What do you get when you ask the foremost scholar of card magic about his favorite magicians? You get Favorites: a collection of various studies on three of the best card magicians we’ve ever known: Alex Elmsley, Frank Garcia, and Dai Vernon!
For each artist, Mr. Giobbi provides background information on that person and highlights the influence of the tricks from a modern perspective. You’ll see a performance by the three magicians—Elmsley, Garcia, and Vernon—and then be shown step-by-step how to perform the tricks.
The following routines are explained:
Dai Vernon — Emotional Reaction, Four of a Kind, and Slow Motion Aces
Alex Elmsley — All Backs, Double Swap, and 1002nd Aces
Frank Garcia — A Lady Up My Sleeve, Ace Faroleros, and A Surprise Package
