"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 as Daryl could make--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, to his effort and creativity, Daryl gave us in his book everything necessary to develop our own performances."
