Roberto Giobbi – Card Magic Masterclass – Collectors Edition
Introducing THE best way to build a card magic foundation.
Twenty years ago Roberto Giobbi, card magic's most distinguished author, wrote Card College, a series of books now considered THE Bibles on card magic. This video series is the next step.
In five volumes covering five major areas of card magic (Controls, Switches, Palms, Forces, False Shuffles), Giobbi teaches his favorite entries from Card College as well as new techniques not described in those volumes. If you have and study Card College, this is the PERFECT video companion. If you've never read Card College, this series is like having Mr. Giobbi in your living room giving you private instruction.
You won't just learn all the wonderful and important sleights in card magic, you'll also learn the fine points, finesses, and subtleties of each one, so that you carry out the techniques the way connoisseurs do: with invisible precision.
In this deluxe set, not only do you get all five masterclasses from Roberto, but you also get an exclusive extra DVD which is packed with content that has never been seen before. In 1993 Roberto filmed an hour long session with Lennart Green. You will see Roberto explaining some incredible magic, much of it relatively unknown, and many of the pieces you’ll watch feature new handlings or suggestions. This is an incredible opportunity to own a piece of magic history. It will never be made available elsewhere.
We release a small amount of original content each year, but Card Magic Masterclass will be an enduring resource–a legacy, perhaps–to magicians for years to come. Thanks to Roberto Giobbi, magicians have an at-home academy to master ALL the important techniques in card magic. It's time to take your card magic seriously. It's time to start your Card Magic Masterclass.
