Thanks for the links! I have other videos of Jason England and I love is way of teaching. Kjellstrom Inner circle Sweden, Scandinavia, Europe 4784 Posts. Hello wow I didn.t realized that here is included my POETRY IN FARO:O.
THANKS Well, Poetry in faro is my lecture notes ebook it,s over 70 80 pages. Those who know me know I'm a faro crazy, I ve been most of my time as a magician studying and working on the faro, I have studied lot of names, such as Vernon, Marlo, Gertner, Swinford, Elmsley,Diaconnis, Riser, Otero, and some others some that are famous but some that arent that famous. Poetry in faro is full of some of the best tricks I have found, work and even developed with the faro shuffle, and there are lot of combination of principles with the faro, like Finnels Free cut, Stay stack, and some more, then I have published my 'Guide deck' study wich I believe is one of my best colaborations to the faro literature.
I put tips, ideas, and a lot of information about the faro and one of the things I believe that is nice about my booklet is that I have tried to make it FUNNY and entertaining to read Now the bad news for now its only available in spanish so if someone know spanish just contact me and I will tell you how you can get it, but its in mi plans to translate it into english. That would be awesome The good news is that Poetry in faro is almost 4 years old, and I continued my journey and I have developed some tricks ideas and even principles and a study on the critic points of the faro, and how to work on them, today I can do 8 perfect faros totally blindfolded by the hands of a spectator (of course that is uselees but the ability to make the faro while you are talking and looking the spectators into the eyes that is kinda nice and right now I'm planning to put all my work on a big book almost 300 pages of FARO work soo my friends keep in touch!

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.
The Psychotronic Card (DVD) EFFECT: An extremely convincing vanish of a blue-backed spectators (signed) card from amongst a red-backed 4-of-a-kind, followed by the re-appearance of the signed card faced down in the middle of a deck held in the hands by a spectator. Techniques taught: James/ Ellis loading move The contrasting back of the spectators card is what really sets this apart from other vanishes involving a 4-of-a-kind. Strong as this effect it is, it is superseded by the reveal in the spectators hands at the end. Because the effect requires two decks with contrasting back designs, I find it a good way to segue from one deck to another, when the first deck is getting a bit thin due to the fact cards have been signed etc. (at least that’s what I tell the spectators ) Difficulty: 3/5 Against All Ods EFFECT: From a face-down pack in new-deck order a spectator selects a card.
The deck is cut a couple of times, and the spectator replaces their card back into the deck wherever they wish. It is then revealed that the spectator replaced their card at exactly the correct numerical position (e.g. Of the spec selects the 4C, it is found between the 3C and 5C). Techniques taught: Bill Simon’s 'Business Card Prophecy' move A short, punchy routine that would make a great opener. Would nicely compliment a closing routine that finishes with a spectator-shuffled deck returning to new deck order. Difficulty: 2/5 Signature Effect (DVD) EFFECT: A spectator selects a face-down card and signs it on the back, sight unseen. The unknown signed card is then lost in the deck.
The spectator then names any card in the deck. This proves to be the same card that the spectator signed on the back. This signed card is then placed under the spectators hand.
The spectator then selects another card from the deck (both the face and back of the card are shown). The performer then causes the spectators signature to jump from the card under their hand to the newly selected card. Techniques taught: Kurtz's pivot DL, L.J. Move, MC spread DL, Krenzel's drag DL, K.M. Move A strong visual routine with great spectator involvement. Difficulty: 3/5 Four To One (DVD) EFFECT: An ace is placed on the table, and a 4 of a kind is placed under the spectators hand.
The ace and the 4 of a kind then change places ( literally, the 4 of a kind changes into an ace whilst under the spectators hand, and the ace changes into a four of a kind whilst in full view on the table). Techniques taught: Erdnase top palm A fairly unique plot, the results of which are quite shocking to the spectators. Would make a very strong opener. Difficulty: 4/5 The Unholy Three (DVD) EFFECT: Three cards are selected from a red deck and signed on the backs. They are returned to the deck which is then placed under a spectators hand. The performer then picks up a blue-backed deck and proceeds to cut to the three cards that match the ones selected from the red-backed deck. These cards are then shown to be the actual three signed red-backed cards Techniques taught: Underspread control, Vernon transfer One of the centrepieces of the whole book, the final revelation comes as a real surprise to the audience.
Would make a great closer. Difficulty: 4/5 Beyond Sleight of Hand (DVD) EFFECT: After selecting a card, a spectator buries the card in the deck and shuffles the cards. The performer then buries the two red jacks face-up together in the deck. Without touching the deck, the performer causes the selected card to materialise between the jacks.

Techniques taught: Jennings' open control, ribbonspread hideout Not the strongest effect in the book, it has to be said (YMMV), but the ‘hands-off’ conditions do redeem it somewhat. Difficulty: 3/5 Blockbuster (DVD) EFFECT: A spectator freely selects a card which is then buried and lost in the deck. The performer then causes every card of the same (red/ black) colour to turn face up in the deck, with once exception: the spectators selected card. Techniques taught: Half-pass, Ortiz biased pressure fan Again, not as strong as some of the other material. You may find the Ortiz biased pressure fan a little tricky if you are not left-handed (fortunately, I am). Difficulty: 4/5 Nulda's Revenge EFFECT: The performer causes a spectator-signed card that lies on the table to instantaneously change places with another spectator-signed card previously placed in the performers pocket.
Techniques taught: Erdnase palm change, Houghton pocket load A very strong piece (the deck is discarded at the outset, only the two cards are used), despite it’s brevity. Difficulty: 4/5 New Hitchcock Aces EFFECT: A one-at-a-time ace assembly. Finishes with a transposition of the 4 aces under a spectators hand, with the other cards changing into a 4 of a kind. Techniques taught: Carney's versa switch This routine is an evolved version of ‘Hitchcock Aces’ from ATCT. Must admit I’m not a fan of ace-assemblies, as I find it difficult to make the audience care about the plot. I do however appreciate the fact that Mr Ortiz is not scared to improve on previous effects and publish the results. Difficulty: 3/5 Kartenkunste (DVD) EFFECT: The performer uses a 4 of a kind to identify a spectators previously selected card (which is placed under their hand).
One of the 4 of a kind turns face-down, the face down card matching the suit of the selected card. The final revelation shows that the face down card changes places with the selected card under the spectators hand. Based on a plot originally developed by Hofzinser, this a short piece suitable for opening.
Darwin Ortiz Nothing But The Best
The final transposition always surprises! Difficulty: 2/5 PRESENTATIONAL SHOWPIECES The second section presents effects that, while not exactly impromptu, can be inserted into just about any part of an act. They are also slightly more involved (more spectator involvement), making them ideally suited to slotting into the middle section of an act.
