Darwin Ortiz isn’t just a magician; he’s a legend in the card game. He’s churned out more books and videos than you can shake a wand at, but “Nothing But the Best” stands out like a sore thumb (in a good way). This is the BEST-OF compilation from all his material, showcasing a treasure trove of effects that span his illustrious career. It’s the crème de la crème, performed for an audience that’s as warm as a freshly baked scone, making the show sections of each volume a real treat to watch. You’ll witness modern classics like “The Dream Card,” where an odd-backed card you dreamed of magically BECOMES a signed selection. And don’t miss Darwin's masterful “9-Card Multiple Selection,” where he finds nine chosen cards, each in a different jaw-dropping style.
If you’re a Darwin aficionado, this set is basically your holy grail. And if you’ve never seen him perform, well, you’ve just hit the jackpot.
