Could someone point me to the best video to learn the ambitious card routine?
I can't decide between Daryl's or Michael Ammar's.

Daryl's "Ambitious Card Video" gets my vote... great routine and Daryl
is a superb teacher.
By: Douglas Byrd
Daryl's video is to the Ambitious Card Routine as Greg Wilson's video
(Ring Leader) is to the Ring and String Routine.
In other words go with Daryl's. It contains an arsenal of moves that you can piece together to come up with your own routine.

Well if you want to learn all about the Ambitious Card Routine, you
can not go wrong with Daryl's Ambitious Card Video. You'll get the
complete rundown on a variety of moves and techniques that can be used
in the in the routine as well as Daryl's Ultimate Ambitious Improved.
I personally learned the ambitious card routine off of Ammar's ETMCM Vol 2. It is a good routine based almost entirely on the DL. Ammar certainly does not cover the ambitious card routine to the depth that Daryl's video does, so if depth is your criteria, you should probably buy Daryl's video.
That being said, I think that ETMCM Vol 2. is the best of the ETMCM series. If you go with that one, you will be getting the following routines: Twisting the Aces (Dai Vernon), Daley's Last Trick (Dr. Jacob Daley), Card Warp (Roy Walton), Poker Routine (Dai Vernon), Poker Face (Al Baker), Overkill (Paul Harris & Alan Ackerman), Card Through Handkerchief, Card Penetration & Change (Cy Endfield), That's It (Fechter), Ambitious Card and as a bonus effect, MacDonald's Aces. Those are some great routines and I think that you will add two maybe three of them minimum, to your arsenal. If you want more bang for you buck, in terms of effects, then go with Ammar.

For my money, I'd be going with a book like Expert Card Technique
instead. Much better value for money, and with the moves and sleights
inside you could piece together hundreds of Ambitious Card routines.
If it really is just Ambitious Card you're after, perhaps Daryl's 'Ambitous Card Omnibus' would be the way to go.
Although if you're certain you want a video... go with Daryl.
