これぞデックスイッチのバイブル
カードマジックにおいてデックスイッチが自然に出来ることほど力強い武器は無いでしょう。
なんせ使うデックをまるごとすり替えられるわけですから。
しかし、この技法に関してギャンブリングテクニックとして解説されているものはいくつかありますが、マジックに使う技法として解説されているものはあまり見ません。
The Cooler のように優れたスイッチギミックもありますが、タイミングや体の運びなどを確実に理解すれば、ギミック無しでもデックスイッチは簡単にできます。
この本ではカードカレッジのロベルトジョビが、立った状態や座った状態、ジャケットの有無などに合わせた30を超えるデックスイッチの方法と、それを利用したいくつかのトリックを解説しています。
さらに、付属のボーナスDVDにはGeniiの75周年のコンベンションで行われたジョビの1時間25分のレクチャーショーが収録されています。
これは本来コンベンションの記録用に撮影された物で一般にリリースされる予定は無かった映像なのですが、今回この本が出るということで特別に付録された貴重な物で、ライブパフォーマンスにおける数々のデックスイッチを見ることが出来ます。
163ページのハードカバー本です。
英語の本ですが、写真やイラストも多いので辞書片手に読み解く価値のある一冊です。
The strongest card tricks most often depend on a stack or special deck. Unfortunately, if you start with a gaffed deck, as soon as you have accomplished the impossible feat, its very strength causes audiences to say, "Let me see those cards!" With a deck switch, they can, because you just switched the gaffed deck for a normal one, which they can even take home! A deck switch can also allow you to start with an ordinary deck, convince everyone it's you and not the cards causing the magic-then you switch in your gaffed or stacked deck and unleash a stunning effect. Deck switches can create extraordinary, incomprehensible effects-as long as the switch isn't detected or suspected.
And there lies the challenge. Everyone knows about switching decks. We've all heard that card cheats do it, and magicians. In reality, though, very few magicians switch decks, because it is commonly perceived as too difficult to get away with. And since everyone knows about switching decks, even a suspicion that a deck switch might have occurred can completely undermine a performance. Therefore, if you use any deck switch, it must be not only imperceptible, but also unimaginable.
Roberto Giobbi teaches you precisely how to do this-standing, seated, with and without a jacket-using shrewd psychology, not knuckle-busting sleights or special gimmicks or apparatus. The only things required to do these professional switches are decks of cards and your pockets. Giobbi teaches dozens of methods for imperceptibly switching decks, along with the psychological principles behind them; principles that allow the reader to apply and modify deck switching techniques to suit any circumstance.
And along the way, Giobbi explains some very strong card magic.
As is expected from Roberto Giobbi, the techniques and tricks in this book are not pipe dreams. They come from his professional repertoire, sharpened by hundreds of performances and explained with all the detail only a world-class teacher can bring to a subject.
There is no other book devoted to this important topic-and it holds information that will be of tremendous value to beginning and advanced card magicians alike. The Art of Switching Decks is an in-depth study teaching over 30 deck switches and a few remarkable tricks.
