Darwin Ortiz At The Card Table

We're very happy to announce that Darwin Ortiz At The Card Table is finally back in print! Long sought after and fetching sky-high prices on the second hand market, some feel this was Darwin's best work!

It contains many routines which have become classics (and spawned many variations of their own) including Jumping Gemini, The Dream Card, and Modern Jazz Aces.

Like the Erdnase text it's name is inspired by, the book is divided into two sections, one being designated for Darwin's gambling magic routines, the other for his more traditional legerdemain. From Darwin's Three Card Monte routine, to his Wild Card routine, to his multiple selection routine (The Nine Card Location) there's something for every card lover here!

While most of the book is advanced magic, there are a handful of relatively easy routines in the book. This book also includes The Si Stebbins Secret, a technique for shuffling a brand-new deck into Si Stebbins order.

Hardbound, 168 pages. Full list of contents below.
