His \"Roberto Light\" series is particularly recommended for beginners to playing card magic. In 1988 and 1991, he won second prize in the card magic category at the FISM World Championships, and in 2015, he was awarded the FISM Special Prize for Services to Theory and Philosophy in Magic.\u003c\/span\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"standupcard","title":"Stand up Card Magic | Roberto Giobbi ","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003c!-- mmlvidopen --\u003e\u003cvideo controls disablepictureinpicture width=\"100% !important\" id=\"vid0\" poster=\"https:\/\/www.murphysmagicsupplies.com\/images\/57887-full.png\"\u003e\u003csource src=\"https:\/\/www.murphysmagicsupplies.com\/video\/clips_mp4fs\/57887-video2_416p.mp4\" type=\"video\/mp4\"\u003e\u003csource src=\"https:\/\/www.murphysmagicsupplies.com\/video\/clips_mp4fs\/57887-video2.mp4\" type=\"video\/mp4\"\u003e\u003c\/source\u003e\u003c\/source\u003e\u003c\/video\u003e\u003c!-- mmlvidclose --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Just finished reading.. and I LOVED IT.

But what about the magician who wishes to perform for larger audiences and higher fees? Card tricks suitable for parlor, platform and stage are far fewer, and finding them requires searching through the countless books in which they are scattered. Magicians wishing to perform with cards for more than a few people have never been given a compact and authoritative source of information and tricks-until now. Standup Card Magic is the first book dedicated to teaching the tools, tricks and routines necessary for entertaining and amazing banquet, corporate, trade-show and theater audiences. All this is taught through the eyes and experience of a world-class magician and teacher. Roberto Giobbi shows you how to perform standup and outstanding card magic!\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eRoberto Giobbi is the award-winning and internationally respected author of Card College, The Art of Switching Decks, Secret Agenda, Confidences and other foundational works on card magic. In Standup Card Magic Giobbi has focused on the psychology, showmanship, spectator management, sleights, tricks and presentations designed for standup performance before larger audiences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Giobbi begins by exploring what standup card magic is and how it differs from close-up magic. From there he teaches how to interact with a larger group of spectators, how to choose the right people to assist you, how to get them onto the stage and how to manage their behavior there. He then provides a meaty discussion of the right sleights to use in standup and stage performances. Following these are detailed explanations of many of his best standup card routines.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAll the material is taken from Giobbi's professional repertoire, honed over many years of performances in front of international audiences. Card magicians who wish to perform powerful card magic for larger groups finally have a book that addresses their needs. Standup Card Magic not only provides the tools, magic and presentational guidelines, it also shows its readers how to develop further standup card magic, where to find it and how to bring card tricks from the close-up table onto the stage. Standup Card Magic is a comprehensive study of professional-caliber, standup card conjuring, and is designed to show you how to take your card magic to new levels and larger audiences.","brand":"Murphy's Magic Supplies, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40851055739062,"sku":"STANDUPCARD","price":60.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0514\/1980\/7926\/products\/57887-full_0ff5abb8-f84a-4c19-a845-4bf5aeff7b72.png?v=1642831313"},{"product_id":"artofswitching","title":"The Art of Switching Decks | Roberto Giobbi \u0026amp; Hermetic Press","description":"The strongest card tricks most often depend on a stack or special deck. Unfortunately, if you start with a gaffed deck, as soon as you have accomplished the impossible feat, its very strength causes audiences to say, \"Let me see those cards!\" With a deck switch, they can, because you just switched the gaffed deck for a normal one, which they can even take home! A deck switch can also allow you to start with an ordinary deck, convince everyone it's you and not the cards causing the magic-then you switch in your gaffed or stacked deck and unleash a stunning effect. Deck switches can create extraordinary, incomprehensible effects-as long as the switch isn't detected or suspected.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAnd there lies the challenge. Everyone knows about switching decks. We've all heard that card cheats do it, and magicians. In reality, though, very few magicians switch decks, because it is commonly perceived as too difficult to get away with. And since everyone knows about switching decks, even a suspicion that a deck switch might have occurred can completely undermine a performance. Therefore, if you use any deck switch, it must be not only imperceptible, but also unimaginable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eRoberto Giobbi\u003c\/b\u003e teaches you precisely how to do this-standing, seated, with and without a jacket-using shredded psychology, not knuckle-busting sleights or special gimmicks or apparatus. The only things required to do these professional switches are decks of cards and your pockets. Giobbi teaches dozens of methods for imperceptibly switching decks, along with the psychological principles behind them; principles that allow the reader to apply and modify deck switching techniques to suit any circumstance.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAnd along the way, Giobbi explains some very strong card magic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As is expected from \u003cb\u003eRoberto Giobbi\u003c\/b\u003e , the techniques and tricks in this book are not pipe dreams.

In the fifth volume of the acclaimed Card College series, Roberto Giobbi has prepared a graduation party! In previous volumes the reader has been given a remarkable collection of tools for creating amazing card magic. In the same vein, Volume 5 begins with a meaty chapter of new techniques and strategies, which include methods for covertly arranging stacks during performance, obtaining a duplicate of a spectator's with his knowledge, and secretly conveying cards to and from the deck-powerful tools indeed.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBut then Volume 5 diverges from the established Card College formula. Judging that the reader now has more than a sufficient number of tools in his grasp, Mr. Giobbi provides eight chapters filled with tricks and routines that illustrate how various techniques are applied to create world-class card magic. 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.
