“Daryl is one of the smoothest and most entertaining close-up performers I have ever witnessed…”

– Dai Vernon

“The marvelous book, The Ambitious Card Omnibus, is an extraordinary encyclopedia, one that only an especially great magician and an especially grand connoisseur like Daryl could create—and as I have written and felt so many times, the Ambitious Card is for me, as it is for so many aficionados and all professionals, one of the most powerful, symbolic, and magical effects in card magic of all time. Thanks to his book, his effort, and his creativity, Daryl has given us everything we need to develop our own performances.”
