Beginner Magic

This effect can be performed to small or large groups of people, and can be fully examined at the end. The effect is that a bank note is borrowed, and signed by the spectator. This is then placed under a handkerchief and handed to a spectator to hold. The magician then takes a locked, brass tube from their pocket, and hands this, with the keys, to a second spectator. The magician then pulls the handkerchief, and the note is seen to totally vanish. The spectator holding the tube is then asked to remove the brass padlock, remove the bolt securing the lid, and remove the lid. The magician is not near the tube at this stage, the spectator then removes the signed note from the tube.

This is a high quality prop, which is easy to perform, though some practice is required to perfect the routine and presentation. Comes complete with printed instructions, tube, lock, and handkerchief.

This is a classic of magic. Three cups are shown, with three small red rubber balls. During the routine the balls are shown to move from cup to cup.

This set, made from plastic, but finished to an incrdible high standard, is a perfect introduction to this amasing trick. The instructional DVD is included. The cups are the same size and shape as the professional ones, and are a perfect introduction.

This is one of our favourite tricks! It is easy to do for someone starting in magic, but is also performed by professional magicians around the world.
A pack of cards is spread and shown blank on either side. The magician then says that they are going to magically print the cards. By simply cutting the deck, a card is printed, this is repeated to show the entire deck has been printed.

This is also available with basic printed instructions only for £10 (see lower down on this page).

This deck is now available complete with instructional DVD. The routine is that the magician pretends to have an invisible deck of cards. This is handed to the spectator who is asked to pretend to remove a card. look at it, and insert it back into the deck, reversed. The spectator gives the 'invisible' deck back to the magician, telling the magician the card they thought of. The magician then shows a real deck of cards inside its card case. The magician removes the cards, spreads them out, and shoes that the thought of card is indeed reversed in this deck. This deck now comes with a full instructional DVD, which fully describes the routine, with pointeres on technique and presentation.

This is an incredible, yet simple and easy to perform coin trick, which comes complete with brass props and full instructional DVD. The effect is that a solid brass block is shown, and placed between two brass rings (all can be inspected both before and after the trick). Four 10p (or quarter dollar) coins are placed in toop of the block, visible inside the ring. The block is shaken slightly and a single con is seen to penetrate the brass block. This is repeated for each of the remaining coins.

We recomend this trick for both children and adults, as it is so easy to do, yet very effective.

This now comes with a instructional DVD, which gives you a step by step guide.

This unbelievable trick, accomplished by a surprising new principle, has baffled magicians around the world.

Many additional effects with bills, matchbooks, playing cards and a variety of coin effects, as well as the valuable `Empty Hand Move,` are taught on the video. The `Empty Hand Move` is worth the price of the video. Perform in a coat, even a short sleeved shirt.Related Items: Reel Raven®, Raven® Mint, Deluxe Raven® Kit, Raven® Video

"I call this DVD 'SUPERNATURAL' because it features some of my strongest magic and mentalism with natural, every day objects. I deliberately didn't include any effects with playing cards or coins because sometimes you have to astonish people with something OTHER than cards or coins to feel like a real magician." - Jay Sankey

This is without a doubt one of the most powerfully stimulating collections of magic and mentalism Jay has ever released! The sixteen killer routines include knock-out effects with steel bolts, monopoly money, ping pong balls, drinking straws, bottle caps, dollar bills, glass capsules, business cards, fortune cookies, paperclips, notepads, packing bubbles, finger rings and more! And most of them Jay is revealing here the very first time!

This Is Not Your Father's "Self-Working" Card Book!

From the author of Card College, the world's most acclaimed course on sleight-of-hand card magic, comes Card College Light, Roberto Giobbi's first text focused entirely on professional caliber card tricks requiring no manipulative skill.

For whom is this book intended?

It is for beginners, of course—but by no means in total. This book is intended for everyone who has always wanted to perform card tricks, but who didn't have the time necessary to learn complex routines, or the years necessary to master difficult techniques. So, yes, this book is certainly meant for beginners.

However, it is also directed at those who are already proficient in the craft. Card College Light is in a class apart from other books that focus on sleightless card tricks. When it comes to artistic considerations—interpretation, staging, communication and psychology—other books seldom even recognize such concepts. Card College Light strives to remain as simple as possible, yet to identify concepts and to open doors that put sleightless tricks into the context of artistic and utterly baffling card magic. Although other books consider the same type of material, their approaches to it are quite different from Giobbi's.

Most of the tricks taught are from Mr. Giobbi's active professional repertoire, with which he baffles the public and magicians, too. Every trick can be done with any deck of cards of average quality, and many can be done under all performance conditions, with a borrowed deck and no preparation. With these sleightless tricks, you can easily acquire a reputation as a magician who can really make magic.

When It Comes to Great Card Magic There Is More to the Secret Than Just the Secret!

Countless books on card magic promise tricks that "require no skill" and are "easy to do" or "self-working". They expose the method behind the tricks, but they fail to explain how the tricks are made genuinely amazing. Card tricks that allow the fingers to remain idle require that their methods be cunningly protected through presentation and psychology, which in turn amplify the feeling of real magic. Without these things, all you are left with are mere puzzles.

Giobbi brings his widely respected talents as both teacher and full-time performer to bear on tricks he has selected from time-tested classics and little-known modern miracles by world masters, taught with a thoroughness that includes psychology, presentations, scripts and invaluable performance tips.

21 Tricks - 7 full routines!

Giobbi has also organized these tricks into powerful routines, which teach the reader how organization and combination can be used to make good tricks even more inextricably baffling. These lessons serve not only the beginner, but also the advanced card-magician who wishes from time to time to include a trick wherein the audience can stare relentlessly at the fingers without discovering a thing.
