My advice is to get all at once cos it will be cheaper then getting one vol after another.. Which is the best all I can say that is up to personal prefence as I find both of it are really informative...

Michael Ammar Eas to Master Card Miracles is base more on magic effects... so if you are looking for cards effects then choose that..

Daryl is more on sleights choose that if you wan to built up on your basic...

Both DVD series are for beignners to advance nothing really hard in there.. you will be able to perfrom the effect after a short peroid of practice... :D

Well well well... will you look at that??

Almost everything in there is not Ammar's effect. They all look good though. I say you should get them all. I recognise some of the effects in there to be very good.

If you think you're pretty good with cards, you probably wont learn new things as much if you take the Daryl's one, instead of Ammar's series.

I think Michael Ammar's E.T.M.C.M are like the highlights of certain card tricks from alot of Magicians, not only Michael Ammar himself. Nothing much to say, but really worth it.

I think it is always better to know what u are going for, there is alot of sleights or moves or tricks that u can learn. But what is the ones that u really think u will be able to learn more out of them. And eventually make use of them.

I personally dont own all the volumns and i only have those that i feel i will learn from them.

Personally, I think it is a very gd series.

I assume ur a beginner.

If so, i seriously recommed card college. (if u have the money and time to dedicate in the series).

If not get Royal Road to Card magic and Expert card technique. (which are much cheaper, although a bit "older" but should suffice)

Just my opinion :rolleyes:
