These effects, however, are not mere constructions meant for teaching. Most have been drawn from Roberto Giobbi's professional repertoire-and because of this, even the classics of card magic are given a fresh gleam as Giobbi adds refinements won from years of performing experience. \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis choice of material is impeccable, featuring not only original effects and handlings of his own, but tricks and routines by world-masters as well.

See the theory in action, with examples of concepts explained in the first volume, such as the Parenthesis of Forgetfulness, the Anti-Contrasting Parenthesis, Stressing the Initial Situation, Slow Execution, misdirection, and the In-Transit Actions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe next three chapters include magic by Ascanio's mentors, Kaps and Carles, by his colleagues Dany Ray and Fu Manchu, and by one of his idols in magic: Ed Marlo, all with the Ascanio treatment.

When it comes to artistic considerations-interpretation, staging, communication and psychology-other books seldom even recognize such concepts. \u003cb\u003eCard College Light\u003c\/b\u003e strives to remain as simple as possible, yet to identify concepts and to open doors that put sleightless tricks into the context of artistic and utterly baffling card magic. Although other books consider the same type of material, their approaches to it are quite different from Giobbi's. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMost of the tricks taught are from Mr. Giobbi's active professional repertoire, with which he baffles the public and magicians, too. Every trick can be done with any deck of cards of average quality, and many can be done under all performance conditions, with a borrowed deck and no preparation. With these sleightless tricks, you can easily acquire a reputation as a magician who can really make magic. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eWhen It Comes to Great Card Magic There Is More to the Secret Than Just the Secret! \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCountless books on card magic promise tricks that \"require no skill\" and are \"easy to do\" or \"self-working\". They expose the method behind the tricks, but they fail to explain how the tricks are made genuinely amazing. Card tricks that allow the fingers to remain idle require that their methods be cunningly protected through presentation and psychology, which in turn amplify the feeling of real magic. Without these things, all you are left with are mere puzzles. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGiobbi brings his widely respected talents as both teacher and full-time performer to bear on tricks he has selected from time-tested classics and little-known modern miracles by world masters, taught with a thoroughness that includes psychology, presentations, scripts and invaluable performance tips. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e21 Tricks - 7 full routines! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGiobbi has also organized these tricks into powerful routines, which teach the reader how organization and combination can be used to make good tricks even more inextricably baffling.
