• SUPERIMPOSED (Arun Bonerjee): A spectator selects two symbols by cutting the deck. You predicted those symbols in a very original and funny way.
• ESP BUNDLE (Jozsef Kovacs): A spectator cuts the deck and places a face-up card in the middle (say a Cross). Then he makes packets of cards. At the top of each packet the same symbol appears. Finally, you find the fifth matching symbol.
• COLORIFIC (Felix Greenfield): A truly sensational effect. Five spectators freely select five cards each from the top or bottom of the deck at random and each find five different symbols.
• DOUBLETAKE (Max Maven): With the cards...

"Great trick!" - John Guastaferro

"Want a mini act in your pocket? Look no further! Pure, unadulterated Francis!" - Dave Forrest

"This is a fantastic and self-contained routine with a BORROWED bill, the ending caught me! I never saw it coming!" - Gary Jones

An incredible mini-act that fits in your pocket. Four phases of knock-out magic that you can do anytime, anywhere!

Phase 1
A five dollar bill is borrowed and signed. The magician claims he will make the bill vanish. He then says he might not be able to bring the bill back and in that case, would the spectator accept a cheque? At this point,...

Routines with two decks of cards.

CONTENTS:

• COINCIDENTAL CUT (Arthur Setterington): You place three blue-backed cards into three glasses. A spectator cuts a red-backed deck and takes three cards. They match your cards in the glasses.
• PARITY COINCIDENCE (Aldo Colombini): A spectator says stop while you deal cards in pairs. During this process one card is face up in the middle of both decks. The two cards on each side of the reversed cards are matching.
• BRAIN SELL (Peter Duffie): A spectator THINKS of one card from a blue-backed deck. From a red-backed deck the same card is removed and it has in...

Here you have ten strong routines by Aldo Colombini using special cards (easily found).

CONTENTS:

• ADD-ACADABRA: Two predictions. After a couple of gags, the predictions are shown correct.
• TURNING POINT: A card is reversed in the deck. Four double-blank cards are shown and one is selected. This card now bears the image of the chosen card which is now blank.
• CHIP-CHIP HURRAY: You show seven cards and two poker chips. One card is selected and the same image appears on one of the chips. The other cards are all blank.
• MICKEY FINN: One card is selected among six. This card has a poison sign...

From Val Andrews' introduction:

Three selected cards placed between two double-blank cards disappear one at a time leaving completely blank cards and reappear reversed in the middle of the deck!

Requires

• 3 double blank cards (blank on both sides)
• 1 double back card
• 3 blank backed cards (blank on one side, back on the other side)

Three great effects combined into a stunning routine.

HEAVY TRAFFIC: You place a prediction face down between two face-down Jacks. The prediction disappears. You try again placing the prediction face up between the two face-down Jacks and the prediction card vanishes once again. You place an 'invisible' prediction between the two Jacks. A spectator chooses a card, say the 7D. The Jacks are fanned and the invisible prediction has become visible. It is indeed the 7D!

SEIZE THE NIGHT: The two black Jacks capture the same amount of cards cut by a spectator and then capture a previously freely...

A new and novel paper effect! Do not confuse this with the old Squircle effect. Although similar, this is a greatly improved version. A double sheet of newspaper is shown on both sides. It is folded into quarters and a small 2" square is cut from a folded corner. (In the original Squircle, a double sheet of newspaper is folded in half and a semicircle is cut out.) The 2" square is unfolded showing it is actually a 4" inch square.

The double sheet of newspaper is partly unfolded. Instead of the expected rectangular shape, the audience sees a semicircle! (You cannot do this with the old Squircle.)...

A startling series of visual card changes created by Didier Dupre and performed by Aldo Colombini. The routine is based on the Paul Gordon trick called "Spectrum." This is an amazing card trick which is fun to do and has a stunning climax. You show four cards which are mis-printed, in fact they have faces on both sides (the cards are clearly shown on each side). One card is placed in the pocket but it comes back to the packet in hand and this time it has a back. The other cards develop a back as well and you now show four cards with different colored backs and all can be examined!

A second...

Created by Raphaël Czaja, performed by Aldo Colombini. An incredible version of the classic "B'Wave" where any card can be selected. No 'equivocal' choices! You show four-of-a-kind (say Queens). One Queen is FREELY selected. This is the only Queen in the packet, the other three cards are blank!

Requires two blank-faced cards and two blank-backed cards.

1st edition 2012; 31 pages....

Created by Cameron Francis. Performed by Aldo Colombini. You introduce a packet of four cards blank on both sides. You split the cards into two piles of two cards each. Two cards are selected from a deck. You push the top card of one pile and on the lower card a message is revealed which reads, SPREAD THE DECK. The deck is spread and in the middle a face-up selection appears. The top card of the second pile is pushed forward and there's a message on the second card that says, TURN OVER THE TOP CARD. The top card of the deck is NOT the selection, but in turning over the top card of the pile a...

An outstanding packet trick with a smashing effect. Four Jokers turn face down one at a time. A Joker is placed into a pocket. The other cards are distributed on the table and they are still four, but now they are the four Fives!

Requires two double faced cards.

A routine by André Robert, performed by Aldo Colombini. Visual magic with several climaxes! The final climax will 'kill' your audiences! Eight blue-backed cards are split into two packets. In one packet all the cards turn face up. Then the eight cards alternate face up and face down. Finally, all the cards are red-backed and with crosses on their backs!

Requires four double-backed cards.

This is a great magician's fooler:

Borrow a Deck of cards. Have it freely shuffled by your spectator. Ask him to spread the deck on the table and to have a card selected. The card is placed back into the deck. And the deck is cut several times.

Note: At no point have you touched the deck or the card that has been selected. At least that is what the spectators will remember. In fact you will have to touch one card briefly, but it is so well hidden in plain sight that it will not be noted.

You ask the spectator to start dealing face down card by card, you ask him to stop when you feel...

Sie kennen "Sidewalk Shuffle"?! Viele Zauberkünstler haben versucht, den Nachteil der dabei verwendeten Karten zu beseitigen; die Ergebnisse waren nicht befriedigend, da während der Vorführung auch dann nicht jede Karte fair vollflächig von beiden Seiten gezeigt werden konnte. Mit Big Bang ist das nun möglich!

Demonstration mit 4 Karten (3 unbedruckte Karten, 1 normale Spielkarte), wie ein Falschspieler sein Opfer hereinlegt. So genau man auch aufpasst, der Falschspieler gewinnt. Zum überraschenden Schluss zeigt sich, dass 3 normale Karten und nur eine unbedruckte Karte auf dem Tisch...

Sie kennen TUWIT-Routinen ("Do as I do")?! Hier die ultimative Form!

Aus einem Kartenspiel werden vier rote und vier schwarze Karten entnommen. Die Karten werden natürlich einzeln von beiden Seiten vorgezeigt. Der Mitspieler entscheidet sich dann für die roten oder schwarzen Karten, die er auch einzeln in die Hand gezählt bekommt.

Dann werden langsam fünf identische Handlungen vorgenommen - jeweils mit einer einzelnen Karte. Werden die Karten dann normal ausgefächert, zeigt sich, dass der Mitspieler zaubern kann: Während beim Zauberer alle vier Karten rückenoben liegen, zeigt beim...

A stunning version of the 'wild card' theme.

An effect by Peter Duffie. Performed and explained by Aldo Colombini. A tremendous novelty and a big hit for your close-up act. A spectator cuts the deck and deals off four random cards. You now show a packet of seven cards - six of the cards have blank faces, the seventh is blank on both sides. The latter card is the special "image copier." The six blank-facers are laid out in pairs on the table. One by one, the image copier causes a selection to appear on each of the blank pairs. But that's only three of the selections - what about the fourth? In a dramatic...

An effect by Ken de Courcy. Performed by Aldo Colombini. A terrific three-phase routine with jumbo cards. Having enticed a spectator up to help, you hand him eight jumbo cards and say, "Please give me any four and keep four yourself." This done, both you and the spectator carry out some simple movements but when the cards are counted again, all your cards are face down while the spectator has one face up. This process is repeated with exactly the same result. There is obviously only one answer; the spectator will have to do the actions with both packets. He does so, yet your cards finish up all face down...
