 Hey everybody, welcome back to magic orthodoxy. My name is David and this is a magic review Hey today, we're gonna look at three books from Roberto J. Obey This is card college light the card college light series Comes in the light lighter and lightest of three books in this series. It is a easy self-working Companion set to Roberto's card college series his giant master College level graduate level Card magic series. This is his lighter Version and it's the version that I own and the version I love and the version I highly recommend now If you don't know Roberto J. Obey, he is of course a world-acclaimed Slight of hand card magician. He originally wrote the card college series It's a tax that focuses just on the highest caliber of card tricks And it covers every single gambit from slights to moves to shuffling to tricks to it's just amazing Now the card college light series is intended for beginners But anybody else intermediate advanced anybody who likes Self-working and easy card tricks these three books are intended for anybody who've always wanted to perform card tricks But maybe they didn't have the time to learn all those hard nacky moves Or maybe they didn't have the years of experience necessary to do a lot of the difficult techniques So yes, this book is for beginners, but it is not strictly for beginners It's for anybody that loves card magic I think people who already do card tricks people who already adapted slights would still like this because these Books are just a class apart from other books that tend to be for beginners or tend to be what they call Slightless or self-working because there is a lot of artistic consideration put into these books Roberto goes over all of the staging all the communication all the psychology gives you tons and tons of notes There's beautiful pictures. He gives you the history behind all of these card tricks, which he would argue helps mature you as a Magician card college light it strives to be as simple as possible But yet at the same time giving you some just amazing knockdown Blow the door off cool card tricks a lot of the card tricks in these three volumes I perform on a regular basis. They're the tricks that I love the most And I I love self-working. I love Slightless tricks. I think they're neat Especially when you can perform them and they look like insane magic and it is possible And please don't think that you've gotten to this point where you're just above You know self-working tricks or you're above Slightless tricks that should never be the case You should always be revisiting Simplicity you should always be trying to strip away some of the excess and the extra in your tricks to hone it down to something That's elegant and beautiful. I think that's what Roberto has done in these three volumes So each one of these tricks and these volumes are time-tested Classics these little known miracles and all of them not just Roberto's Some of them are Done by world-class master magicians. Each one of these tricks has been hand-picked By Roberto and put into these three volumes light is separated into 21 tricks which enables you to do seven complete Car routines lighter is actually broken up into routine. So he'll actually teach you Routines and little sets little vignettes of three. You'll learn 21 tricks all together This book is a hundred and seventy five pages in hardcover lightest Which is easily my favorite of the three volumes has 18 tricks and covers everything in a hundred and fifty two papers Now these books are roughly thirty five to forty dollars a piece So a little bit more than maybe what you're expected to pay But granted you have to think about the mass amount of card tricks that you're getting in these volumes and please Don't let the words self-working or Slightless deter you from this anybody who knows Card magic knows this name and they know that he does not put out garbage These belong right on your shelf right next to the card college series and as a series of card books I cannot more highly recommend them All right, so that is the card college light series from Roberto J. Obie And if you'd like to purchase your own you can find these at penguin magic calm. Thanks. Bye
