This IS very good news. It looks like anyone near the Metropolitan Detroit Area will get a chance to see Darwin perform some of these effects live at the Motor City Close-Up Convention in just four short weeks.
I know that I am very excited about seeing Darwin. If you are able, try to attend and spend some time with Darwin. Information regarding the convention can be found at: http://www.johnlukamagic.com/convention_main.html |

I look forward to get my hands on this book, I have all Darwins books and they are my favourites.
When I perform cardmagic from Darwins books I get great reactions every time. |

But, as of now, it seems likely that anyone who wants to learn all the effects in this book will have to own the book. Thanks for your kind words about my earlier books. Once again, anyone who wants to pre-order Lessons in Card Mastery should email me at the address in my signature. Sincerely, Darwin Ortiz |

Hi Darwin
I have always purchased your DVD sets and they have always been an indispensible learning aid to go along with your books. How has the DVD market changed? I see new sets of DVDs released all the time. I assume DVDs sell or else we would see less and not more DVDs being released. Am I missing something? Thank you. |

Sounds good, I love books as I am from the old school of book collectors. But I also love DVDS as well, and better yet books that come with a companion DVD kinda like the Definitive Sankey set, or two DVDS for the deluxe set. I don't see how the market has shrunk and most these days want DVDS as they are more "visual" and are better for teaching timing of sleights and moves. I also love watching the presentation of other magicians. Books just give you a lot more info for the price but I love both combined for the best overall learning tool.
The great trouble with magicians is the fact that they believe when they have bought a certain trick or piece of apparatus, and know the method or procedure, that they are full-fledged mystifiers. -- Harry Houdini

Hi Pierredan,
I’m not an expert on the DVD market and won’t pretend to be. It seems to me, however, that the major DVD companies are releasing ever fewer DVD sets of the kind I’ve made in the past. I suspect that the main reason is bootlegging. Again, I can’t say what the future holds, but I have no present plans of making a DVD set to accompany Lessons in Card Mastery. Sincerely, Darwin Ortiz |

Having read Darwin's new book in draft form, I experienced a personal sense of achievement and fulfilment at having learnt many of the routines from the printed page.
Not only that, this new book has stimulated my creativity in ways I could not have predicted. Darwin's writing style and teaching ability is the absolute best in this new book. I am excited for anyone out there who loves elegantly crafted card magic. This books delivers. Michael Vincent London

There will be the effects which were shown in your latest DVD series 'Nothing but the Best'? Or the 2nd International Magic Lecture 'Practically Impossible'?

The effects that appeared in my two sets of lecture notes are included in the new book. Needless to say, they are taught in much greater detail.
Also, anyone who wants to learn “Best of the Best,” the gambling routine that appeared as a “performance only” item in my Nothing But the Best DVD set, will find it taught in Lessons in Card Mastery. Sincerely, Darwin Ortiz |

No plans for reprinting your previous books? At the Card Table and the Cardshark. Although I have them all, I'm sure there are loads of magicians who would want them as I did.

The essay in Scams & Fantasies was just amazing. Will there be any essay in this book?

However, the commentaries at the end of each effect are quite extensive. In many cases they are, in effect, mini-essays. I believe that many of these commentaries can help magicians improve their magic even if they don’t perform the specific effect in question. |
