Darwin Ortiz Nothing But the Best Set (Vol 1 thru 3) video DOWNLOAD

Darwin Ortiz is a living legend, and one of the finest creators of card effects living today. He has released countless books and videos, but what makes “Nothing But the Best” shine brightest is that it’s a BEST-OF collection from ALL his material. Here you will find a treasure-trove of effects that span his whole career. This is the best of the best, and he performs the effects for a very warm and excitable crowd, which makes the show portion of each DVD even more exciting to watch. You will see modern classics like “The Dream Card” in which an odd-backed card you dreamed about BECOMES a signed selection. You’ll also see Darwin’s masterful “9-Card Multiple Selection” in which he finds nine selected cards, each one in a different way.

If you’re a Darwin fan, this is, perhaps, the ultimate collection. If you have never seen Darwin on video, this is the perfect place to start.
