DARWIN ORTIZ - CARDSHARK Kaufman & Greenberg, 1995. 1st Edition Hardcover, A4 size, 189 pages. 225 line drawings Currently out of print Introduction Cardshark is the second card magic book from American performer/ creator/ theorist Darwin Ortiz. His first book on card magic ’At The Card Table’ was reviewed by my good self last year (see: ' target='_blank) Cardshark is divided into three sections: Impromptu Miracles, Presentational Showpieces, and Gambling Presentations. The material in this book is of intermediate to advanced level. Although there is one (almost) self-working effect, the reader is expected to have gained at least a couple of years proficiency in card technique. Having said that, explanations are given in the book of any non-core techniques that are required for performance.
The illustrations in the book are all line-drawn by Ton Onosaka. Personally, I prefer line drawings to photographs for the same reasons highlighted by Roberto Giobbi in Card College. Again, as with Darwin’s first book, most effects are followed by a ‘Performance Tips’ section. Even if you never perform the associated effect, these sections are always worth reading, for it is in these sections that Darwin imparts his many years’ experience as a performer and creator of card magic.
All of the effects in ‘Cardshark’ are highly practical, in that they are either impromptu, or can be inserted into any point of an act, and all effects can be performed with the performer almost surrounded (there is no angle-palming or lapping). All of the pieces allow you to end clean, something that comes in very handy when using the routines to construct an act.
Most of the routines require a table or other such horizontal surface. Overall, the effects presented in this book are more rounded than those in ‘At The Card Table’ (ATCT). Less use is made of brute-force methods, and more use is made of intelligent routining. Also, more use is made of non-card props such as wallets, a pocket watch, and other spectators pockets! I shall now briefly outline the effects in the book.
I shall describe the effect, followed by personal opinions and a difficulty rating using the TM standard (1=easy to do, 2=No sleights, but not so easy, 3=Some sleights used, 4=Advanced sleights used, 5=Suitable for experienced magicians only). Items not marked ‘DVD’ appear in the book only. IMPROMPTU MIRACLES The first section deals with effects that can be done anywhere, any time (as long as you have at least a pack of cards and a horizontal surface). The effects and short presentations make many of them ideal as opening material. Michael moorcock books torrent.
