Daniel Prado is also famous for his innovative magic theory – here's a sneak peek at what you'll learn…

The Tesseract theory is a modern theory of magic that is based upon four elemental theories: the art of impossibility, from Charles Reynolds; Ascanio’s theories of doubt and certainty in magic; Juan Tamariz’s theories on invisibility and his principles of paradox.

Daniel has created a consistent argument that synthesizes these four theories into one new and unified idea.

Tesseract is about perspective of methods and details, providing tools to better instruct the mind of their audiences, giving magicians practical and advanced techniques that will help them improve their craft.

This lecture will provide one of the most useful guides for magicians to shape methods and techniques into a refined piece that will deceive the audiences.

Using his original techniques, effects and his creative approach to magical principles, Daniel gives a lecture like no other.
