This is a collection of early Lybrary.com discs (CDROM, CD). Blackston Party Magic is an audio CD, the others are all CDROMs with HTML ebooks on it. The smaller ones were called mini-CDs or business-card-CDs because some used them as business cards to hand out their resume or other digital files and documents. We used them to deliver ebooks.

Included in this collection are:

• Party Magic
• Card College 1
• Angels May Shuffle But The Devil Still Deals
• Pocket Power
• Hoffmann's Trilogy - two different label design versions (Modern Magic, More Magic, Later Magic)

These are 8 hours of personal video instructions from Roberto Giobbi. This is almost like taking private lessons from Roberto. It is a one-to-one coaching from one of the world's premier card experts, who is considered by his peers to be one of today's finest and most influential teachers of magic.

"I was extremely impressed. Giobbi is an excellent teacher, he communicates his ideas clearly, and he's passionate about card magic - this is one of the best card magic DVD sets I've come across in recent memory. It contains a tremendous amount of solid material for beginning and even seasoned...

The best series on self-working/sleight-less card magic now as a price reduced bundle. It is probably the most useful card series of all time, because it is not only ideal for the beginner to start learning and performing card magic, but also a wonderful series for professionals who want to renew their focus on strong and effective card routines, or for the busy professional who wants to add a couple of strong card effects without having to practice for months.

Card College is a modern classic. It is without a doubt the most important work on sleight of hand with cards. This is the first volume in a series of five. The speciality of this electronic book are its 89 video clips, which show how Giobbi executes each and every technique described. (If you are looking for the 8 hour video course please go here Card College 1 & 2: Personal Instruction.)

This ebook has also been nominated as a finalist in the prestigious EPPIE 2004 ebook award in the category non-fiction/how-to. This is the first magic book to be nominated for a non-magic book prize.

There are a total of 108 video clips in this volume. At the end of each section you will find some of the best and most amazing effects.
