Quote of the Week: Dani DaOrtiz


 


Dani is not only a hyper powerful Magician, but most important, a kind human being. This quote comes from this fantastic conversation.


Normally when we talk about technique, we only assume billet tears, switches, secret actions and "core methods" but that is a highly reductionistic perspective. As I say in my Birreal an Tree Model work, EVERYTHING is technique and Dani clearly understands that as soon as you see his performance.

HE is the meta-technique in which all fantastic sleight of hand and sleight of mind occur. Yes, he is fantastic with his prestidigitation but that is nothing if you appreciate his timing, his psychological nuance and all the subtle and sophisticated aspects of his work.

Is your personality your best technique?

If you reach a deep level of authenticity in your performance, you will understand what Dani is talking about. All masters in Mystery Performance (David Berglas, Kenton Knepper, Max Maven, Dunninger, etc) applied boldness as a fundamental principle for a simple reason, because it works.

Thanks Dani for your practical wisdom!
