Roberto Giobbi's acclaimed course on sleight-of-hand card magic has received the highest praise from amateur and professional magicians alike, throughout Germany, France, Spain and the USA. The idea of producing a thorough course in card magic has seldom been attempted, and those few rare efforts are dated and often difficult to obtain. What Roberto Giobbi has done far surpasses his predecessors in a number of ways.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Never before has a course in card magic been so thoroughly illustrated for clarity and ease of learning. Clear, engaging, detailed writing is coupled with over twelve hundred professional drawings to aid the student in attaining mastery of a deck in the shortest possible time

Up-to-date information on the latest developments in the craft, giving the reader the best methods for creating amazement with an ordinary deck of playing cards, ranging from classic sleights and ruses to the most sophisticated modern techniques

It's the first course of its kind written by a full-time professional magician, consisting of material selected from his own repertoire. Giobbi offers his readers hard-won knowledge obtained through experience, and teaches the best sleights, methods and tricks, along with the psychology, misdirection and theory essential for successful card magic. Roberto has selected only the best sleights and handlings from literally thousands of books on the subject, saving his readers countless hours of research and wasted effort spent on inferior approaches and ideas.

Card College is written both as a course for the beginning student and a retraining course for the experienced card magician who may have picked up some inferior techniques during previous study.

Roberto Giobbi's Card College is now a five-volume course with over 1300 pages of easily understood instruction that starts with the fundamentals of card handling and progresses to the crafts most advanced and secret techniques-and each step of the way the reader is given astonishing card tricks, which provide practical applications for the sleights and concepts taught.

Roberto Giobbi is a full-time professional magician and one of Europe's most successful exponents of sleight-of-hand with cards. In 1988 and 1991 he was recognized with awards for excellence in card magic from the prestigious FISM World Congress of Magicians, and in 1990 he received from the Swiss International Congress of Magicians their highest award, the Grand Prix. He is also one of the thirty members of the exclusive Escuela Magica de Madrid, and the author of numerous works on magic in German. In 1988 he was named Author of the Year by Magischer Zirkel von Deutschland. Mr. Giobbi lives in Mutenz, Switzerland with his wife Barbara and sons Rafael and Miro Alessandro.

Volume Two Contains: Palming, Card Reverses, the Glimpse, the Pass, the Crimp, False Counts, Advanced Double-lift Techniques and an eye-opening major chapter on Misdirection, Psychology, Routining and Presentation.

Volume Five
It's finally here! 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 astonishing 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 signature with his knowledge, and secretly conveying cards to and from the deck-powerful tools indeed.

But 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.

His choice of material is impeccable, featuring not only original effects and handlings of his own, but tricks and routines by world-masters as well. One finds such gems as Fred Kaps' presentation for The Signed Card in Box, along with Giobbi's cunning treatment of this modern classic, Henry Christ's fabulous Ace routine and a superb handling of a forgotten masterpiece by Charlie Miller. And everything is taught with the clarity and attention to detail for which the Card College series has become known. Open this book and welcome to the party-prepare to graduate! Some of the topics covered in Volume Five include:

Making Secret Setups
False Shuffles
Obtaining Duplicate Signatures
Quick Tricks
Openers and Routines with the Aces
Favorite Effects
Gambling Demonstrations
Mental Mysteries
All in all, Volume Five features 34 professional-caliber routines that have astounded audiences the world over.
