Stand up Card Magic by Roberto Giobbi - Book

Bring card magic to banquet, corporate, trade-show, and theater audiences with Standup Card Magic by Roberto Giobbi. This book focuses on what changes when you perform for a larger group, from choosing material to managing spectators onstage.

• Built for larger audiences: Explore card magic for parlor, platform, and stage settings—not just close-up performance.
• Practical audience guidance: Learn about interacting with groups, selecting assistants, bringing them onstage, and managing their behavior.
• Performance tools: Giobbi discusses psychology, showmanship, spectator management, sleights, and presentation for stand-up magic.
• Thirteen card miracles: The book includes detailed explanations of routines from Giobbi’s professional repertoire.
• Ideas beyond the routines: Learn how to develop stand-up card magic and adapt card tricks from the close-up table for the stage.

If you already perform card magic close up, this book offers guidance for shaping it into a show for a roomful of people. Use Giobbi’s lessons to plan stronger stage moments, from your opening interaction to the way you handle helpers.
