R U kidding ??? He can't even do a pinky count. Every time he does a double lift , he is doing a thumb count of 2 cards first and it is so obvious any body can see that , plus he is so careful turning over 2 cards that he hold them tightly which doesn't look natural. Darryl is an ok magician but he is nowhere great.
Nice way of subtly revealing how a trick is done to the masses while simultaneously trying to make it seem as if you're only complementing his magic. You are a douche.
TheCheddarMan1 Actually, you're the douche. The routine isn't accomplished by a double lift alone, so merely saying the words isn't a reveal. He was admiring his skills, just as many others in the comments. There's no need to pounce on anyone because of your seriousness.
Richard S. It's about 90% of Daryl's and about 95% of other ACRs. It is 100% without a doubt a reveal and is shameful. It is so easy to see through his "compliment". Keeping magic secret is serious business.
TheCheddarMan1 I'm not talking about moves. I'm talking about his performance, and that even if the routine is 90% doubles (which you yourself revealed, as well as revealing 95% of other routines), it still doesn't hold up to the fact that the real effort is in his presentation, personality, and his ability to keep the routine entertaining despite its repetition. Regardless of knowing the method, both a magician and a laymen are able to enjoy the performance. Nobody here is aiming to expose it, and even if anybody was, no one would care (except for you, of course).
More specifically that the entire act is built around that one single sleight of hand. I don't think he used anything else at any stage of the performance.
Involves a deck switch and a gimmick. Pretty sure he explains how to make it on the explanation portion of the full video.. Might be on a different one though. I made one a few years back, but deck switching always made me too nervous.
Kris Brockerville I see the deck switch. But I can't figure out how that gimmick works. Are the cards cut in the middle and beveled up to the center of the rope, so that when he sticks it in the middle, it comes out on top on the other side of the rope?
its really hard to explain in text, but the gimmick deck is basically what you're describing.. the cards are cut and glued together so that there are two halves that are wedge shaped.. the only full cards in the deck at this point are those on the very bottom. the rest allow the card to be placed center and when you press it in, it slides up the inside and out the top.. the rope actually makes this easier because it hides all the seams from the cut up deck. they sell premade ones too it seems. www.penguinmagic.com/p/49
His moves throughout the routine are flawless ... They look as natural as humanly possible. But the ending?!? I don't have a damn clue. His charm as a performer is also very endearing! 😊
Beautiful finish…. Stumped me and original. Thank you. Just also viewed Ammar’s routine and then Wonder’s routine. I personally like Wonder’s ! I can’t believe he holds those cards so lightly and twice as slowly as the others and for me twice as much bling finishes. But all of these masters beautiful in their own way. Inspirational, without me spending a dime.
Devastating performances… we are a rudely spoiled bunch. Copperfield in a recent interview lamented how he could never get to see his old legendary performers. His next project I suggest? Employ a magic digital world chief curator and team who has five massive fire-proof mainframe servers. Create and curate every recorded digital public document on magic that ever existed, including TV, WWW, Social Media, Podcasts - the Milky Way’s galaxy of the biggest magic digital library that will be preserved and perennially built until the Lord reappears. What could we call the project?
Aww man -- I used to pore through his stuff, Dai Vernon's, P&T's, and Lennart Green's videos way back before 2006... Sad to only hear about his passing in 2019 :\
You think he's dead, but just snap your fingers and he'll appear at the top of the deck. But more seriously, Edmund Belliveau, it says the comment is 2 years old, there's no way he died in 2019, he must have died in 2017 or January 2018 at latest. Why would you say he died in 2019.
Shōgun Logun I honestly was wondering how he did that. forgot the bluff pass existed lol. damn that was good. I'm surprised he got it passed the people behind him
Earlier in February this year, we lost this renowned magician. I've been studying this exact ambitious card performance (I particularly like the pace and speed which makes this my favorite routine) on and off for a couple years now, and I pray that youtube does not take this gem down because I haven't got it down yet. Anyhow, Darryl's death has motivated me to carry on his legacy, as a tribute and thanks to his teaching and entertainment for decades; this is such an amazing display of skill that to have it not be performed ever again would be a shame. Of course no one can or ever will be able to pull off the smoothness because it's his own ambitious card routine, but I will keep trying. Still can't believe this idol is gone.
Thank you for this video. This is what got me into magic about 2 years ago, I remember watching this all the time and being fooled every time. Now I perform this. Thank you Daryl for all you’ve done for magic. R.I.P. to a true legend🙏❤️
his ambitious card blew my mind every time, how smooth it is and entertaining. Presentation was spectacular, Daryl was one of the classy magicians, rip
Daryl does the ACR like no one else, he does all the dirty work under the guise of a joke so you have no choice but to run with his patter... so smooth
I learned so much from Daryl encyclopedia of card magic, It was my begginers guide to becoming a better overall magician. You will be missed Daryl the magicians magician 👏👏👏
I love Daryl!! He sat in the front row at my lecture in Las Vegas and every coin move I did he hit his wife in the arm and said “ did you see that!” It was the biggest honour of my magic career!! Rip Daryl. Donovan Atreides
Daryls ambitious card dvd was the best money I’ve spent in my entire life. Years and years of enjoyment for a mediocre card man such as myself performing an award winning 1982 FISM ambitious card routine for people. Be sure to include this in your library. 😉
So. FREAKING. GOOD. It's just so sad when you watch this video, and then go "I wonder what he's up to" and realize he was battling demons, and took his own life. RIP Daryl.
He was a master. And a truly humble kind person. So sad that Las Vegas has lost almost all the sweetest magicians who were truly great people. I met Daryl the same night I met J. Thompson. Such wonderful people they were.
Deus Ex Machina Apparently Penguin Magic has a DVD teaching the whole routine (including the amazing ending) for $35. A little steep, in my opinion, but I'm still considering it just for that ending.
He used a gimmick half deck for the last effect. At 3:26 when he eliminates half the deck , 1st he puts half deck into his pocket and took it out right away , that's when he switched it.
R.I.P. to a true legend in the conjuring arts. I can guarantee without hesitation that this man's dedication to the craft of magic and sleight of hand....combined with his creative mind...and his amazing ability to design every single routine he touches to not only be a fooler(dooler) lol...but to always end clean. Haha. ...but more importantly...this man's mark on the art is responsible for such a large amount of us not only getting into magic. But taking it from knowing a few tricks. To it becoming our way of life...if it wernt for Dary, a lot of us wouldn't be here. Let alone the level we are at. Thank you Daryl. R.I.P.
Having learnt some card magic during the lockdown it's quite interesting seeing an expert perform this routine. It's all doable, apart from that last bit with the rope. Haven't figured that out yet...
Funny how everyone says ooh its just the double lift, but could never ever pull this off themselves. After he inserts the card into the deck and does a riffle shuffle he stacks the card to the 3rd from the top. Its called riffle stacking and is one of the hardest moves in cardistry. Good luck doing that one as the set up.
Placing one card at third position is not hard at all. Especially if you are placing the first and second card one by one. The hard part about riffle stacking is for example to place one card at 4th and one at 8th position. But this is more like a gamblers move than a magicians move. The gambler needs like two aces at exactly those positions if playing poker with three mates. While such complicated positions are pretty rare in any card trick magicians do. Magicians like it simple :'D But i agree on your point that i'll propably never be able to do the ambitious card routine to that degree.
anwar mohammad If you're talking about the first insertion (giggity), it's not a riffle stack. I'm not going to say what it is because he does it so beautifully.
This is one of those tricks where if you know what he does, it's even more impressive. It's hard to do what he did.. and he did it flawlessly, as if he had no thought in it whatsoever. I will miss this guy, and I thank him for the gifts he gave to entertainment.
The gimmick is VERY hard to make yourself. I know, because I've tried :) No, seriously, very clever gimmick. Watch Daryl's 1987 lecture at The Magic Castle if you can find it

+Warrior Gill Every magician has their own way, doesn't matter if it is a pinky count or no, at least it's clean enough
His double and triple lifts are just so smooth that its an art in itself.

Ah, thanks. Man, that's a really clever gimmick, and just perfect for an ambitious card routine.
Yes at 3:30 he puts the regular cards into his pocket and pulls out the trick cards and puts them into the box! He's slick!
R.I.P. Daryl... I still think this is one of the finest Ambitious Card Routines ever performed.
Yeah it's a good one.
Rest in peace Daryl, best magician I ve ever seen, he took magic to another level, RIP
The rope at the end of the routine is so eerie given his recent death. Rest In Peace Mr Easton.
Daneil are you gonna make tutorials??
Daniel Fernand
I didn't know that. This act always was such an inspiration. That's really sad.
Plot twist: Daryl then appeared on top of the deck.
What is the connection between the rope and Daryl? He hanged himself? Is he death?

It works after 12 years algorithm

R.I.P legend
Seeing him do so many variations, on the fly, in fromt of a crowd, is a testament to how much he practiced card control to perfection.
I’m so sorry that his inner life was not so sunny as his outer one. RIP Daryl, we loved you.
"Wow, I wish I had a better act."
Only people with class use to say things like this. Daryl is amazing
@Joey Gonyea :(
His moves throughout the routine are flawless ... They look as natural as humanly possible. But the ending?!? I don't have a damn clue. His charm as a performer is also very endearing! 😊
So humble yet so smooth.
Has to be one of the smoothest doubles ever
He has a smooth double and triple lift, but not the most, check out decksandcontest (52kards) double lift
Delvin Sabrin Husnan u serious dud3? This guy is a magician and 52kards is a nobody on youtube
Ita just the double lift, and btw, is he the one that creates hit shot?
historyskyz You're the idiot. 52kards is a magician too in real life. I don't see how this guy has more credit than 52kards.
historyskyz I don't see how that makes his double lift better.
Rest in peace Daryl, you will be forever missed
Beautiful finish…. Stumped me and original. Thank you. Just also viewed Ammar’s routine and then Wonder’s routine. I personally like Wonder’s !
