Ebook - The Art of Switching Decks by Roberto Giobbi (Digital Download)
Description & Effect
Unlock the Power of Covert Deck Switching
For card magicians, the ability to switch decks seamlessly is a game-changer, yet it's one of the most feared and misunderstood techniques. Imagine performing an impossible feat with a specially prepared deck, then instantly being able to hand out a completely ordinary deck for examination. Or, start with a borrowed, shuffled deck, convince everyone your skill, not the cards, creates the magic, and then subtly introduce a stacked deck to unleash a truly stunning effect. This level of deception transforms good magic into legendary, but only if the switch remains utterly imperceptible and, more importantly, unimaginable.

The Art of Switching Decks by Roberto Giobbi
The strongest card tricks most often depend on a stack or special deck. Unfortunately, if you start with a gaffed deck, as soon as you have accomplished the impossible feat, its very strength causes audiences to say, "Let me see those cards!" With a deck switch, they can, because you just switched the gaffed deck for a normal one, which they can even take home! A deck switch can also allow you to start with an ordinary deck, and convince everyone it's you and not the cards causing the magic: then you switch in your gaffed or stacked deck and unleash a stunning effect. Deck switches can create extraordinary, incomprehensible effects… as long as the switch isn't detected or suspected.
And therein lies the challenge. Everyone knows about switching decks. We've all heard that card cheats do it, and magicians. In reality, though, very few magicians switch decks, because it is commonly perceived as too difficult to get away with. And since everyone knows about switching decks, even a suspicion that a deck switch might have occurred can completely undermine a performance. Therefore, if you use any deck switch, it must be not only imperceptible, but also unimaginable.
Roberto Giobbi teaches you precisely how to do this—standing, seated, with and without a jacket—using shrewd psychology, not knuckle-busting sleights or special apparatus. The only things required to do these professional switches are decks of cards and your pockets. Giobbi teaches dozens of methods for imperceptibly switching decks, along with the psychological principles behind them, principles that allow the reader to apply and modify deck switching techniques to suit any circumstance.
And along the way, Giobbi explains some very strong card magic.
As is expected from Roberto Giobbi, the techniques and tricks in this book are not pipe dreams. They come from his professional repertoire, sharpened by hundreds of performances and explained with all the detail only a world-class teacher can bring to a subject.
There is no other book devoted to this important topic, and it holds information that will be of tremendous value to beginning and advanced card magicians alike. The Art of Switching Decks is an in-depth study teaching over 30 deck switches and a few remarkable tricks.
