Sal is a personal friend of mine.his lectures on gambling and mentalism are the very best......Sal is the real deal , his material is for the real world Ortiz is excellent but his material is for magicians not the real world, apples and oranges..
Sal will be comming to San pedro california in the near future for a two day lecture on gambling and mentalism I also expect Mickey Silver to be on hand doing perhaps his first lecture on coins..
Il will keep every one posted when I know this will happen for sure..

Hi Vinny,

I do envy you. Its not the first time I wished I lived in the USA. I am a great fan of Darwin Ortiz and think he is a creative genius with card magic and gambling routines. But somehow I too have the impression that he is an excellent entertainer and a magicians magician with a wealth of gambling moves rather than a casino gambling expert whose knowledge has been slowly built up over years of working full time in the industry.

Regards,
