Introducing THE best way to build a card magic foundation. Twenty years ago, Roberto Giobbi, card magic's most distinguished author, wrote"Card College, a series of books now considered THE Bibles on card magic. This video series is the next step.

In five volumes covering five major areas of card magic (Controls, Switches, Palms, Forces, False Shuffles), Giobbi teaches his favorite entries from"Card College"as well as new techniques not described in those volumes. If you have"Card College"and are studying it, this is the PERFECT video companion. If you've never read"Card College, this series is like having Mr. Giobbi in your living room giving you private instruction.

You won't just learn all the wonderful and important sleights in card magic, you'll also learn the fine points, finesses, and subtleties of each one, so that you carry out the techniques the way connoisseurs do: with invisible precision.

We release a small amount of original content each year, but?Card Magic Masterclass?will be an enduring resource - a legacy, perhaps - to magicians for years to come. Thanks to Roberto Giobbi, magicians have an at-home academy to master ALL the important techniques in card magic. It's time to take your card magic seriously. It's time to start your?Card Magic Masterclass.

5 DVDs plus slipcase. Running time: 8 hours 11 minutes approximately.
