"Two years ago, International Magic in London released my first lecture DVD, which was favorably reviewed by many in this forum. They have just issued a brand-new DVD of my latest lecture. It contains six new effects that have never appeared anywhere else (except in the Practically Impossible lecture notes that accompany this lecture). I have only performed this lecture a couple of times, so very few have seen these effects or had a chance to purchase the notes, which normally are only available at the lecture." - Darwin Ortiz
Darwin's last appearance in the United Kingdom was in 2007 and it was an outstanding performance. We were fortunate to have him with us on this occasion because he was on the final leg of his European lecture tour. Darwin graciously accepted our invitation to lecture for us once again and he -didn't disappoint.
Darwin's new lecture has been entitled, "Practically IMPOSSIBLE". This lecture achieved the intention in that title. A lecture by Darwin Ortiz operates on a multi-sensory level. Here you will experience the finest card magic in the world today. The impeccable execution of sleight of hand card magic along with superb presentation and a high standard of explanation and teaching. This DVD represents a wonderful record of Darwin's performance and features ground-breaking new routines which delight and most importantly, educate.

This DVD should have been called ‘Tito Ortiz Vs. Guy Metzger And How That Led To The Feud With Ken Shamrock’ since Shamrock barely appears onscreen. Instead, this DVD focuses on Ortiz and Guy Metzger’s battles – their initial bout where Metzger defeated Tito, a varsity wrestler, after Ortiz made a rookie mistake and how this paved the way for their imminent and much hyped rematch credited with getting Tito back into UFC. It was after this fight, in which Tito manhandled Metzger, that Ortiz made a lifelong enemy in Ken Shamrock after donning an inappropriate T-shirt he designed that featured a derogatory Metzger slur emblazoned across the chest. This again paved the way for an imminent and much hyped fight – this time between Ortiz and Shamrock that, again, is credited with getting someone back into UFC – this time Shamrock.
