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 […]
Columnist: Aldo Colombili See if you like the following easy approach to the classic Torn and Restored Card. To be honest with you I usually don’t like to tear cards, but I felt that the effect of the restored card on the audience is so incredible that it’s worth a few torn cards. It uses […]
Columnist: Aldo Colombili I have already told You that I like Oil & Water routines. As a matter of fact, I collect them. This routine has been in my repertoire since 1977 (how time flies!). It is strong in impact and it’s one of my all-time favorite effects. It is a nice lead in for […]
Columnist: Aldo Colombili After having read a booklet which included some ideas using a carpenter’s ruler by Daffen Dundee, and realizing that playing cards could be revealed with the ruler, the thought evolved into this routine. This trick is part of one of my acts and with the addition of some other comedy impressions and […]
Columnist: Aldo Colombili This is not an earth-shaker but it can be a nice interlude to something heavier. I’ll explain the basic idea with small and regular cards. The basic plot belongs, I believe, to Roy Walton, the clever cardman from Glasgow, Scotland. Several other magicians have explored this effect and have come up with […]
