Three packets of cards are introduced. Three spectators each select a card from the packets and these cards are seen to be the only cards with DIFFERENT COLORED BACKS!

Requires three blank-faced cards.

A stunning routine that you'll enjoy performing and your spectators will love to watch. The performer shuffles a blue-backed deck. A spectator selects a card (say the 8D) and signs it on the face. The card is then lost in the deck. Three blank-faced cards with red backs are shown and the performer says that he will print an exact duplicate of the selected card. A back of a red-backed card is erased so that now it is blank and a blue back is then printed on this card. A duplicate of the selected card is then magically printed on the face of this blue-backed card. Wait a moment! To have an EXACT...

Alchemy ran for a brief two years and was much loved by its subscribers. Appearing every two months it was also a unique magazine in that it was what is called a "house" magazine put out by not one magic dealer but two, Practical Magic and PH Marketing. There were no columnists, just tricks. There were 92 tricks described in just 12 issues.

Being a past editor of the magazine Paul has picked out what he thought were the best card contributions, nineteen in all. If you missed the magazine, you will find these effects worthy of your attention. For the most part, these are easy effects to do....

An effect by Roy Walton. The most colorful packet trick ever. What a fantastic routine this is. A packet of four blue-backed cards (say all 8 of Clubs) changes to red-backed cards, then to green backs and then to yellow. Then the four cards are one of each color and, for a stunning finish, the four cards change into the four Aces (or blank cards or Jokers)!

Requires regular cards with different colored backs.

You remove two packets of cards, one visible and one invisible. The visible packet contains four blank cards. "The invisible packet contains the instructions on how to perform the trick." You slip the first invisible card into the face-down packet and run it through, whereupon it turns visible. It reads, MAKE A MAGICAL GESTURE OVER THE PACKET. The spectator does this. Another instruction card appears and says, SNAP YOUR FINGERS OVER THE PACKET. The spectator does this as well. The final instruction card appears and it reads, SAY YOUR FAVORITE MAGIC WORDS. The spectator does this as well. "I...

Dai Vernon… Il Professore, The New York Card Expert, Cranky Old Man Of Magic ed altre numerose definizioni che amici, estimatori, colleghi, discepoli e avversari gli hanno dato nel corso dei suoi gloriosi 98 anni di vita.

L'UOMO CHE INGANNO' HOUDINI è il primo saggio bibliografico su Dai Vernon in italiano; un'opera dedicata a colui che è stato il punto di svolta epocale per lo sviluppo e la maturità della cartomagia e del close-up moderni. Il pioniere di una magia d'altri tempi eppure ancora così moderna: efficace, naturale e misteriosa. Proprio come dovrebbe essere.

Nell'ebook,...

Four amazing distinct changes: First, four cards of one value (say the four Fours) are shown. They have blue backs. One by one each of these blue-backed cards turns face down. Second, all the cards change to red backs. Third, the faces all change to red suits. Fourth, the backs are now marked, each has a large X printed on it! Instead of the X's any message can be revealed.

Requires three blank backed cards.

You give the four Kings to a spectator. You cut the deck saying that you'll now cut to one of the Queens. The spectator's task is to try to pick the King that will be the perfect mate for the Queen you cut to. Remove the top card of the deck and the spectator picks ANY King. The two cards prove to be the King and Queen of Clubs! This is successfully repeated with the remaining Kings and Queens. Then a big surprise occurs: On the back of the four Queens four hearts appear!

Requires four double-backed cards and heart stickers.

Ten routines, half close up, half stand up and like most of Chris's material it is easy to do and suitable for beginners.

The effects here share a common thread, they each have a little mental twist (there are a number of predictions for instance).

MELTING SPOON

This is Gerard's take on the classic bending spoon effect, but just between two fingers: the spoon visually melts. You will need to buy something you won't find in magic stores. (It will cost you just a few dollars.)

UNIVERSAL DETECTOR

A borrowed beer mat is torn and folded in half by a spectator. The performer writes "ALCOHOL BREATH ANALYZER" on it. The beer mat will bend when approaching a pint of beer or a glass of wine but not with a glass of water for instance! Very versatile method that can be very useful and bring something...

Un altro classico di Aldo Colombini, uno dei più richiesti. Vi trovi molte routines cartomagiche di effetto e di semplice esecuzione. Eccoti una breve descrizione di alcune:

CONTROCORRENTE:

L'amico Phil Goldstein pubblicò nel 1976 una routine su Pabular (una rivista inglese) chiamata Counter-Revolution. Poichè il tema delle carte rosse e nere mi ha sempre attirato, ho trovato la mia personale idea dell'effetto. Effetto :Le carte rosse e nere si scambiano di posto con un finale a sorpresa!

ALTERNANZA

Il gioco è un ottimo seguito alla Routine Controcorrente. Può essere, inoltre,...

These two routines were created by Rachel Colombini. You can perform them separately or combine them together to obtain a very magical sequence.

First Effect: Three cards move from one packet to another. This is probably the easiest cards across ever!

Second Effect: You and the spectator find three matching pairs.

Requires three double-backed cards.

Card routines for the working performer.

Contents:

• THE MAGICIAN (Sam Schwartz): A packet of double-backed cards is shown. The cards then each contain a letter that spells MAGICIAN (or any other message).
• DRAW A BLANK (Aldo Colombini): Perhaps my most famous trick. A card is freely selected and it is the only printed card in an otherwise blank deck. No rough and smooth. No difficult sleight of hand.
• HATS AND RABBIT (Rachel Colombini): You show a prediction. Five cards with rabbits and a hat are shown and shuffled by a spectator. The prediction shows the same order as the packet held by the spectator. ...
