The Art of Switching Decks by Roberto Giobbi

Product detailed description

Switching a deck for another one is fantastic for a trick itself, but it is even more powerful when working with a trick or stacked deck.

Imagine letting your spectator shuffle the deck, immediately switching it out for a stacked one, and continuing with your memorized/stacked deck magic. Or you can do it the opposite way. Perform a trick with, for example, a Svengali Deck, and then switch it out for a standard one your spectators can inspect.

Deck switches are an underused tool in magicians’ arsenals. If you’re working with trick or stacked decks, we highly recommend at least exploring a few deck switch ideas. And possibly the best source for that is The Art of Switching Decks book by Roberto Giobbi.

Roberto shares and explains more than thirty deck switches in great detail and includes additional tips and ideas for even more switches. All of the switches are gimmickless. All you need is pockets. The book comes with a DVD with Roberto’s lecture, where you can see him perform some of the switches included in the book.
