Columnist: Aldo Colombili Classics Handed Down from Generation to Generation … Nobody Wanted Them! Aldo Columbini Michael Close and Jon Racherbaumer have recently spoken on Cups and Balls and given their opinions. I don’t think that I will be called pretentious for saying that I too can offer a couple of thoughts about this matter […]
Columnist: Aldo Colombili MAMMA MIA MAGIC The only thing we all had in common was the fact that we all arrived into the Detroit airport and that we are involved in magic. And even our arrivals were different! We were almost all flown in on different airlines and at different times! Who are we? The […]
Columnist: Aldo Colombili Here you have a very interesting and strong piece of magic. This routine was inspired by a move that, I think, belongs to Darwin Ortiz. You’ll need a gaff card (which can be used over and over again), but please don’t be put off by this and read further. Harry Lorayne in […]
Columnist: Aldo Colombili This is a variation of a trick by Stephen Tucker. I have changed the modus operandi and I use a deck only and not a packet of duplicates. It was published in the past in Linking Ring magazine. Although the trick is relatively easy to do, it has an effective and bewildering […]
Columnist: Aldo Colombili Twist & Shout Card Apparitions are always welcome and seem to have a great appeal among magicians. I have something similar in my routine Nobody At Home (written elsewhere in this book) which is done on the table. The following variation is done entirely in your hands. It can be used as […]
Columnist: Aldo Colombili The Better Half or Second Best? By Andie Colombini In many relationships, whether husband-wife, girlfriend-boyfriend or any other combination, the couple works together. Usually, in the situation of perhaps a small store or retail establishment, the couple works hand in hand, each with their own strengths and weaknesses and each using their […]
Columnist: Aldo Colombili Trifle by Aldo Colombini Trifle by Aldo Colombini Frankly speaking, I still like Packet Tricks very much and this is one of my favorites. To me, they are fun to do, relatively easy in many cases and strong in impact. This routine is a non-faked version of Max Maven’s B-Wave and Twisted […]
Columnist: Aldo Colombili NOTE CLOSELY is the title of lecture notes by an English magician, David Jones. David is very clever and in his notes you’ll find a bunch of good routines, mainly with cards. As I was reading it, the first routine in the booklet interested me very much. It is a Triumph type […]
Columnist: Aldo Colombili This seemed so obvious to me that I imagine it may have already been done somewhere at sometime. Well, maybe so, but here it is anyway, my way. It was published in Harry Lorayne’s APOCALYPSE (Vol. 17, no. 4 April 1994) in my ONE MAN ISSUE. The basic handling is a Triumph […]
Columnist: Aldo Colombili Charlie Miller said, “Whenever you are going to do a card change, consider making one of them the Joker. This makes it much easier for the spectator to follow.” This is a Wild Card effect (thanks, Peter Kane!) and I have included a variation at the end with a stunning climax. The […]
