Follow The Leader by Roberto Giobbi is a great trick that can be presented easily and elegantly, and
requires very little practice in the technical aspect of the trick. The presentation, however, is
extremely important, and is stressed highly by Giobbi in the tutorial. His ideas on how to boost the
effect through presentation are great, and are great food for thought for the beginning magician.
Also, it's worth noting that the video is very well produced, and Roberto Giobbi is an
absolutely amazing teacher!

What a bargain this is, would easily pay 10 times the price
for this effect, could be used as an
ending for an OOTW
effect when you offer to show the spectators how to do it.
This was
exactly what I have purchased it for.
Beautifully explained by Mr Giobbi who seems a very
nice man,
easy to do but practice is required to get the flow and
presentation, there are a
few convincers when performing this
which all adds to the HOW CAN THIS BE POSSIBLE.
All
in all BRILLIANT and FANTASTIC value for money, almost
giving the effect away.

I am a hobbyist and I love it when you can use an ordinary deck of cards to blow people's minds.
This effect is guaranteed to entertain you as much as the spectators. Easy to do with plenty of room
to spice up the patter and tailor it to your personality. A steal at this price!

I give this effect 4 stars mainly because it is entirely impromptu and can be done with a borrowed
deck. The instruction is excellent. It may not be a "knock your socks off effect" but it is good
solid magic with a series of entertaining phases. This is not difficult to do and I would advise
buying it. This can fit into any program where a deck of cards is in use, or it can stand on it's
own as a single card trick!

I really love this trick and so reasonable for the price charged for the download, and the
explanation/s given by Roberto Giobbi are first class. Have paid much more money for card tricks in
the past, and have not been as good as this one.

Awesome Trick , anytime anywhere effect , only catch is that you require a table but its well worth
it , its different , its fun , and people actually enjoy the effect , its not an opener and
certainly not a closer but it makes a very nice in between trick , only reason it lost a star is
cause its not something you can just present as a quick trick and it works best if people already
know your a magician and you already made your impression , im not the biggest fan of doing tricks
of making stacks or piles etc but this changed my mind , its worth it , almost no sleight of hand ,
maybe one real move and the rest is natural. just buy it

For me "Follow the Leader" is the second presentation of Roberto Giobbi after watching his live
lecture at Penguinmagic some weeks ago. He gives the spectators a lot of advice and informs about
the history of the routine in his entertaining manner. His explanation is perfect. It took me not
too much time to learn and to improve my personal presentation. Now the routine is part of my
programm in tablemagic.

Aside from being a neat and straightforward classic effect that can be done in a normal deck,
Roberto's concept and psychology in this effect weighs more than anything. Amazing!

This is my first purchase of any material of Roberto Giobbi's. Based on this experience, I'm sure it
won't be last.
Mr. Giobbi has transformed a great effect into a highly effective theatre piece.
It demonstrates a great degree of thoughtfullness in regards to maintaining the impact of the
original but not allowing technique to overcome impact.
I enjoy learning intricate sleight of
hand as much as the next "move monkey" however this handling is the embodiment of the adage that "
It isn't what you do, but how you do it".
I look forward to more material from this gentleman.
On a more practical note, this a steal at the asking price.
I'm not a mindreader but I'm
sure you know what to do...

"Follow the Leader" is another hit from Roberto Giobbi. Like his other effects, the instructions are
clear and easy to follow. All of the little extras he gives really enhances the value of the effect.
