Unexpected Agenda Unexpected Agenda Unexpected Agenda

Unexpected Agenda is the sequel to Secret Agenda and Hidden Agenda, completing the trilogy of one of the most unusual and acclaimed publications in the world of magic. It is your invitation to spend a year inside the head of Roberto Giobbi!

There, for every day of that year, you will open a fresh door in Giobbi‘s mind and have something surprising and enriching spring out to greet you—a new trick, sleight, technique, refinement, performance tip, business strategy, concept or insight, drawn from the thoughts, experience and notebooks of a full-time international performer and one of magic’s great teachers.

With Unexpected Agenda, Roberto Giobbi, the world-renowned author of theCard College and Card College Light series, has written an invaluable text for his fellow magicians, and one entirely unlike anything in the literature of magic. Unexpected Agenda contains 365 articles, one for each day of the year. The reader is invited to read just one of these articles a day—enjoying, learning, absorbing or being challenged by fresh thoughts and information—throughout an entire year.

For over four decades, Roberto Giobbi has devoted his life to exploring the world of magic, learning deeply about it from its vast international literature and the greatest magicians. Those whose unpublished work Giobbi draws on include Fred Kaps, Ascanio, Juan Tamariz, Lennart Green, Vanni Bossi, and many others.

Over the years Giobbi has methodically, meticulously, exhaustively kept records of all he has learned. Unexpected Agenda is more than the work of one performer. It is an accumulation of priceless information, gathered from a lifetime dedicated to the study and performance of magic, laid out idea by idea, day by day, for the reader to enjoy and profit by.

While the material presented addresses in part the expected field of card magic, it covers much more: coin and close-up magic, platform and stage conjuring, theory, philosophy and humor. Unexpected Agenda is wide in scope, with invaluable information and insights for all magicians.

We have attempted to give a work of such uniqueness a fitting format. Unexpected Agenda is a large, sumptuous volume, bound in ornately foil-stamped cloth, and includes a book ribbon—a volume comfortable to the hand and inviting to the mind, offering pleasure for much more than one year, and advice for a lifetime.

384 pages in decorated hardcover binding, simply a beautiful book for students, readers and even collectors!

  • John asks: I have Card College 1 - 5 and Card College Light. Is this new material?

    • 1. Ridgely answers: Each of the books in this series is a compilation of daily readings that Giobbi has done. So he writes about things he likes to read, methods for carrying equipment, how he scripts, how he thinks about tricks and magic, thoughts about life and philosophy as they bear on magic. These books are definitely NOT the same as either of the Card College series, and they're excellent if you want a peek into the mind of one of the best thinkers about magic alive today.
