Imagine cards being chosen and lost without any contact with the deck, yet he still manages to find them.

In Thinking the Impossible, Ramón Riobóo unveils many of his award-winning secrets, designed to astonish both audiences and fellow magicians alike. When he casually mixes a worn deck while appearing distracted, be ready for your understanding of reality to be turned upside down.

A retired television director and close friend of Spain’s legendary magician Juan Tamariz, Riobóo combines his knowledge of drama, entertainment, and focus with a cunning approach to magic. Just when you think you have him figured out, he reveals another layer of deception, leading you down a path of wonder.

Riobóo specializes in blending mathematical principles with psychological subtleties, creating experiences that defy comprehension. Occasionally, he adds a touch of sleight-of-hand or a prepared card, resulting in jaw-dropping astonishment and delight.

His work has gained significant recognition among English-speaking magicians, particularly through Steve Beam’s Semi-automatic Card Tricks series. In Thinking the Impossible, he delivers on his reputation with thirty-nine intricate tricks and routines, infused with cleverness and psychological persuasion, resulting in a captivating collection of card magic.

The White Queen once told Alice, “Sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.” After experiencing Ramón Riobóo’s magic, you’ll find yourself surpassing that record regularly.
