“Reading this book will make you revise all the magic you do. I know of no other book in magic that is better food for thought.” Rafael Benatar
Roberto Giobbi believes that there is far more to a trick than its mechanics and presentation, and in this book Sharing Secrets, he discusses the essential ingredients of artistic magic; the hallmark of all successful magicians.
Roberto systematically takes existing magic theory (and shares many new observations of his own) and breaks them down in full detail, with examples from his own repertoire. Never before have these secrets been explained in such a detailed yet succinct manner, all in a single volume. Each of the 53 concepts are illustrated with a first-rate trick, technique or presentation from Roberto's working repertoire, written in a clear, engaging style from the esteemed author of the Card College series.
