Fundamental TechniquesRoberto GiobbiThis is the first lesson from Giobbi's Card College 1 & 2 Personal Instruction. It is made available free of charge so that you can experience the style of Giobbi's teaching and decide if you want to invest in the full course.
I personally think there is no better teacher of card magic alive today. Giobbi's style can at times be detail orientated, but then again if you want to reach the higher rungs of cardmanship, or cardwomanship, you need to pay attention to the details. Giobbi will take you by the hand and lead you through what can sometimes look like an impenetrable forest of moves, sleights, and techniques that look impossible... | ★★★★★ $0 to wish listMP4 (video) |

A Gambler's DreamRoberto GiobbiThis is pure Giobbi, a great card routine including Poker, Stud Poker, BlackJack, and Bridge demonstrations where the gambler always wins. However, the real value are the lessons Giobbi teaches you in terms of constructing a routine, timing and psychology. He explains why he says a certain word or sentence at that particular time and not earlier or later and why not anything different. You get the reason and thus you can apply these lessons to many other effects. These insights transcend the routine at hand and will make you a much better, more effective and more knowledgeable magician.

Fantasia in As-DurRoberto GiobbiEine tolle jedoch technisch anspruchsvolle Routine bestehend aus drei Teilen. Jeder Teil kann auch alleine vorgeführt werden.
Effekt:
Vier Damen werden auf überraschende Weise produziert. Sie verwandeln sich einzeln und sichtbar in die vier Asse. Diese werden unterschrieben und verschwinden aus den Spiel, um anschliessend aus vier verschiedenen Taschen des Vorführenden hervorgeholt zu werden.

Convergence: coin assemblyRoberto GiobbiLive from the European Close-up Magic Symposium 2012. This routine is taken from Giobbi's professional repertoire. It is his revised and expanded interpretation of a coin assembly created by the famous Japanese magician Shigeo Takagi (from the book Amazing Miracles of Shigeo Takagi, published by Richard Kaufman). Here Roberto has devised a presentation that makes everything more magical. A true act of magic. This is artistic Close-up Magic at its finest.
