he just couldn't explain it. With this guy, THEY SAW NOTHING!
At 10:10 he is calling him "the greatest, the greatest". Also, there is a video in which Penn calls him the greatest card magician of all times, even above Tamariz (who is Daortiz teacher since he was a kid). czcams.com/video/NdxT3BL_Iik/video.html
I feel so lucky that I clicked Penn's Sunday School and it brought me here. My mind is blowing at 4am. It was the funniest and most surreal magic I've ever seen.
putting the 3 of hearts on the card box with no one noticing was just incredible. I watched that several times over and was mesmerized with how smooth that was and how good you are at distraction.

You did an amazing performance. Looking forward to more.
Wao! Tremendo me encanto !
A N Y T H I N G Y O U W A N T 😂❤
This trick should be illegal. I have never seen people completely destroyed by a magic trick. There are some very impressive skills needed to pull this trick off.
So absolutely incredible!
If you play it at 0.25 speed, you will see how Dani destroys Penn and Tellers mind at 0.25 speed
That’s just cheating.
I did that. Could not see anything unusual! Amazing!
Yes, I caught how he got the 3 on top of the card box.
I watched at 0.25 speed and my mind was only blown at 4x speed.
You can hear their minds snapping.
I have watched a lot of Fool Us over the years, and I can't remember seeing anything as legitimately mind-blowing as this. Such a great performance.
Came to say the same. Mind absolutely blown
Teller could have left that exact same comment. That was so well done. But I know the trick. You're a REAL wizzard who can summon cards as he wishes. Busted! Lol
I often skim over the episodes just to watch the Fooler, and most are "meh" these past seasons, but this act will always be one of the most memorable in the series.
The only thing that comes to mind is Richard Turner preformence
that was no performance, that was straight out real magic 🤯
I’ve watched this video over 50 times. No joke. The most magical part about this is how much fun everyone is having. There wasn’t a moment in time where someone wasn’t laughing or enjoying themselves. That’s real magic. Great job Dani
I'm with you on the number of times watched. Never seen a magician use entertainment as a distraction like this before.
Amateur... the hardcore gang here watched this video at least 500 times!
@Eclipse Saw it, it"s awesome.
Great interview with Dani talking about this act! czcams.com/video/-SYRWA1wlNg/video.html
Agreed about everybody enjoying themselves. Dani is an exceptional entertainer.
So incredible it almost made Teller talk!
When a normal person is impressed, they're left speechless. But when teller is impressed, he talks.
He did laugh out loud.
Very simple, but very impressive, misdirection is what we have here. As at the 1st one at 4:06 when he switches the 4-packs as he swings around to his right. Easy peasy.
@@mikeconnolly4296 what about the last one
@@mikeconnolly4296 ofcourse he switches them, the impressive part is them being 7s
Are you here to watch this act for the 30th time? Again?
It gives me that feeling every time. Absolutely Incredible.
Yep.
yes
hahahaha yes! how did you know!
Yep
They finally did it. They finally got an actual wizard on their show.
This was wonderful to watch. The joy this man brought not only to the audience but to everyone on stage with him is just fabulous!
Tamariz is the best card magician in the world. If this guy is a student of his, no wonder why he is so good.
I thought you meant the Mexicans
Bruh that guy must be an immortal wizard laughing his way through time. Legit God tier slight of hand and joy.
Let's be real here it wasn't just the audience and the hosts he brought Joy and that feeling of bafflement and amazement that we would feel as kids even just watching it on CZcams. This man should have his own show called Fool me Dani.
Well its up to debate... shawn farquhar, jandro and richard turner have shown to be actual wizards as well... i mean having a marked card turned up in a sealed deck of cards? having an alarm to set off when a by lego, clay and a lock enclosed boy opnes? getting any card you want in any position you want while not actually knowing how the cards even look?
i qould like to argue we got a quartett of wizards
Penn & Teller literally transformed about half way through into stunned audience members. There was no analyzing, no how is it done. They sat back and enjoyed the show.
I was amazed but was still watching and trying to see moves so I am sure they were as well. You can pay attention and enjoy things at the same time. It is actually their job.
@@elhior23 No you cannot. You cannot enjoy a magic trick fully and analyze it at the same time. THat is how magic works. Misdirection. I feel like you are an easy pocket to pick if that is how you feel. I would love to have you as an audience.
@@grant8653 Well you can not. Quite astounding that you are so arrogant.
@@elhior23 Pretty arrogant to believe that after hundreds of years you think the one thing a magician thrives on uses and controls to do their profession is for you just not a thing of course the harder you pay attention the more you will enjoy yourself... No that is why it works.
They told you this, right? Because you're such good friends.
The best 10 minutes in the history of the show. There have been many great performers, but this is the best of the best. Aside from the incredible skill involved, Dani's enthusiasm and ability to behave like he's just as surprised as his audience that a trick worked is disarming. And I will be using the phrase "cat and complete" from now on in my everyday life.
Penn said in a podcast that he believes that in years to come, when Fool Us no longer exists, people will remember this performance as the best in the whole show.
"miau and complete"...lolololol
"i don know how..."
Maybe he is as surprised as the audience. Maybe he isn't a magician, he is only a very lucky guy. It is the only explanation to this😂😂😂
this is as close to magic as magic can get.
To see Pen and Teller go back to a place and time when they were once full of wonder and joy for the art of magic; fooled and delighted as we all were, was such a beautiful thing to see. The childlike expressions they had, laughing, giggling, jumping up and down in their chair...it's rare for them to not only be fooled, but thorougly delighted and entertained at the same time.
I've never heard of this Dani fella', but boy would I pay to see him perform at a live show 10x over. He deserves all the praise for this performance. What a stand up guy
In a sense, P&T invented the ultimate magic: After decades in the business, seeing, knowing and performing almost every trick imaginable, they set up a show where people specifically bring new magic to them, and return to them all the wonder and joy that makes magic what it is. Truely beautiful!
You know, it is very worth it to see him live, if you have the oportunity, do it
"Dani DaOrtiz is, I believe, the best card magician that has ever lived." -- Penn Jillette
czcams.com/video/NdxT3BL_Iik/video.html
"Ain't that the truth." -- Heywood Jablome
This may turn out to be a rare occasion, to see this man perform.
Penn went on record after the show, and said Dani's possibly the greatest card magician there is.
Besides the awesome card trick on display, its such a great thing that P&T allows the actual creators to post their own tricks and not allow the producing company to DCMA strike these guys. Its awesome to see the support for smaller creators/magicians to get respect and independence from the venue. cheers to Dani and P&T
This is the only way I've watched the show, individually through CZcams clips. I haven't had cable since 2008.
I like that they allow that but it's a pain to find recent clips on CZcams. And the quality varies from creator to creator. I wish the show posted in a common place but also linked creator links or creator pages or something like that. Plus, I'm sure not every magician has a CZcams so we are missing content. Of course, there are other formal ways to actually view the episodes I know.
In case you don't realize, the production company can't really DCMA strike them. Why? Because while the production company owns copyright into the video, the performer owns the copyright in his performance.
This comment is in every magician video... as it should be, P&T are amazing
Except, sadly, some _have_ gotten copyright striked by the various TV channels internationally who purchased the rights to distribute the show. Shawn Farquhar lost some of his Fool Us vids to that.
6:39 Dani realizes 'this clown is going to mess up my trick, I need to get the deck back from him' 🙂 He is sooo good at managing the spectators.
Yeah he definitely would've messed it up. In the beginning Donny Osmand even grabbed the deck to "make sure it wasn't a trick deck" and it turns out none of that was planned. You never touch the Magician's cards or props or anything and he did it yet Dani handled it so gracefully.
@@brandonc422 imagine if he shuffled the deck lol well i assume he has more. Or maybe he would've skipped those few tricks from the beginning
I think that's when he slips in the pile of Jacks of Hearts, with his left hand under the table. But gosh if I can see it happen.
@@quinnjones1655allison has not mentioned her card at that point.
@@matsetizar65Allison is many things, but not a Toydarian. He had a strong suspicion she would pick the jack of hearts at that point
Dani's energy is absurd. The trick is so chaotic. I was fully engaged the whole time and cracking up. This man is top notch.
It`s Juan Tamariz's signature chaotic fast paced humorous style. Tehy take you for a ride...
He is unbelievable
The face of Teller says it all. Unbelievable end of the trick. I have seen many of these, but never a trick so clean, simple and truly baffling
@@gabyvandinterenpmp956 he is unbelievable hees like a thief in the night absolutely unbelievable
Yes, I've never seen Teller looking so amazed, happy and surprised!
I love how every magician does a very special trick created just for Pen and Teller, but he just does his normal tricks and fools them.
I wonder if he actually knew what he was going to do before he sat down.
@@magicelliotth man, if yoy watch any of dani's lectures you will understand, but, EVERYTHING that he performs is very well planned.
he but most people aare judged where as he isnt, why is he different? because if it was as fair for him as everyone else then we would all know how it is done,, remember magic isnt real and it is pretty much impossible to do what he did unless he knew which card she was thinking of.. thats a hint on how its done,, the force is with you ;)
@@MegaCharns Or there's just something you don't know and he does, because he is a master who does this for a living.
Fair enough. I deliberately avoid buying any of his material as I know I’d never do it and perform it as well as him. So I prefer to sit back and be fooled.
This is truly mind blowing. And from what I heard Dani had only come to the set to support one of his friends who was on the show. The producers saw he was there, begged him to perform something on the show, and that is how we got this performance. He literally did this on the fly.
Uhhh... how do you explain the pre-performance video?
@@BurgMusic even though I don’t believe what the original comment said it could have been made after cause there’s no live audience and they’re just playing recordings
edit: i was wrong, this act was improvised.
@@BurgMusic Pre-Performance videos are always done after the show recordings. Even when the audience was there, they weren't shown these videos as only for acts, that ended up in the final cut of the show, videos where shot.
Wow! That makes this the closest I've ever seen to actual magic! Thanks for the background information, it really helps understand what's happening here...
@@petergriffin8767 Dani said in the interview with Javi Benitez (you can find it on CZcams) that it pretty much was like the OC said: Dani doesn't do television, because he doesn't like it and he has refused to go on FU many times. So it's in some way true: He was in Vegas because friends of him were there and then he was convinced to come on camera but only under the premise that he gets his 10 minutes and doesn't need to cut down his trick. So it's pretty lucky we got him.
I think at the end, when Allison says the card, both Penn and Teller were expecting some kind of additional trickery or moves or just literally anything to make the trick seem possible because he didnt know the card yet. And when he says “Thank you very much” and turns it over they seem 100% just totally stunned.
This guy has to be one of the best card mechanics on the planet. That was legendary. Other than putting the three on top of the box, which most people only saw after re-watch, I don't think a single other move of this entire routine was detected by anybody at the table or watching the act.
I'm pretty sure I saw the 8h "restore" as well, but I missed the 3 on box first watch. Didn't see anything else.
The best is Juan Tamariz by far, he mentioned him in the video. A legend in spanish TV shows from about 40 years or more. 🎻🎻🎻
@@traperua there's this video of Penn talking about DaOrtiz where he calls DaOrtiz better than Tamariz.
The card ripping and reappearing, that's standard card magic. The 10s to 7s swap is plainly visible, but only if you look down.
@@traperua dani daortiz is channeling tamariz big time in this video
I'm 48 years old and have seen countless amounts of card tricks and this has to be the best. Well done, Dani.
I am 47 and a magician and I agree. I am totally baffled
Yeah same here. Best card trick I've ever seen
Jaw dropping. Absolutely insane. Wow!
agreed 100%
@@KillerOrangeCat I know what you mean but have you got any idea at all? Eg the reveal at 3.35 was so very quick surely there would be no time to use any normal index system?
This is legitimately the best magic act i have ever seen.
What is amazing is you realize he has superhuman card handling/control skills but he's SO good he makes it look like he's doing nothing.
"he makes it look like he's doing nothing"... exactly my thought!
he even looks like he fumbles the cards when in reality he has perfect control lol
Even though we "know" it's a sleight of hand trick, it still appears as impossible magic even on recorded video! He had people directly to his left and right WTF! My trick was that I guessed that he'd guess the #21 and I thought her card was Queen of Hearts but it was Jack of Hearts. "I don't know how I don't know how" that showmanship how he's also impressed is perfect!!
Everybody tries to sell penn & teller that it was "fair" shuffle, cuts, props, being a normal deck as clean as possible. But this guy does the opposite just bc he can.
I honestly think that no other performance on this show will ever be even close to this one.. I'm speechless...
right up there with Richard Turner... only past LOL... this man is insane!!!!
Agreed! Best I've seen!
The way Dani points at Teller and makes eye contact to steal his attention for a split second to hide the card on the box at 2:59 is unbelievable. This has to be the only performance that becomes even more magical when you know how it’s done. Truly incredible
Same when he says "but it is true the deck is not complete". He was running circles around them lol
I caught the placement of the card on the box the second time, but not the point at Teller to direct his attention away from it. I've never seen anyone in such absolute control of a group of people before. Everyone was putty in that guy's hands.
@@Bloodbain88 it doesn't work, you can see teller look at the card on the box right after he moves the box over
You mean Penn or Teller? I think you mixed it up. He's talking with Penn. Teller is the silent magician.
@@flashlight06 He's talking with Penn but as he moves the box, with the card on top of it, he makes a gesture at Teller to distract him from noticing the card sitting there.
At 4:46 Teller forgot that he isn't supposed to make any sounds. That's how good Dani is.
This
True 🤣
Good catch!!
he can't believe he fell for the misdirection , it is so fast paced it is wonderful, would love to see it live just to be amazed
I also think the gasp at 9:14 is actually Teller too, like it literally blew his mind
"Whill you try to change my mind?"
"I DON'T CARE!" 😂
Best part is that he cares tremendously
Dani's real trick is to pretend he is a magician to hide the fact that he is a wizard.
Esta ha sido la única presentación que he visto en 'Fool Us' que me pone la piel de gallina. Es una mezcla de asombro y sobresalto. Supongo que así debe sentirse el experimentar cosas de la quinta dimensión.
😅😅😅
This is so remarkably apt! Pretend he's a magician to hide the fact that he's a wizard. Talk about hiding in plain sight 😅
Hay pocas actuaciones en P&T de este calibre, creo que shim lim en las primeras temporadas también es espectacular
He literally fooled Penn &Teller like 22 times. Mind blowing.
By a huge margin the greatest performance I've ever seen with a deck of cards. I'm speechless. I've got chills. Thanks Dani for your inspiration 🙏
I even got tears due to the beatiful perfection and in total awe of his act/skillz. I'm flabbergasted.
Most card tricks I see are boring as hell. This one was super entertaining, funny, clever and flawlessly executed! I love it!
it's even more impressive when you know how it's done. so many things could have gone wrong. there's two times in particular where he had to physically grab someone's hand to prevent the trick from going awry
A close second is the card mechanic
"My English is very bad" I just can't stop laughing, truly a brilliant performance!
"Eeeeeverybody shuffle!"
His funniest joke for me was on another video, when he's making fun of Alyson's shuffle before spreading the deck he says "I do nothing". So in the other video a similar thing happened and he said "I do nothing, I'm fat (and grabs his belly), I do nothing".
My favorite thing about the video is when he finally finished the trick, nobody claps or makes a sound for a few seconds as they're trying to process what the hell just happened. Amazing!!!
Soon as Teller realized he missed the plant on the box, I knew it was 'over' - he'd already been gotten. Brilliant stuff!
2:57
Totally nonchalant misdirection while he moved that box with the card in his hand was so beautiful! Dani's moves are so clean and crisp. It brings tears to my eyes.
If you watch closely you can see the placement of the card but penn didn’t see it because there was so much going on
Definitely one of the strongest acts ever on Fool Us. So great to see not only P&T but also Alyson (who's become a bit jaded after 10 years of watching a LOT of magicians) completely enchanted, entertained and legit *destroyed.* Dani is a force of nature and a very diabolical magician.
That is when a trick is great. Penn has said it himself. He knows so much about magic he is rarely surprised by a trick so when it does happen he gets to feel that particular joy again.
@@es330td It's my opinion that the passion and love for that is exactly why they made the show. To find that rare talent that can do what Dani has done here. They obviously live for that. Thankfully, we get to go along for this ride!
@Mr Mavvy
Jaded as in tired and her constant mental health in getting mind blown by Foolers especially. Even so, she still stuck around.
@Mr Mavvy Jaded in the sense that anyone who watches a lot of magic over a many years is *much* harder to impress. Alyson has seen almost every approach and plot in magic, and she has a strong sense of the structure and grammar of magic even if she's not particularly knowledgable about all its various techniques. She's an awesome host and she knows how to play along but she can't possibly watch magic with the eyes of an average lay person. Dani completely bypassed any defenses she might have had up. He is such a disarming presence that you can almost see the moment (maybe 2 1/2 minutes in?) when she's no longer evaluating and just totally surrenders to the ride.
Alyson's reaction at the end kills me every time and I love it. Not only is she completely in shock after maybe expecting to see another average magic act, you can see her looking to Penn to see what he thought and then she realizes he is just as stunned as she is and she doesn't know what to make of that information. So wonderful to see everyone's minds just fried by the end of this.
Paraphrasing: "Here, do exactly what I said. DO ANYTHING YOU WANT, as long as its what I tell you to do." That cracked me up more than anything else.
I don careeee... becuz I don know wut I dooo
@@davidhamrich The Dunning-Kruger Effect is so fascinating. You people really have no idea how ignorant you truly are. You simply don't have the capacity to grasp that you could--gasp!--be wrong about something, or in this case, just completely dumb.
The exact reason the show was created in the first place. To see new techniques impeccably performed. Congratulations on a flawless routine.
This is a performance for an audience of one. He's taking Teller for a ride, back to the land of wonder from seeing the first card trick as a kid. He's having a conversation with a man that doesn't speak in words. He's explaining, step by step, which trick he will do, and how he will do it. Then he does it and melts Teller's mind. Also entertaining the rest of the world is a side-effect.
Being able to experience that wonder is the biggest thing magicians lose when taking up the art, and being able to do it to another magician is a mark of mastery. Chasing the feeling is the stated goal by P&T for doing the show.
Watch the video again, and look at Teller exclusively. Watch how he slowly is transformed from judge to fellow magician to spectator to kid in a candyshop. THAT is the real magic trick on display here, and it is a once-in-a-generation masterpiece.
THIS. Teller was the true audience. After the three on the box, he was a kid again! And that's a trick Teller can easily do himself, but the mastery of the movement and voice actually pulled him in. Dani made him stop burning. Incredible.
@@ricobarth yeah, the three did it. Dani performed a relatively simple trick, right under his nose, and still got it past Teller.
I didn't realize it on first viewing, but yes: that "You need to see! You need to see!" was directed straight at Teller. Awesome.
@@TheXtrafreshits not simple to locate a free choice card from a complete deck. It will take a full mastery and memorization.
@@jericcastillo4286 what I mean to say is that he is using a trick with very basic mechanics (locating a card, palming it, misdirecting attention away from placing it), but that he is so good at them that he gets to use them in new ways. It's traditional magic, but on a new level.
I have been performing magic for over 20 years. I am a member of The International Brotherhood of Magicians, The Society of American Magicians and a member of our local magic club here in Louisville, Kentucky. I myself particularly enjoy performing card tricks since a deck of cards is very easy to carry around with you. That being said, this demonstration by Dani DaOrtiz absolutely, positively blew me right out of my chair. I have no earthly clue as to how this was accomplished. I had the same reaction as Teller did when he simulated his head exploding. Great trick! Well done!
(VERY far fetched but:) I kind of think it might have something to do with hypnosis as it's quite interesting to me that the only choices that mattered were from Alison and the... other guy. Penn was asked ONCE to think of a card and it was only for a trick where it vanished and got restored, not related to finding it in the deck. Imagine Alison and ... the other guy were told beforehand exactly what to say on each step and watch the act again.
@@Panossa Hypnosis is not allowed and must be prepared beforehand to be 100% effective.
Force is the most probable explanation by elimination but how he did it is unknown.
@@trym2121 I don't think it could have been a force. I can't even conceptualize how someone would be able to find the cards after a force with other people shuffling it and everything. I was thinking while watching it that there had to be some element of mentalism, but I'm not well versed enough in mentalism to know anything to look for.
@@hollisshaffer1261 mentalism as to make a forced decision? That's a type of force
@@trym2121 I don't think of that as a force. My idea of a force is manipulating the cards.
The sleight of hand this man exhibits is so good and so smooth, even Teller was mind blown by the pure skill. Like when the 3 of hearts was put on top of the box, Teller himself CANNOT see it happen, he is even more shocked by it than everyone else because it happened in his peripheral vision. Just amazing.
This is quite literally to run circles around someone haha
This guy, Jandro, and Christian Engblom all knew Juan Tamariz… Perhaps it’s no coincidence that all three of these magicians utterly destroyed Penn and Teller. Seriously mind blowing stuff. Amazing.
Of coure it's not. The spanish school is just full of geniuses, where the average ones are above average compared to magicians outside of that country.
I was always dreaming about a card magic where almost everything is random.I thought it was impossible to execute,until this show.Literally unbelievable
Agreed. Daortiz' style is just so natural, much like his mentor Juan Tamariz. Also, for amazing random card mastery, check out Lennart Green! Another wizard with cards who appears to have never even held a deck...and miracles just happen.
This was by far the most confident, savage, brutal routine I have ever seen. Sleight of hand, IMPERCEPTABLE. Swaps in the double digits, probably? HIGH doubles, like 40-60 swaps, no one could see them. Penn, Teller, us with a magnifying glass... INVISIBLE. He could have produced a live chicken on Allison's head and asked if she feels like having eggs for breakfast, and she would have contemplated it for a full minute before he grabbed ol' Rosie off her head!
This was too funny! LOL
Loved this comment
The only one I could spot was at 6:41
If you put Teller almost on the floor you know the trick is incredible. You almost made him break character!! Well done sir!!! Unbelievable!!!
that was the most incredible card trick i have ever seen
I love how DaOrtiz acts like both the magician and a stunned observer.
This performance is my happy place.
If I ever need cheering up or if I'm feeling down. I've seen this so much I dont need to actually watch it anymore, I can just rewatch it in my head and never fails to make me happy
So damn true! This is a place of humour and genius and goodness. Long may it abide!
He really is a master at misdirection and forcing them to do exactly what he wants. Amazing!
We in Spain have always had truly masters at cardmagic, now Dani DaOrtiz is the best of them all, this guy is incredible and his magic unbelievable. Penn and Teller's reaction says it all.
Anybody that knows magic will know that Spain has the best card magicians in the world and I'm jealous.
Wow, aren't you forgetting Juan Tamaríz??
@@manusoftar Of course not, Tamariz is Dani's master and another genius.
@@fritzcolburn Card magicians AND coin magicians. Numismagic is really powerful in Spain too.
Sorry, but Juan is still the best by far
This routine is world class. I'm not even going to try to figure it out because it does not get any better than this.
Other magicians do magic. This guy *lives* magic. The performance is fractal in nature. There are tricks within tricks within tricks here. He has total control at all moments, everything has a purpose and is improvized perfectly.
And maybe most important: He does have a backup plan at every point in the trick. As you said, the performance is fractal, but I'm quite sure, even if something breaks, we would not notice it, because he would blend seamlessly into his backup.
Dani is the master of forcing. Extremely well performed. I've been performing for 8 years now thanks to Dani. I learnt all I know from him. Simplemente GRACIAS y saludos desde Argentina.
Not only is he fantastic with his sleight of hand but his act was so lighthearted and hilarious. A true showman in every respect.
I was having a bad day today and now I'm happy and smiling!
Yeah not only was it one jaw-dropping trick after another it was also incredibly entertaining from start to finish!
Do you know how the tricks are done?
@@L.Z.- yes u have to perform the ancient spanish ritual called cat incomplete meow meow
So many good vibes coming from him. An absolute joy to watch!!
Now that's what i call a class act: professional, baffling, entertaining, funny with a crazy rythme. Good job Danni, i loved it!
This has to be one of the most impressive magic tricks ever done its so long yet it's executed perfectly and everyone is laughing and smiling the whole time.
I have returned to this video many times, and enjoy it thoroughly each time. Beyond the amazing sleight of hand, my favorite part is how effortlessly funny and entertaining Dani is during the entire routine. So many magicians try to be "funny" through forced patter and hacky jokes, but Dani is just genuinely charismatic and lets his personality shine through.
I have seen Pen and Teller be "amazed" many times.. But very rarely are they actually AMAZED...This is one of those rare times!!!!👏
lol "Amazed" hell, he made Teller about fall out!
I have been waiting for this moment and love that P&T did not even bother to delay the trophy. Even when Dani tells you how he does it, he is still magic.
its happened before
There are magicians nowadays who also do cardistry, showing off their dexterity. But the best magicians in the world, the classic magicians, do magic in a way that makes it seem like it’s just “happening” to them; like they are just along for the ride just like we are. Dani does that better than anyone else.
What are they feeding you guys in Spain? Every single magician from Spain is mind blowing on a level so far above any other country in the world.
Spain is the true capital of Magic
This is pure art. I don’t think I have ever seen this level of close up magic before…
This is hands down the greatest magic I've seen in my life. Fool Us or any other show on television. This man is absolutely astounding!!
Dani Daortiz ...unbelievable!! Absolutely blown away!
I can't recall the last time I've seen Penn & Teller be so absolutely gobsmacked! I watched in again...and for a third time. It gets better every time.
True magic! Harry Potter has nothing on you! :D
Wow, the Spanish magicians are on a whole different level from everyone else! Very impressive!
dumb thing to say.
@@Kjhd9987hy I've watched almost every episode of every season of Fool Us. I don't remember all the magicians' names, but it seems like every time they have a magician from Spain, that magician has an amazing trick that's on a higher level than the tricks from most other magicians on the show. (Jandro is one example who comes to mind, but he's not the only one.)
That's my opinion. If you come to a different conclusion, that's fine.
So true.
@@Paul71H Javi Benitez is another one from Spain who fooled them, too.
@@Paul71H Mario Lopez also
Can't believe Donny Osmund just took out another man's deck and starting playing with it on stage.
Dani is a god among card magicians, he just makes the experience so entertaining
I don't even have words to how incredibly amazing that was. Card magic often seems rigid to me, but your performance was extremely fluid, giving the impression that you don't even have to follow any rules, you can just do anything you want and magic will inevitably happen. And to give that impression in front of experienced magicians and having them handle the cards is even more amazing.
I really hope I could be able to see your show live some day!
This is spot on. Dani's technical skill has to be very high as well as the amount of innovation in the trick, but what's just as amazing is how natural he lets a card trick flow as just some fun, which is very hard to do because card tricks often seem so overdone.
I showed this to my wife last night. She isn't interested in magic like I am. I am happy to report she sat in awe and amazement and now is interested in magic. Well done,, Sir.

To make Penn and Teller joyful like little kids right in front of your hands shows how really good you are… amazing.
I'm with all three of them. I'm never going to slow the video down, try and watch for any and every move, or try and keep up with this beautifully crafted maniac. I'm just going to watch it over and over and smile at how awesome this magician is.
But the most amazing part of this trick is that it even fools people that know where to check the moves.
Thats the difference between a good trick and a masterpiece of a trick.
At the eyes of someone who doesnt know the basics of magic both may look the same. Since both tricks, the mediocre and the great can have the same effect and explanation: 'Its just magic'
What is truly amazing is see magicians or people with knowledge getting mindfucked because the only explanation of a trick is a level of mastery and control that is so out of this world that they second guess themselves if its even possible.
The balls of that move from 2:50 onwards is insane. Right in front of Pen and Tellers face and they didn't even notice. That's some real crowd control right there.
P&T are masters of misdirection. In particular, Penn is master of the flashy showmanship and Teller is master of the sneaky. Dani does both of those, right in front of their faces, and neither notices. That look on Teller's face tells me, "Well, damn. I should've seen that. I think I did see that. I didn't see that. He actually got me. Like, actually." And then Penn's audible gasp/inhale at the realization.... Easily one of the top 3 moments in this act!
I think Penn notices the card on the box. He looks down and smiles a little.
@@Arifmeticus I'd like to believe that he just looked at the card spread, but it's kinda hard to tell imo. Can be either way.
I think he only looks down at the card spread. Before that he was making eye contact.
And he even seems to glance at the camera for a second right after!
The best part of this is watching Teller's reaction while getting his mind blown.
The Greatest Ever Performance in the History of Fool Us. The sheer astonishment and natural joy on everyone's face during the entire length of the performance is enough to justify the claim made at the start. Dani Sir, you are simply extraordinary! Kudos for learning an art, and taking it to the next level that others can only aspire to achieve!
Simplemente Extraordinaire Dani!
I've watched this 100 plus times and it brings me joy every time. Best routine ever. Amazing. ❤
Same, i have watched this at least 200 times I think hahhaa
Same here! It’s amazing
There's a lot of amazing stuff here, but the speed at which he locates and reveals the 2 of Clubs after Donny selects it is astounding.
Agreed. It shocked me how fast he got it. A true master.
Sometimes the magician gets lucky
@@jannthomsen2760 out of 52 possibilities, and dani is lucky. Yeah, sounds possible
Yeah the speed at which he's doing pass is _insane_ (think Kostya Kimlat's RC in terms of how difficult it must be to master - if you watch his performance you see that Peen gets angry at Kostya _because_ he tried to learn the method and he can't do it).
@@kharismaulana5665 it’s called 2% chance and multiple outs
That might actually be one of the greatest card tricks ever performed. Shin Lim included.
That was absolutely stunning. I will have to watch that a few times. A work of art. I love teller’s face….
There’s no doubt he psychologically played them. But being enthralled, it was easy to fool them. The guy is the best.
"That might actually be one of the greatest card tricks ever performed. Shin Lim included."
I was literally thinking EXACTLY this.
Shin Lim is an amateur compared to DaOrtiz
@@w00master shin Is more of a stage magician but his also very good with sleight of hand. Dani is amazing
@@NT_1 I'm always more impressed by actual Close-Up Magicians than Stage Close-Up Magicians. If Shim tried to do his act in an actual close-up environment (not stage controlled like he has it). None of his "magic" would pass muster.
@@w00master That is true. But who knows maybe Shin lim probably knows some really good closeup acts as well.
I'm really into closeup card magic. Lookup Tony Chang and Earnest Ericks Legendary book 'By Forces Unseen' (most likely you've heard of them).
I'm studying that book and it is ELITE sleight of hand.
in my two years of watching multiple penn & teller clips, seeing them perform in vegas.. how have i not seen this routine?!! i am in tears from laughter, my jaw is on the floor from the performance and my mind is blown.
Penn and Teller were not lying! In the fine tradition of Juan Tamariz, Javi Benitez, and Jandro; Spanish card magicians rule the roost!
This was the best card trick I've seen. I have watched most of Penn and Teller guests. This was unbelievable.
Speechless and in tears. For the first time ever after seeing a cardtrick.
Almost the same feeling I got when watching the first Jurassic Park movie and the dinosaurs felt so real.
Here magic felt real. It was beatiful.
Thank you for making this almost 50 year old guy feel like a kid again in a world full of wonders. :)
That is what magic is all about, sharing this is the best
I was fortunate enough to have him visit a show in my home town in Bulgaria last week and he performed a longer version of this trick... it was amazing!!! You sir bring smiles to people faces!
"he performed a longer version of this trick"
Now, the question is did he perform a longer version of the trick or did he perform the same version but it just took longer because the people choosing the cards weren't choosing what he was trying to get them to choose and so he needed to play "bumbling foreign magician" act a lot more until they finally did and he could end it?
I don’t know how but this act made me feel like a child again!!!!
This is just one of the most beautiful and entertaining performances in the history of Fool Us, and knowing that he wasn't't even scheduled to do it is completely mind-blowing to me. I had to know how it was done so I bought Dani's walkthrough / explainer video, and now that I know... it's even better to watch. Somehow it is even more magical now. Absolutely incredible. What a phenomenal entertainer!
Agreed! Knowing how much is in his control (and how much is out of his control!) only heightens the viewing experience. PILLARS!
Can you give an explanation that does not actually give anything away? Like how high the skill ceiling of this trick is etc.?
Agreed! It’s such a blast to perform “the ritual.”
To quote Conor Mcgregor: “Ireland, it’s good to be back!”
Allison wasn’t there just to take part, she was there to take over. What a magical genius
@@a.s.8671 Dani mentioned on an hour long video with Javi Benitez that he has done/practiced this trick thousands of times. The first half is all improvised based upon what is selected, where the box is and how people respond. The ritual also has backups as well if needed. Can anyone perform the ritual with practice? Sure. Skill level to perform flawlessly on television with 2 master magicians at the table? Probably just him in the world.
That's genuinely the most astonishing magic trick I've ever seen, and over 40 decades I've seen a lot of magic tricks. I'm sat here feeling like I've watched real magic. I don't even want to know how it's done
that's exactly how I feel too
400 years hm? Sounds like you are the best magician...
Are you a vampire?
The three of hearts on the box is the easiest part to figure out, but he did it so naturally that nobody saw it coming.
I think usually Penn watches one hand while Teller watches the other hand for these simple misdetection, but the performance is so captivating that this simple misdirect delights everyone. I went back and rewound it several times and it's amazing.😊
After watching a video exposing these tricks, as well as Dani's post-performance interview, I still find myself coming back to this video almost daily. It's such an impressive feat, especially knowing how many hiccups there were in this performance that he just smoothes over like they're not even there. I just really love this performance.
Probably one of the best and worst thing about performance art is screwing up. The difference between a novice and a master is whether or not you notice the mistake.
What's so magical about this is not the card tricks themselves, but Dani. He's got a big heart and it shows. I enjoyed him as a performer more than the magic itself.
My already overloaded brain cried out in agony @4:53 when he said "This is nothing... this is not the trick." In addition to being absolutely amazing, it was one of the funniest things I've ever experienced.
I appreciate the joy this brought me. Needed it today.
I hope this show never goes off the air, P&T are bringing magic from all over the world to a wider audience. It’s so beautiful and positive to see. Congrats!
This is one of the best card trick routines I've seen on fool us!!!
thats because it is the best trick in the world
I've watched dozen, probably hundreds of acts on P&T and this one is by far the most entertaining, amazing, mind bending performance I've ever seen.
Spectacular set, he is so charismatic! During the whole performance the 4 participants were either laughing their hearts out or simply stunned! Also, when he said "MAYBE six, it's your life" (07:12 in the chaotic phase of the trick) I lost my shit :D
How is it even possible.
He didnt touch the card.
He didnt choose the card and number.
He had no impact to the deck of cards but still managed to get what card they wanted.
Absolutly insane performance
He's not only a good magician he has an excellent understanding of psychology and how the brain remembers things
The force is strong with this one. That's the only explanation I have. Absolutely incredible!
Alyson is often always in on many of the tricks shown there. The one who gave the number, came with him and was not Penn or teller. I feel like this is the trick.
@@whatsappvideos9665 no, this doesn't require stooges. It's completely impromptu
@@JB_inks You can't take such chances..... actually, he did check what the card was, for he didn't know!
I've been into card magic for 28 years now, and the that last one (JH) just destroyed me! I love that people like the caliber of Dani can make me feel like a layman again...this feeling I have right now, after watching this set, is the reason I got into magic! God bless
yes but some of the tricks simply involve people secretly playing a part in the trick or its set up. in other words we are fooled to believe the authenticity of P&T.
@@danielhommers3995 it's not a stooge I know that much (although good idea), I rewatched it and then got it, very very very clever, cheers
@@aethanfriday3568 A lot of magicians do an AC/AL routine where they can take advantage of hitting a 1 in 52 highroll, and cut the routine short when there normally would be another reveal. This feels like we just witnessed someone hit the jackpot in one of those routines.
@@G.Aaron.Fisher this isnt THE aaron fisher, is it?
Yeah I hear what you're saying, yeah maybe...ill just leave it at that because it's magic : )
@@G.Aaron.Fisher nah it's not an out, it should work every time, he taught something similar using the same method in Borrowed Deck Miracles on vanishing inc so I know the method and it's super clever but does work every time (if you do it right)
such a highwire act. so many moments could have gone wrong that one could find it hard to believe he could do this routine consistently. but somehow i feel like this guy clutches it out every time no matter what happens. total control.
His hour-long interview on his channel goes into how it almost went wrong so many times! From Donny Osmond grabbing the deck at the start, to Alyson Hannigan not following instructions well on shuffling and dealing the cards into the pile (you can see that he peeks the jack of hearts before finishing the trick in case it landed on the wrong card and he was prepared to improvise a different ending). The whole time he's in control. Truly a masterclass on control of the participants, as well as the cards.
I’ve seen so many times this show but I never get tired to see it once more. Bravo Dani!
Incredible! So well deserved..! Great moment spent, thank you VERY MUCH
ABSOLUTELY ASTOUNDING. And the most beautiful and astounding part is your mother's dedication to supporting your art. She is the real magician.... she made you and recognized your talent. Pure inspiration. Some the best magic I have seen in 3.5 decades of following magic.
Unseen forces behind his card magic. Unbelievable for sure
Debatably the best all time act on Fool Us. Shin Lim’s definitely had the grandeur and artistic talent in addition to skill, but I’ve never seen Penn and Teller have their minds blown this hard.
Maybe from Kostya Kimlats first appearance, but he only did one amazing effect rather than several
Yeah and with Kostya, you could see Penn catch the moment that he knew the trick took place, he just couldn't explain it. With this guy, THEY SAW NOTHING!
I liked Boris wilds
At 10:10 he is calling him "the greatest, the greatest".
Also, there is a video in which Penn calls him the greatest card magician of all times, even above Tamariz (who is Daortiz teacher since he was a kid).

I am sad that I can only like this video once!
Everybody in the magic community is saying it and I'm joining.
This is the greatest card magic trick of all time.
I feel so lucky that I clicked Penn's Sunday School and it brought me here.
My mind is blowing at 4am.
It was the funniest and most surreal magic I've ever seen.
Protect this man at all costs
Wow, that was incredible! Thank you for sharing it with us!
putting the 3 of hearts on the card box with no one noticing was just incredible. I watched that several times over and was mesmerized with how smooth that was and how good you are at distraction.
