Rediscover the Magic of Darwin Ortiz

In 1984, Darwin Ortiz showcased his extraordinary talent during an informal gathering arranged by his friend John Clark, who invited fellow magic enthusiasts. This remarkable performance was captured on video, and after being long thought lost, it is now available for the first time.

Darwin presents around two dozen effects, featuring his own classic creations alongside powerful, lesser-known tricks from renowned magicians like Marlo, Lorayne, Cervon, Max Maven, Paul Harris, and Ted Annemann. He also includes rare pieces from his acclaimed gambling act.

For two hours, Darwin delivers world-class card magic in a relaxed setting. This performance-only release highlights the artistry of a top professional executing an impressive informal show.

As an added bonus, Darwin shares captivating stories and teaches subtle techniques while demonstrating classic sleights. Witness a master card handler at the peak of his skills.
