Here is Aldo's latest effort on putting together smart comebacks, insults and one-liners. Besides insults and comebacks you will also find a section with various funny one-liners to use during your shows. Although Aldo wrote the lines with SHE or HE, the subject can be, of course, easily switched. Please be aware that some one-liners are crude and/or contain ‘blue’ material.

1st edition 2010; 19 pages.

This is Aldo's second volume of impromptu card tricks. Once again the rules that he required were simple: That the tricks be based on subtle moves and principles only rather than difficult sleights. Most importantly, the tricks had to be totally impromptu with no set-ups. Eventually he did, however, allow a few easy moves such as a card control, a force or a simple sleight; moves that still are very easy to master and perform.

Tricks are organized into the following categories. The last one is a section on simple sleights and procedures:

• The Four Aces
• Amazing Coincidences
• Baffling Revelations ...

The routines use subtle moves and principles rather than difficult sleight of hand to produce entertaining card effects that anyone can do. More important, no gimmicks, and no set-ups whatsoever. Grab an ordinary, even borrowed deck of cards and amaze your spectators with incredible card effects.

CONTENTS:

• THAT'S NEAT (Paul Gordon): You and a spectator each take half of the deck and then a card from each half. You both place these cards reversed in the middle of the two piles and the two cards magically change places.
• FULL SPEED ACE (Aldo Colombini): The Ace of the same suit of the selected...

Magic for stand-up and walk-around performers with effects that do not require a table. Fifteen routines with cards, coins, rubber bands, sponge balls, rope, finger rings, bills, jumbo cards and even a carpenter’s ruler!

[Note that these routines are also taught in the ebook: Standing Room Only.

Including:

• CHINESE PURSE: A Chinese coin appears on a rope between two knots.
• INTERCHANGE: A stunning in-the-hand four-card transposition.
• IMAGINARY JOURNEY: Four Kings assemble in one packet revealing, at the same time, two selected cards.

• RING THRU:...

In this set of notes you will find several tricks and routines that have served Aldo well during the last few years as a stand-up performer. In fact, the tricks explained here can all be done standing up as no table is required and are great for walk around or strolling magic. Done this way you simply use the hands of the spectators to help you.

Aldo has written these tricks and routines with the assumption that you already know some basic magic such as a card control, a Double Undercut, an Elmsley Count and the like. Aldo's purpose here is not to teach you ‘sleights’ but rather ‘routines’...
