Open Triumph

Anonymous

This is a trick that blew me away the first time I saw the performance. Unfortunatley, that first time, I was muting my computer so I never heard the patter (which I have trouble calling patter, it seems pejorative). I watched it again several times and I figured out the base of the effect, the shuffle that was used remained a mystery on the other hand and that annoyed me greatly.



Then, a few days later, I looked this up again and heard DaOrtiz' words. It actually touched me and I was immediately captivated by this new style of story magic. I bought it soon afterwards and Dani's teachings were amazing: ranging from the smoothness of his card handling to the brilliance of his patter.



Even if you sort of figured out the effect, buy this: you will not regret it. This is more than a magic trick, it's what Dani said: a "hommage to Dai Vernon". You get an incredible effect and a context that will captivate your audiences to the full extent.

Triumph is the classic effect that every magicians must have at least heard about it. I saw many triumph effects, and this is the best. Others effect only allow you to show that there are cards face to back, face to face, or back to back. But this Open triumph allows you to show that the cards are really mixed. And then in a blink of an eye, the cards became separated.



The effect is very natural, when you perform it right, this will be a killer effect among all card tricks.



The down point of the trick is only that you can not give the deck to spectators. But who cares! It's normal not giving them deck, you end the trick clean enough, and no one will ask you to look at the deck.



Also, in this tutorial, he also teaches the red/black version of this trick, which also based on the same principle. But only a little minor change of handling. Because the bonus effect doesn't need a selected card.

Dani is so good in this one! I just don't know where he got this idea from! This is the most fair and visual triumph I've seen to date. If you want to fool not only a layman but a magician, add this to cart and astonish EVERYONE!!

I first encountered this triumph routine in DaOrtiz's Collection collection, "Utopia." This instantly became my go to triumph routine as it not too difficult and the effect is instant. Most triumph routines include a shuffle and a display of the cards back in their correct positions. However, open triumph includes shuffles to mix the cards face up and face down, then a display of the chaos within the deck, which is instantly followed by the display of the cards in their original positions. Beyond what the spectators sees, this trick is an ideal representation of what all magic should be like. There is a big difference between what the spectator sees and what you (the magician) see. The concept utilized by DaOrtiz in this effect has inspired me to think more along what you want the audience to believe instead of thinking about what the trick should be.

Do not underestimate this trick! My brother is a magician and i performed this trick to him. He said he would be satisfied with his magic career if this was the only trick in his repetoire. A magician fooler, an amazing trick!

When I saw this I was speechless and I watched it over and over again and I couldn't figure it out! There are so many triumph routines out there and this one really stood out to me! The method is great and once you know how its done its almost too simple but it fools everyone if done correctly! Dani is a great performer and teacher and by buying this fantastic trick you are not doing anything wrong. This instantly became one of my go to triumph effects and you should learn it too!

There are dozens of Triumph routines, but this one is a clean, standup version that can work in all situations. Instructions are clear and easy to follow, from the master cardist himself.

If you can do a decent fan this would be a nice addition to your repertoire. Not particularly difficult but a little finicky, nothing that can't be smoothed out with time.

This version of Triumph is killer, totally baffling for magicians as well as run-of-the-mill spectators. The teaching is first rate, and it's relatively easy to do. Talk about eye candy!

This is Amazing. at first i thought it felt really unnatural but as i practiced and practiced it actually became natural so if you're not sure if you should buy then i can tell you that you should really buy it :D

I really enjoyed this demonstration and short explanation of Dani's version of Triumph. It's a different take, but the psychology and casual manner make it really strong. It is not a far reach to perform this strolling if needed & thoughts are given on how to perform in a strolling or close-up tabletop environment. Highly recommend if you are looking for a different approach on a classic of magic.

This is a great effect. Keep in mind that this is for advanced magicians, but if you are advanced, it won't be difficult to master. With this version of Triumph, there are some disadvantages, but Dani adds something that the original version didn't have. It really feels like CHAOS to ORDER in the blink of an eye.

Really visual triumph, good instructions. The only "complaint" is that Dani does not teach a clean up after the effect, you do not end up clean. I like handing the deck out for inspection or for shuffling by the spectators. After this trick that is not possible. It is the only thing I would like added to this download.

The effect itself is brilliant, however the instruction was incredibly difficult to understand. I had to watch the video about 10 times in a row and learn by watching. English is not his first language, which is understandable, however they should have chosen someone else to explain the effect. To this day I am not even sure if I am performing it correctly.

My concern is not with Dani Daortiz' language or accent. I could understand him with no problems. My problem is with the CONTENT od the explanation. First, I feel that at least one part was omitted, that being the first suffle at the begining. That was completely omitted. Secondly, after several attempts at following the directions, I still can't get it. And this is the very first review that I give a thumbs down review. A beautiful effect that is not fully explained. I'm still going to try this explanation but for now I'm thinking that I misth try Asi Wind's effect.
