Darwin, thanks so much for letting us know. I will be on the lookout for a copy for sale.

Darwin,
When are you going to reprint Ricardo's Card Artifice and can you explain why you published it under the pseudonym Frank Pemper? Jason

So that we can get this thread back on topic....
If there are any of Darwin's books that you don't already own you should drop whatever else it is you're doing and PM him here on the Café to see if they're available directly from him. Some of them may be available, others will be out of print. If you can't get a particular title directly from Darwin, then it's okay to look to the secondary market (eBay, etc) unless he tells you that a reprint is forthcoming, in which case you should wait to get it directly from Darwin. I've said this before at lectures but I'll repeat it here: All of Darwin's books are must-haves if you like modern card magic. It's as simple as that. Even if by some unfortunate miracle you don't care for any of his routines, you'll still learn a ton from studying his structure, design and presentational ideas. And while Darwin has a reputation for difficult sleight-of-hand, many (maybe even most) of his routines are well within the grasp of intermediate card workers. They're not all center deals and riffle stacking routines (though that would be sweet). Furthermore, his "Performance Tips" and "Comments" or "Analysis" sections after each of his effects are fascinating and insightful. Hell, I'd pay good money for a book from Darwin of nothing but performance tips and analysis of other people's routines! I'd love to hear what he had to say about Triumph, The Invisible Palm, The Travelers, Out of this World, etc. (Are you listening Darwin?) In short, you owe it to yourself to keep an eye on this thread for news on upcoming reprints, and to watch for future Darwin Ortiz projects. That is all. Jason

I would love to get my hands on At the card table and Cardshark! Lessons in card mastery is absolutely one of the best books I've ever read. I was contemplating about paying 200$ on ebay for At the card table , happy that it might be reprinted.

However, I must tell you that Darwin Ortiz at the Card Table won't be reprinted anytime soon. In the meantime, Scams and Fantasies with Cards is still in print. I can almost guarantee that you'll like it every bit as much as Lessons in Card Mastery. (If you can't find it at your dealer's, you can order an autographed copy directly from me.)

An autographed copy of Scams and Fantasies would rock my world. I'll try and find if I have someone returning from USA or order it from you when I do come there as I'm in India currently and I don't trust the way customs are handled here, it's a big hassle.
So, At the card table won't be reprinted soon, and the same for Cardshark? |

Since Cardshark is out of print, I'm waiting for the Spanish translation of it, "Tahur", from 'Paginas' in Spain. I think it's the best second thing to have, if the original in English is not available...
