From Introduction by Darwin Ortiz:
“What I like about this book is that it lives up to its title. These are card tricks that go for the jugular, tricks that push the boundaries of what’s possible with a deck of cards. In so doing, they ensure that the audience will remember the magic and the magician.”

The material contained in these four DVDs has entertained laymen and fooled magicians for nearly 40 years. These are not simply tricks, but time-tested miracles that will leave a lasting impression on your audiences for years to come. Many have been performed on television – including CBS Sunday Morning and FOX TV – while the rest have been tested on audiences during thousands of performances. I hope you enjoy them.
