Title: Favorites
Creator: Roberto Giobbi
Publisher: Vanishing Inc
MSRP: $ 30
Skill Level: intermediate
DVD Run time: 3 hours and 25 minutes

What happens when the foremost scholar on card magic is asked about his favorite magicians? You get Favorites, a collection of magic that assembles separate, serious studies on three of the greatest card magicians of all time:

Alex Elmsley https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Elmsley

Frank Garcia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Garcia_(magician)

Dai Vernon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dai_Vernon

In each case, Mr. Giobbi provides background information on the person, and frames the influence of the tricks in a modern perspective. Then you'll see a performance of three pieces by Elmsley, Garcia, and Vernon, followed by step-by-step instruction on each piece.

Giobbi has selected three of his favorite tricks from each of his "favorites." Some are well-known, while others will likely be new to you.

You will learn:

From Vernon - Emotional Reaction, Four of a Kind, and Slow Motion Aces
From Elmsley - All Backs, Double Swap, and 1002nd Aces
From Garcia - A Lady Up My Sleeve, Ace Faroleros, and A Surprise Package

This DVD is unlike any other Vanishing Inc has released before. This is your opportunity to spend three hours in the company of Roberto Giobbi and learn some of the finest card magic conceivable.

It will surely be one of your Favorites!
