This exceptional collection showcases the remarkable artistry of world champion Daryl, featuring some of the most impactful magic from the 1980s. Among the highlights are Daryl’s iconic Cutting Display for Triumph, the breathtaking “Mysterious Cross of India” Coins Across, and the enigmatic “Boomerang Card of Mystery.” Additionally, this compilation revives lesser-known treasures from the early 80s, such as “In the Pinch,” which allows performers to extract a card from a cascading deck. Daryl also adds his unique flair to Twisting the Aces and presents an impossible card location, among other surprises.
**Secrets of a “Puerto Rican Gambler”** stands as Daryl’s most sought-after and celebrated work, and we are excited to offer this newly updated edition to enthusiasts around the globe. This reprint features a fresh edit and layout, along with more than double the original photographs. A special bonus routine, “Double Dazzling Triumph,” created during the same era but not included in the original book, is also part of this edition.
