Now that the CardShark is reprinted, I request Mr. Ortiz to publish "At The Card Table" book again.
Please cast your vote if you are interested in a reprint. Thanks! |

Johnstu,
I totally agree with magicfish for a very simple reason, that it might be completely different from his reasons: this type of card magic is very,very, very old. Have you seen recently some video of Mr. Ortiz ? Have you notice how tense are the body, the hands and the performance ? I hardly believe that the Spanish school has closed this type of magic in the past and a new way of doing miracles is alive: none will tell to Tamariz or DaOrtiz how goods are playing with cards and do their stuff quickly, because their approach is completely different and, sincerely, more difficult to do but more magical. These are the new masters to study, so the old book can stay where it is, because it has already given to us what he could give. My two cents. |

Many of the old manuscripts fry today's audience. The Spanish school of thought is great but it is not the only school. There are other equally effective schools that come from a different philosophy and Darwin Ortiz's material is solid! Just look at Cardshark which was recently become available again. It contains some of the strongest card magic there is. Adapt the content to your personality and all will be new again . Now back to the request!! "At the Card Table" please... |

If you don’t like Darwin’s performance style that’s your opinion and I have no business in trying to talk you out of that, but his tricks are solid and well thought out. You get insight into that thinking by reading his books and you are perfectly welcome, in fact I’m sure Darwin would actively encourage you, to adapt those tricks to your own performance style.

I've actually already got a copy, but if it were to be reprinted, I think I'd buy another one. Firstly for the signature. I've already got Cardshark and Lessons in Card Mastery autographed so it'd be nice to add At the Card Table to the list. Also, Darwin said in the Cardshark thread that after that short run ran out, he has no plans to ever reprint it again. I would think that the same thing would be applied to this book. In which case, I could probably end up selling my first copy for way more than I bought it for in a few years
