Hello everyone I was watching a video on YouTube of a magician named Daniel Fernandez the first half of the performance I understand how he did, but the second half of the performance he told Ryan Reynolds to think of a card and he pulled the predicted card out of his pocket is it a marketed effect? If not can you learn that effect from a book and if so what book.

Dear Nirty...There is no such thing as a "marketed effect". No effects can be learned from a book dvd, or person.

The EFFECT is what the spectator(s) perceive(s) when the magician performs a trick.

OK let me rephrase my question. Is there a method one can learn that give you the same effect as in the video?

I'm sure that there is! However, although I'm a retired professional performer (70 years)and have known many world class cardicians, I'm not one.

Several "forums" down there are two card forums. I would suggest that you ask there, if you don't get a response from someone here.

Have you checked in at the New Arrivals? I'm sure that someone there also, will help you.

Hi nirtynirt,
Welcome to the Café.

So I don't know anything about you, so I will assume nothing. That said, you will find many people here who are very open to sharing with you what they know about practicing magic. And I say "practicing" with reverence, as there are many seasoned and talented professionals...and amateurs...who will share their live's learnings here at no charge. That is a wealth of knowledge given to you at no expense, thanks to this forum and those who contribute.

But if someone comes here for the sole reason of obtaining the secret of one effect he or she has seen on YouTube, or anywhere for that matter...please move on and look elsewhere. This isn't the place for you. If you are seeking the secret of a singular effect that you saw that blew your mind, and you have to learn it to show to your friends...there are better places than this to find what you are looking for.

Come here when you are ready to learn about magic. There are a lot of experienced folks...like Mr. Oslund...who will give you sage advice to guide you forward if you really care about magic. If you only care about a single trick...that's all you'll be.
