Hi,
There have been rumors for a while now that I was working on a new card book in the mode of Cardshark, Darwin Ortiz at the Card Table, and Scams & Fantasies with Cards. The rumors are true. Up until now I have avoided the inquiries I’ve gotten about this because I didn’t want to create interest before the project was in its final stage. That final stage has arrived. The book is called Lessons in Card Mastery. It contains thirty card effects. It will retail for $55. It will be very similar to my previous card books, although slightly larger. In addition to the regular edition, there will also be a Deluxe Collectors' Edition. It is limited to 100 numbered, signed copies, bound in bonded leather, in a custom slipcase, with a bound-in ribbon bookmark. The price for this limited edition will be $110. Those who order earliest will receive the lowest numbered copies and when they’re gone, they’re gone. I should have copies available for shipping in about five weeks. Between now and then, I will accept pre-orders. If you pre-order, I’ll have a mailer addressed to you and ready to go so that your book will ship the moment I receive copies from the printer. As a thank-you to anyone who pre-orders, I will pay domestic shipping on the regular edition. (Unfortunately, I can’t make the same offer for overseas orders or limited-edition orders.) I will also autograph each copy (unless you request otherwise). I you want to pre-order, email me at the address in my signature. Sincerely, Darwin Ortiz |

That's great news Darwin. Will this book also have a mix of gambling and non-gambling effects/routines?

It also contains several effects that, while not gambling routines, could be considered skill demonstrations. The bulk of the effects are, of course, card magic. |

The book is 281 pages in the same oversize format as my other card books. It contains about 280 illustrations by Tony Dunn and is published by Ortiz Publications.
I won’t list the table of contents only because I really don’t think it will provide any insights, except perhaps into my taste in movies. As with my previous books, many of the trick titles are obscure movie titles. |

Keep in mind that overseas magic dealers also have to pay to have books shipped to them from the U.S. They usually incorporate that cost into the price they charge. That said, I can’t say how the costs would compare buying from me vs. buying from a dealer in your country. |

Will the pre- order deal apply to Canada?

Unfortunately, I can’t afford to cover the cost of shipping to Canada. So, if you’re Canadian, the only advantages of pre-ordering are that the book will be personally autographed to you and will be shipped to you the moment that I receive it from the printer.

I am really excited to see this book finally come to light.
I have been privileged to see many of these effects from Darwin long before I new he was writing a new book. When he asked me to read the book in draft form, I was blown away by the sheer quality of the material. Many of the effects that I had seen are included plus new routines that are simply 'breathtaking'. In reading through the draft, it occurred to me that this new book could well be his finest to date. It represent a quantum leap in quality, creativity, intellectual analysis and sheer value for money. It is no secret that I am big fan of Darwin's books and have been long before I became one of his students. I make no apology for my enthusiasm for his latest contribution to the subject of card magic. I feel the title of this book lives up to claim, 'Lessons in Card Mastery' is your opportunity to take your studies to a post graduate level, do it, you will not be disappointed.

That said, I will buy any Darwin Ortiz book sight unseen; the same applies to your material and a handful of others. I am hoping that EU dealers won't kill us on the price 
With deep respect, Vlad |
