- From Roberto Giobbi:
"This is my handling of Dai Vernon's famous piece, "The Trick That Cannot be Explained", published in Lewis Ganson's Dai Vernon's More Inner Secrets of Card Magic. It is by no means meant as an improvement on an already sensational piece - you can't improve on a genius - but simply as an additional idea that you might occasionally want to use, and maybe even fool those in the know, let alone those who are not."

Overview
The Trick That Cannot Be Explained by Dai Vernon was published in Lewis Ganson’s Dai Vernon’s More Inner Secrets of Card Magic. TTTCBE is Roberto Giobbi’s version of the same trick. What Giobbi has added was the ability to have multiple outs and have the multiple outs in a single envelope. I like Giobbi’s work and admire most of what he does. What I don’t admire is when people release a trick and have you go to other sources for original and additional handlings that should have been included with what you purchased.Effect
The Trick That Cannot Be Explained falls under the category of Jazz card magic. There are some skilled performers in this subset of card magic such as Henry Evans of Argentina. When it comes to Jazz card magic, the trick only comes to a finish when the opportunity presents itself. In other words, after some shuffles and cuts, if the arrangement of cards presents the prospect for you to finish the trick, then you do so. However, if it does not then you must continue until the chance arises. This is not a trick that one brings step by step to a conclusion as in most card magic we see.Method
The method presented by Giobbi isn’t any different than what has been written about in other publications. It is the card man’s version of the baby gag used by mentalists. What Giobbi added was a multiple out and an envelope to present such. The envelope is nothing but a slightly modified pay envelope. Multiple shuffles, cuts, fans are the methods used until the target card is within sight. At that point the performer has to convincingly claim this was his intent all the while.Product Quality
On a six-page instruction sheet, you get the basic handling of TTTCBE. It covers the concept of how to make the trick progress through it stages until you can find a point to conclude. The instructions also cover the ways to handle the envelope and reveal the “prediction”. You will receive along with the instructions 4 "special" cards, and a gimmicked envelope.The instructions run you through a fictitious scenario. Statements such as “use one of Ganson’s spelling procedures or refer to Vernon’s suggestions if that doesn’t work” is not fully explaining the effect as far as I’m concerned.
