Switching a deck of cards while playing any card game is one of the most deadly forms of cheating and many stories have been told about the “Cold Deck.” Although this book's target audience is magicians it is still full of valuable information for the “professional gambler.”

Roberto Giobbi teaches you dozens of methods and strategies on how to switch decks 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. You will learn all the methods for imperceptibly switching decks, along with the psychological principles behind them; principles that allow you to apply and modify deck switching techniques to suit any circumstance.

As a special bonus you get access to a 90-minute video of Roberto Giobbi's lecture at the Genii Convention where he performed and explained many of the techniques and the psychology behind them.

The Art of Switching Decks is an in-depth study teaching more than 30 deck switches and a few remarkable tricks. Published by Hermetic Press in 2013 (This is the later Penguin Magic edition). A 10.25" x 7.25" hardcover with dustjacket. 163-pages with many photographs.
