I really liked it. Roberto covers everything about the effects he performs (psychology behind the moves, etc.). I recommend it.

I was planning on getting this because I have heard really awesome things from others about it. They said it was the best DVD that came out that year. I think I will enjoy it.

Given the quality of his writings, I'm not sure how you can lose with this...I saw a quicktime video of him over at allmagic.com and I was pretty impressed.

I have it and it is very good!
The only bad review I heard concerning this DVD (or video) was by someone who already did some routines similar to the ones taught by Mr Giobbi, so he was a bit disapointed. But he did not complain about the explanantions, which are VERY good since Mr Giobbi goes beyond what is hapening on the table. I, for one, especially like his sponge routine at the end (and also his routine with business cards!) Hope this helps. Ronnie Lemieux Montreal Canada

In the interest of balance, I must say that I did not find this to be one of my better video purchases. It is one of those videos that some people will love and others will not. Probably there is no one who will say it is a poor video - just that it isn't one of their favorites.
My reasons for not liking the video is that I found the effects mediocre. I must be intrigued by the effects to really enjoy a video. Of course, many people will be quick to point out that providing innovative effects was not Giobbi's purpose in this video. Rather, his purpose was to dissect even basic effects and analyze their components. In this tape he is much more interested in breaking down the analytical process of trick construction and performance. Personally, I found the analysis overly tedious. There is even a decision tree that is so complex it is almost a parody. I respect Giobbi a great deal, as I think most people in magic do. But the conclusions you reach about this video will be grounded in how much detail you want to apply and articulate in constructing your magic. Gianni |
