    Much like John Scarne's Card Trick book from years ago, Giobbi has developed an entire book of effects that require no sleight of hand. He also takes it a step further by putting this into sections of openers, mid-routines, and closers so you can put together your own routine if you'd like. So how are the effects? Up and down.

    Some are pretty good. "The Card Sharp's Triumph" is one that takes a few minutes to learn but makes people think you have way more ability than you actually do as long as you build it up right. There are also a couple of poker routines and one routine that involves choosing a movie star from a list of 150 of them, counting down cards, and finding your chosen card matches the one held by the star in a photo that's been sitting in a sealed envelope the whole time. Unfortunately, making a decent photocopy of the picture or the list is next to impossible thanks to the way it's laid out in the book, so you can plan to do a little bit of doctoring on another photograph later if you have the skills (or know someone with a baby you can photograph).

    Will you use every routine in this book? No. But they are all explained in detail with great illustrations so it's easy to follow along. Even if you don't use the routine as written you can probably find a few things to change here and there to make it your own.

    I've been doing card work for a while, and I still found a few things in this book that I loved and added to my repetoire immediately.

    I love self working and sleightless card magic and Roberto Giobbi delivers on all fronts. Each trick is well written, through with patter and concept and has beautiful artwork, Already an experienced card shark? No problem - this book contains powerful magic and great concepts - this is not your Dad's beginner card magic book - this is the Card College Son - you're about to get schooled! Out of the three in the series - this is my least favorite, but there is still workable material here.
