The word is out about this great DVD "I am so impressed. First, for a lecture video it is extremely well filmed and quite clear. Second, the magic and the thinking involved is absolutely phenomenal. I added three ideas to my performing repertoire. I cannot tell you how much material I typically have to wade through to maybe get one idea I'll use. I have been into magic for 26 years and see a lot of material as Project Coordinator for a major magic distributor. However, I learned so much important information from this tape simply in the thinking and attention to detail. Bravo. I feel like I found the treasure chest with The Roberto Giobbi Video." - Tim Trono
This 112-minute, broadcast-quality video was shot with two cameras and contains these truly great routines, which all receive the Giobbi treatment:
Many of those who had the chance to see this lecture felt that it was probably the best ever presented at the British Close-Up Magic Symposium-and now you can see for yourself!
Running Time 1 hr 52 minutes

PALMS OF STEEL #3 SILVERADO by CURTIS CAM
It was summer 2002 and the West was filled with brawls, bordellos and treachery. A motley crew of would-be train robbers packed a local saloon (strangely resembling the IBM convention) and called themselves "magicians". Cards flew and coins changed hands, but it all stopped when sheriff Curtis Kam walked in. They could tell he was a professional who did miracles. But before they could thank him, he and the money were gone. Here's what they saw:
Through and Through - Folks back East call this a "Karate Coin", you'll call it a coin that just won't stay put. It comes out through the bottom of your pocket, passes up through your fingers, then down through your left hand, up through the right, then gets lost inside, honest! Finally, it pops out STUCK ON YOUR FINGER! You pull it right off, and then stick it back on real slow!! You try to put it away, but it keeps on slipping through your pockets! Finally, you leave it for the buzzards to pick at. Experienced hands will realize that you're reset, and back in the saddle again.
Triple Alliance - A newfangled, ground breaking Copper/Silver/Brass routine with a triple transposition climax, without the usual gaff, and none of that "If the silver is here, then what's in my hand" nonsense. This is magic, not a gol-darned guessin' game!
4 Co Pro and Super 4 Co Pro - Marshall Reed McClintock stepped up to defend the town with the scariest production of four silver dollars ever seen. The first version is his original handling from "Knucklebusters" and it's enough to clear the room. The "Super" is the top-secret improved handling that he didn't tip in the book because it's just too darn good. Learn to do either of these and you can ride with me anytime.
Inverted Matrix - A four-coin gaffless reverse matrix that has things no other reverse ever had. It works on any surface, has the world's easiest retention pass, employs a new pickup move that shows both sides of the card, AND, you hardly ever touch the coins, so sleight-of-hand seems impossible.
Copper Silver Bent - The cleanest version of the classic transposition ever seen. Your hands start palm up and empty. You don't just repeat the trick, you top it by having the spectator unwittingly bend the silver coin in their own hand! For table-hoppers, there's no lapping, sleeving, or sneaky trips to your pockets. Warning for tenderfoots and greenhorns- You have to back-clip a coin-but don't cry mama. It's just one, and thanks to the gaff, it's 98% angle-proof.
Sandwich Move-a-thon - Even a rootin'-tootin' funslinger has to do a card trick every now and again. This is the six-phase routine to keep in your back pocket for times when your shootin' irons are too hot. Six tasty sandwich effects all done up pretty so they flow like a river. Do all six, and you'll ride out of town a card-handling legend. Or stop at one, two, or three if the crowd gets ugly. Combines the work of Earl Nelson, Robert Walker, David Solomon, John Carney, Martin Nash, Harry Lorayne, Derek Dingle and Larry Jennings into a relentless feast that you can pick up and take with you. It's not just a trick, it's a whole act!
ITEM # DVD0402 PRICE $30.00
This is the first time Luke has allowed any of his work to appear on film, and we are sure it will prove to be a real treat for magic lovers. This DVD features material from 7 Deceptions and brand new developments of effects from 7 Deceptions as well as some unpublished material.
Contents Include
For Andruzzi: Stop your own pulse...with no gimmicks! And-stop a spectator's pulse without even touching them! No stooges, confirmed by another audience member, this is the real work!
A Twisted Palm: During a palm reading, the lines on the spectator's palm apparently move and twist on their own. A stunning combination of linguistics, psychology and neurology.
The 7th Deception: A new version of an effect that saw print in 7 Deceptions. Mixing suggestion and magic to achieve a powerful and touching moment as well as a strong performance piece of mentalism. This is the way Luke uses this effect in every show.
And If I fall: A coin disappears from the performers hand reappearing in the closed fist of a spectator.
Synchronized: A spectator thinks of a time, another spectator amazingly set the hands of a face down watch to the very time thought of by the first spectator.
A Darker Dai: A brand new version of an effect that first saw print in 7 Deceptions. Five objects are displayed a spectator is asked to simply cast a shadow over one of the five. While the performers back is turned. Upon turning back around the performer correctly senses which of the objects was selected. All wrapped in a neat story making a wonderful performance piece of strong mentalism.
The Burst Bubble Suggestion: A versatile method of causing a spectator to actually feel their thought "pop" out of their mind and into the mind of the performer.
All performed in a real world setting and then explained in detail
