He hasn't published a magic book in German for over 10 years, but now it's time again: The book for everyone who performs magic with playing cards while standing in front of an audience.
About the content:
Do you have to perform at a long table where the table surface is difficult to see? Are you booked for a private event where the audience is seated on chairs and sofas in the living room? Or are you even having a full-length performance in a smaller theater? In all these and similar cases, you are what was called a parlor magician back in the 18th century.
Although the platforms have changed and modern variations have been added, the demands on the modern stand-up performer remain essentially the same: the techniques must be efficient and able to be performed in a circle, the tricks must be straightforward,
impressive and memorable, the presentations contemporary, intelligent and definitely fascinating.
Stand-up Card Magic - Card Art for Salon and Stage is the latest work by Roberto Giobbi. It systematically, thoroughly, and precisely describes techniques, tricks, and presentations for the modern magician who stands up before his audience and performs card art.
want to celebrate at its finest.
288 pages (25 x 18.5 cm), 400 photos, in a four-color hardcover glossy cover, rounded spine with a wine-red headband, thread-bound, printed on acid-free paper. Beautiful for the collector and durable for the practical user (no matter which double page you open the book to, it stays flat and shatter-proof on the table).
Author's notes:
At the end of this document you will find the table of contents for the book – however, the individual chapters are further subdivided and not listed in the table of contents for the sake of clarity.
In the first and second sections, everything that is important for the salon and stage magician is discussed: how to create the best performance conditions, how to speak, stand and walk in the salon, how to select and treat your audience,
how to anchor information in the room, which cards to use and how to make them visible to everyone, which criteria to use to select tricks and techniques for the salon, how to script and much more.
Perhaps in the third section, dedicated to salon techniques, you will discover terms that you think you already know from The Great Card School. However, in this book, each technique is re-examined for its suitability and handling in the salon area. For example, it is one thing to let a spectator take a card at the table and then check it. But it is quite different in the salon, where you either have to go into the audience to let them choose a card or bring a spectator forward – both have their pitfalls and need to be carefully considered. And then methods are explained where you neither
One must do the other! This applies to each of the five major categories of techniques underlying classical card art: false shuffling, control, force, palming, and filleting.
The fourth section describes some completely new tricks and some that I have been performing with great success in my professional repertoire around the world for over 20 years.
Enjoy secrets gleaned from 25 years of international professional experience in virtually every audience situation, including previously unpublished originals. I don't hesitate to say that with the techniques, tricks, and practical theories in this book, you could become a successful international professional.
And as a hobby or amateur magician, you benefit even more!
