He&#8217;s also written several magic books including: Darwin&#8217;s Close Up Miracles, Darwin&#8217;s Thumb Tip Secrets, Darwin&#8217;s Thumb Tip Thinking, and Inexpensive Illusion.<\/p>\n<p>Darwin&#8217;s professional credits include performances at the Stardust, the Lido, Caesar&#8217;s Palace, the Silver Bird, the Flamingo, the Desert Inn, the Mint, the MGM Grand, and resort hotels in Reno, Lake Tahoe, and Canada.<\/p>\n<p>Darwin owns one of the largest magic libraries in the world. There are over 10,000 books in the library in addition to autographs, posters, and other magic related memorabilia. Darwin&#8217;s home is a museum of all things magic.<\/p>\n<p>Darwin is also the founder of the Darwin Magic Club. The Club has met every Wednesday Night for over 39 years.
