I've been doing card magic for some 60 years. I know lots about forces, card location, and control. I've found, however, that what most people remember about a card trick is the method of revelation. I have about a dozen methods that I use frequently. I've had people tell me, "you've showed me that trick before," because the revelation was the same, even though the trick was different. I've been looking for a book or video that offer new methods of revelations. If that's what you're looking for, this is it! No long-winded explanations, just bang-bang-bang alternative ways to reveal a selected card.

Some of the finest card magic plots are contained in this series, along with dramatic revelations. There is one goal and its achieved: audience entertainment.

In the OLD days, you'd have to go through hundreds, thousands of books and publications to find these gems. The good news is that Daryl has done that for you!

You can develop a small card magic set, or build an entire act ( Jon Armstrong and Darwin Ortiz have earned their living as a card magicians ). Or, just learn a few amazing revelations for your hobby.

Suggestion: with 140 revelations in this set, go through them slowly instead of one marathon sitting. Make notes on which ones stand out to produce the kind of magic that suits your style and then go back and learn them.

This is by far a great resource if you are looking for different and shocking ways to reveal a card. Most of the techniques in these volumes aren't too advanced. Anyway, I love Daryls style of teaching which is down right funny. I went through Daryls Encylopedia of Card Sleights 1-8, and I own his ambitious card DVD. I will tell you that If you want to continue revealing a selected card in a boring manner then do not buy these volumes. On the other hand, If you want to increase your card revealing repertoire please buy these volumes. Step into the mind of a great magician. For me it's not the first time I encountered Daryls amusing style so when I finished watching the volumes I just thought to myself It's Daryl Again!!

A true classic series from Daryl... he's certainly one of the funnest guys to learn great magic from. I highly recommend this set for any card worker.
