What happens when the foremost scholar on card magic is asked about his favorite magicians? You get Favorites, a collection of magic that assembles separate, serious studies on three of the greatest card magicians of all time: Alex Elmsley, Frank Garcia, and Dai Vernon.

In each case, Mr. Giobbi provides background information on the person, and frames the influence of the tricks in a modern perspective. Then you'll see a performance of three pieces by Elmsley, Garcia, and Vernon, followed by step-by-step instruction on each piece.

Giobbi has selected three of his favorite tricks from each of his "favorites." Some are well-known, while others will likely be new to you.

You will learn:

From Vernon — Emotional Reaction, Four of a Kind, and Slow Motion Aces

From Elmsley — All Backs, Double Swap, and 1002nd Aces

From Garcia — A Lady Up My Sleeve, Ace Faroleros, and A Surprise Package

This DVD are unlike any other we have released before. This is your opportunity to spend three hours in the company of Roberto Giobbi and learn some of the finest card magic conceivable.

You will learn great and powerful magic! It would be awesome if Roberto continues with this kind of downloads, I would love to see Giobbi on Dingle, on Ascanio and on Marlo.

Thank you Vanishing Inc for producing such great downloads!

It doesn’t get much better than this. Roberto Giobbi, the renaissance man of card magic, performs three pieces from three of his favourite originators and then, after giving some background, fully explains them, including the touches that elevate them to classic status
Gary
I bought this DVD because I wanted to learn tricks from the masters Vernon Elmsley and Garcia and ten they are taught my Roberto Giobbi who has a very laid back teaching style and each trick is taught in intricate detail . Three of the tricks that stand out for me are emotional reaction (Vernon) 1002nd aces (Elmsley) and a lady up my sleeve (Garcia) but all of tricks are very good.

Roberto Giobbi is a master of card magic in his own way and these tributes to our previous masters is a nice way to bring the tricks in the old books to life. Definitely worth exploring for any serious card worker and as always, Super amazing for Andi and Josh to include these in their big sales events and holiday promotions. Like anything, all of these take time and practice so be sure to give it the time it deserves!

Just beautiful.
The tricks' selection, the perfomance and the explaination.

Amazing to watch
Mattia
Being made by Roberto Giobbi I was sure of the result, yet it struck me again!
Beautiful selection of tricks, amazing tribute to historic magicians, explainations themselves are a piece of art.
Another thing we don't find quite often is that Roberto puts the trick into a flowing routine, which to me is just an amazing gift
Vic
Classic
Paul
Superb collection. I was fortunate enough to see these classic effects performed by the three masters themselves, Elmsley, Garcia and Vernon (yes, I am an old-timer). Roberto Giobbi's performances and explanations are second to none. He adds many little touches and nuances that Elmsley, Garcia and Vernon would surely approve of and his engaging presentation shows why his reputation as a magician continues to shine. Big thumbs up to Vanishing Inc. for making the download available and at such a reasonable price.
