Daryl's Ambitious Card - DVD - Get HUGE reactions when you perform this high-impact routine. You'll learn how to perform the trick as seen on TV, and you'll learn much more! Highly Recommended!
The Effect A signed card is placed into the center of the deck. With a snap of the magician's fingers the card travels to the top of the deck.
The Ambitious Card is one of those rare things in magic - a "perfect" effect. It is quick and easy to understand, yet has variations limited only by your imagination. The performance transcends all language barriers and can be as simple or as complicated as you wish. Freestyle routining makes this effect a little like playing jazz - once you have mastered the basic theme, you can weave in and out of it to create a unique and personalized rendition for each performance.
Here, you have the chance to witness the live performance of Daryl�s entire gold medal-winning F.I.S.M. routine. Daryl also demonstrates and explains
dozens of additional tips and subtleties he has created and refined over many years to allow you to be the best you can be! And,
for the first time ever, Daryl reveals the real work on the most amazing finale to this routine - Daryl�s Ultimate Ambition
Improved!

I learned Daryl's Ambitious Card from his book, Ambitious Card Omnibus, many many years ago, and it continues to be a staple in my magic performances to this day. The effect is classic, killer, and amazing. This video is exactly like the book, with the benefit of being able to see and enjoy the trick and its many fantastic qualities for yourself.
There are many phases you can put into an ambitious card routine, and you are going to learn a lot here. I give it 4 stars because I'm always a little wary about videos. When I learn this from the book, I was able to easily put my own patter and style into it, because honestly I had no other choice. With video, it's harder because of the temptation to mirror exactly what you see (because Daryl does it so good). You have to actually work hard NOT to do exactly the same performance as Daryl with this.
It's a great video and should be purchased. If you are reading this review then you should ADD TO CART right now. You'll love it.

The Best

Daryl's ambitious card routine is one of the best out there. There is so much stuff packed into this DVD it's crazy. Daryl goes into pretty good detail when explaining the trick and after you watch it you'll come away with a pretty good routine. Get it for the tied up deck. The cards are tied, you put the card in the middle and it still gets to the top. A great find.

this not only had daryl's award winning acr, but it has millions of different moves. if your thinking of making your own acr, buy this dvd. he also has an idea of the best ambitious card climax in the world, i think. the only downside, is that its extremely tiring to make that gimmick.

Another great Daryl DVD

Daryl does his performance (live) then step by step explains the performance. You do need to construct a gimmick to do the final phase, but it's very straight forward to make, and if you want to you could purchase it. And as per usual Daryl provides many extra techniques and moves to modify and add to your ambitious card routine.
The presentation is great, great lighting and camera work.
