Paper Cuts by Armando Lucero Vol 1

“Armando never does tricks, he washes away from people’s soul the dust of everyday life, with real magic, decades of passion and emotional pieces of art.”
– Yif

“This work exceeds any expectations. Armando is synonymous of work, perseverance, and good taste. But all above all, passion! This work is a true gift for magic.”
– Dani DaOrtiz

“Armando Lucero is putting something out. That sentence is reason enough to get this. I met Armando years ago and with some coins, a deck of cards, and a close-up mat at a breakfast table- he changed the way I look at magic. Every breath, every sound, every micro movement that he does is so tediously thought out and deliberate. His hands and mind were built for miracles.”
– Dan White

“Armando Lucero, in addition to personally being my favorite magician, is beyond question the foremost sleight of hand performer and magical thinker in our profession. In 80 years, he is the only magician I have ever seen whose effects look like real magic.”
– Johnny Thompson

“A true master, my first teacher, and now you have the opportunity to let him guide you, too… don’t miss out on that opportunity.”
– Paul Vigil

We are proud to announce our partnership with the most exquisite underground card master ever. For the first time in his career of over 35 years, Armando Lucero has decided to release the first level of his highly guarded workshop to the public. With a focus on psychology and magical theory, Armando shares his private thoughts and concepts as they apply to sleight of hand and magic with playing cards.

The concepts, however, can be applied to any kind of magic. Paper Cuts is the culmination of what Armando offers to Level 1 students and beyond of the art. Paper Cuts is a series of different routines that Armando has specifically constructed to teach lessons about the inner thinking behind magic and composing magical performance pieces.

Divided into 12 different routines, including a few variations and extra concepts, Armando shares not only performance pieces that are ready for a professional show, but also thoughts and ideas on how to improve all of your magic.

FAQ

What is Paper Cuts?

The Paper Cuts video series is not the Workshop, which is an online or in-person comprehensive study of magic and science beyond the scope of this exordium. However, it is a peek at Armando’s way of composing to serve as a primer before the Workshop; like a glance through a window into a cabin of a large ship upon the ocean. But a notable glance nonetheless.

It is an exhibition of ubiquitous classical material purposely tailored for a modern discerning audience. Being as accessible historical published works, this is, therefore, an opportunity to learn within the safety of what is familiar.

What kind of material is taught on this project?

Paper Cuts, as the name suggests, is composed of entirely card magic. Each DVD features a series of routines designed for real world work and performance. As well, each effect has an accompanying explanation and discussion. In the discussions, the effects are explained from a technical, theatrical, and philosophical point of view. There is also great care taken with each routine to teach an important lesson about performance, and how to apply those techniques and lessons to other routines in your show.

How is Paper Cuts related to the Coin Menagerie and Pasteboard Devices Workshops that Armando Lucero offers privately?

Paper Cuts is a completely different workshop and shares no effects or techniques in common with these other private workshops. The philosophy, theatrical technique, and advice is, however, consistent with all workshops that Armando teaches, including Paper Cuts.

red card roberto giobi

“It’s not often you get a pro’s closer, but Giobbi’s fantastic isolated thought is here; a great script with audience participation and an amazing effect rolled into one.” – Paul Vigil

“This has been one of my most closely guarded effects in my professional repertoire. With it I have fascinated laypeople and baffled magicians around the world. If I had to keep just three tricks in my working repertoire, “The Red Card” would be one of them. I consider it one of my masterpieces, and in the explanation, which really is a mini-lecture, I do not hold back anything: You get all it takes to astonish and entertain any audience at the highest level.” – Roberto Giobbi

“I recall the first time I saw Roberto Giobbi perform The Red Card. I was left with no explanation. Every solution I had was taken away. It fooled me completely. Roberto designed this effect to be the closer for his stand-up card act. Now it can be yours as Roberto is finally releasing this closely guarded secret.” – Tim Trono

“When I saw the performance, I thought I was on familiar ground. But Roberto has added a twist to the method that creates new possibilities, and some psychological touches to the presentation that make the effect particularly strong.” – David Britland

“A true miracle, with the masterful treatment of Roberto. The thorough explanations are full of wisdom that will lead our magical thinking into wonderful directions.” – Rafael Benatar

“I am not embarrassed to admit that I had no clue how Roberto Giobbi’s The Red Card was accomplished. And after learning the secret, I now know that the method is so well hidden beneath a plethora of layers, that intellect nor experience alone can comprehend the secret. This is a CLASSIC!” – Christian Engblom

Roberto Giobbi’s Red Card is a masterpiece of mental card magic. This trick comes straight from Roberto’s professional repertoire where he has used it as his closer for years and this effect has fooled some of the brightest minds in magic. Now, you can use it to devastate your audiences. This is Red Card by Roberto Giobbi.

Here’s what happens:

The performer displays a single red card in a glass as well as a blue-backed deck that can be displayed on the front and the back. The red card is placed onto the blue deck and then cut into the deck. The audience collectively chooses a card. What they say is what they get. The card they choose is the card that is removed from the deck. Impossibly, the card the audience selected is the red card.

Red Card comes with a very special deck that does the work for you so that you can focus on the presentation and entertainment. The true method of this effect is layered psychological touches and presentational elements that make this an extremely powerful and deceptive effect. When you combine these with the special deck, your audience doesn’t have a chance. Both the glass and the card the audience selects can be examined, and the card the audience selects can be different from performance to performance. You will also receive a bonus routine and gimmick for an alternate version of Red Card that Roberto has been lecturing on for years. This truly is a masterclass in performing a real mental miracle with a deck of cards. This is the show stopper your audiences have been waiting for. This is Red Card by Roberto Giobbi.

Michael Vincent – Brainwave My Way

Perform the greatest gimmick deck trick with a normal deck of cards.

Michael Vincent’s Brainwave My Way is a perfect way to perform one of the greatest card effects ever with a normal deck of cards. Brainwave My Way ends clean and is very easy to perform. Imagine being able to correctly predict ANY card named by a spectator without a special deck of cards. The spectator names ANY card, you spread a red deck of cards and from that spread you pull the only blue backed card from the deck. You guessed it, the blue backed card is the spectators previously named card.

No rough and smooth
No difficult moves
End Clean
Very little setup
