(Based on 1 review)
Volume 6.
V.I.S.A - Visual Instant Static Attraction. Instantly cause the magnetic strips on two credit cards to ACTUALLY become magnetized, attracting and repelling each other.
One Point Production 2.0 - An extremely visual production of a single card that can be performed all in-the-hands!
Pop - Magically cause a signed playing card to appear INSIDE of a balloon that the spectator has inflated and is holding.
Vortex - Cause a selected signed card to appear BETWEEN a spectators hands without touching them
Ham and Cheese 2.0 - A revamped version of Daniel Garcia's classic effect "White or Wheat" all done in the spectators hands! Magically cause a signed card to appear between two jokers INSTANTLY and VISUALLY.
Static Sandwich - A magical combination of "V.I.S.A" and "Ham and Cheese 2.0" where a selected card visually flies out of the deck and is caught between the two jokers as if attracted my a magnetic force.
On The Rocks - One of the most visual coin through glass effects you will ever learn with NO EXTRA coins!
Tric-Tac - Visually change the color of every single Tic-Tac in the container and IMMEDIATELY let the spectator examine everything.
iATM - Included on this DVD is the bonus files to magically pull money out of your iPhone. NO APP NEEDED
The OK Coin Vanish - Seen on volume two of The Daniel Garcia Project, but not taught, now learn Daniel's one handed coin vanish. Complete with alternate handling.

The first is that I think there’s something for everyone on each of these DVDs. In fact, I tended to like the mythologically simpler routines the best!
The second is that, while there’s something for everyone, the bulk of the material is going to require some skill with cards or coins (or both). If that’s your thing, you’re going to have a lot to choose from. If not, I would argue that the few non-techie pieces are worth the price of the DVD.
The third is my one and only frustration with these DVDs. There’s a timer / scrub bar that runs during most of the video segments. I honestly don’t know why it’s there. I can see where I am in the video using my DVD or computer video player… and it’s distracting and even visually in the way of the material at times.
Now on to the effects…
Visa is easily my favorite effect on this DVD. That’s partially a personal thing because I’m drawn to “magnetic” premises. But it’s also just a really cool, impromptu bit of weirdness that uses borrowed objects… and makes sense (well, sort-of, the magnetic strips on credit cards aren’t actually magnetic; but close enough for an engaging premise).
Pop is not original in method, but it’s a really strong effect (and method). Daniel has added some simple, but very effective touches.
If you love sandwich routines (of the card variety), you’ll find several really good effects here. One is done in a participant’s hands. Another has a very interesting premise (magnetism, again).
On the Rocks is a simple coin through glass but the method is almost impossibly devious. You just have to try it to prove to yourself that it works and looks as good as it does.
If you like effects with non-standard magic props, check out Trick Tac. It even has a realistic premise that could lead you to some really interesting presentational angles. I’m definitely going to make one up.
iATM is yet another in the series of iPhone tricks. Like I’ve said before, it may need a bit of additional messing around to make work with modern phones, but it’s still totally viable. And this one uses money, which makes a lot more sense to me. NOW I’ll take the time to get it working so it’s on hand when an appropriate time arises.
