Card College by Roberto GiobbiThe first volume in this landmark course sets the groundwork for the rest of the series, beginning with lessons on the proper ways to hold, deal and shuffle the cards, then progressing through many basic sleights and techniques, including perhaps the most thorough and revealing discussion of the classic force ever offered. Along with the classics of card magic, Mr. Giobbi includes original ideas and refinements from his own repertoire, guaranteeing

one for each day of the year (plus one extra for leap years)

When he performs other magicians stop and listen

He opens with the full details for his entire professional act

His methods defy the common expectations of mathematically based solutions

and Craig breaks all of the moves down so magicians of any skill level can add this to their repertoire

ready to be presented by today’s performers for the amazement of today’s audiences

Then the Ace of Spades is turned face down and placed on the table

you’ll be able to instantly know the identity of the celebrity on the face of the card without any complicated memorization systems or the need to hide a crib

a piece of paper inside the envelope and you hand it to the spectator

” revealing that the card they selected was predicted from the very beginning
