Columnist: Aldo Colombili Pirouette is a ballet term that means “a whirling around on one foot or the point of the toe.” It has nothing to do with the trick … maybe … but I liked the name! Probably what made me think of a Pirouette was the Paddle Move, the basic move required for […]
Columnist: Aldo Colombili Bottoms up for this control! It is one of the most deceptive controls that I know of. It’s based on a move by Harvey Rosenthal and I know that J.K. Hartman also has something similar. I use it all the time. This move is hard to beat when you have to control […]
Columnist: Aldo Colombili I think this is a showy routine, full of magic and I am very fond of it. It was published in Linking Ring Magazine (my third Parade, October 1994.) The approach is at least a different one, giving to the Assembly Type routine the variation of using a progressive theme. EFFECT: The […]
Columnist: Aldo Colombili Sometimes I fall in love with routines that are apparently not that strong but I do them regularly anyway as if they were miracles. I believe in them. This is one of those effects that gives me pleasure when I perform it. A similar effect is published in my book THE CLOSEUP […]
Columnist: Aldo Colombili This effect is commercial and funny. The original idea belongs to Terry Lagerould and I saw it published in the AUSTRALIAN MAGIC MAGAZINE several years ago. Here the plot remains the same but the handling has changed. The idea of also having the “cheese” caught in the trap was suggested by Bruce […]
Columnist: Aldo Colombili SELECTED CARDS Another one of my all-time favorites. This routine is very easy to do, has comedy in it and builds up to a strong climax. It is a good piece of impromptu magic. It was published in my SAND CASTLE lecture notes (my fourth lecture at the MAGIC CASTLE in Hollywood) […]
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 […]
