This DVD teaches a full collection of false shuffles and cuts, all curated by Roberto himself.
You won't just learn all the wonderful and important sleights in card magic, you'll also learn the fine points, finesses, and subtleties of each one, so that you carry out the techniques the way connoisseurs do: with invisible precision.
We release a small amount of original content each year, but Card Magic Masterclass will be an enduring resource - a legacy, perhaps - to magicians for years to come. Thanks to Roberto Giobbi, magicians have an at-home academy to master ALL the important techniques in card magic. It's time to take your card magic seriously. It's time to start your Card Magic Masterclass.

If you’re remotely serious about card work you need a false shuffle and a control (ask Matt Schulien’s ghost). Take your pick from this EXCELLENT selection…!!
I don’t know why, but there’s something about Giobbi’s handling of these false shuffles and cuts that finally made them easy enough for even me to learn — and as a beginner-intermediate hobbyist, too. Yes, you have to practice them but it’s sure worth the time & effort.
If your learn better from video format over that of books this download is great. His combination overhand shuffle I put directly into use. I later saw Juan Tamariz uses it very deceptively also. This is a great asset for false shuffle work.
Simply put, a MUST.This is a true card magic masterclass! Thanks V for making this available. Such a luxury to have the maestro talking about the mechanics and even the details of the sound of the movements. Beauty! Watching him doing the moves together with his explanations is really priceless and insightful. After some practice I have improved many shuffles/cuts and feel much more confident about some of them that was really struggling with. The best is that there is something for everyone here (beginners to pros).Enough said.
Anything from Mr. Giobbi is great! I sat down on a Saturday morning and went through this lesson. It was very helpful, even the tips on some of the cuts and shuffles I was familiar with helped me advance my work.
What a luxury to be able to count on the great maestro Giobbi for more than 2 intense hours through the more than useful, vital, world of false cuts and shuffles. Any magician who includes card numbers in his routines will need to master these techniques that Giobbi teaches in a clear, didactic and simple way, with numerous repetitions and short shots to eliminate doubts and make learning simple. Thank you, thank you and thank you!
Roberto Giobbi provides excellent instruction. I greatly appreciate the psychological details for achieving maximum impact with the sleights. As expected, this material overlaps information found in his Card College books, but the videos allow you to "experience" the cuts and shuffles so the expected impact may be understood. Watching this expert of magic perform these sleights is enjoyable; even though you know the action is false, your eyes cannot tell the difference. This video helps you understand the goal you should be working towards.
