What they say about Ask Roberto:
“Imagine you are a guitar enthusiast and you would get the chance to ask Eric Clapton any question you ever wanted to ask him about his playing, his technique, his heroes, his equipment. Now you can be glad that you are a magic enthusiast and Roberto lets your wish come true! I have subscribed to it immediately and I only can recommend you to do so!” (Andreas Sucker)
“Ask Roberto is simply dazzling in its range, and in this regard unlike any other magic book I’m aware of. Yet the value of Ask Roberto isn’t found in the wide variety of the questions, but in the quality of the answers. Many of his replies, even to seemingly simple questions, run many pages long, and reflect a tremendous level of thought and care in their depth. Forcing one to think deeply about the art and craft of conjuring is one function of a truly great magic book, and is among the highest compliments I can offer to any author.” (Eric Mead in GENII)
“Roberto Giobbi is world renowned as an intelligent, learned ‘professor’ of magic, whose thoroughness and attention to detail, especially in the field of card magic, is now legendary… Ask Roberto is an unbelievable range of accurate information and opinion from one of the world’s leading magical thinkers.. It is is an absolutely fascinating book which I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone.” (MAGICSEEN)
