Under One HatAldo Colombini
Excerpt from the introduction:
Regarding the routines presented in these lecture notes, I have to point out that they are based on simple ideas and require practice only to the extent that you must be familiar with the sequence of handling in order to perform the effects smoothly.
Too often magicians ignore tricks which at first glance appear difficult. If the plot idea attracts your interest, give it ten minutes of your time. You’ll know soon enough if you like the trick or not.
The explanations of the tricks in these notes are somewhat brief but I consider them complete enough... | $12 to wish listPDF |
CheckmateAldo Colombini A spectacular series of 'sandwiches' with a deck of cards.
Aldo Colombini is back with Checkmate, another full routine never before published in English. The routine takes full advantage of the 'sandwich' theme, where selected cards mysteriously appear between pairs of Kings, and escalates into a series of transpositions and revelations that defy logic.
Much impressive is the “instant sandwich transposition”, where a selected card (that can be signed) instantly transposes from between the red Kings to between the black Kings while they are in the midst of two different packets. Each... | $12 to wish listPDF |
Card Tricks with the Tenkai MoveAldo Colombini
Before moving to the US, Aldo Colombini wrote several books in Italian. These books contain tricks and routines that have never been published in English. So, we decided to gradually make these works available in English. As friends of the late Aldo, we believe that none of his wonderful creations should be lost. This is the first translation. If there is a good reception, we will continue this work.
From the introduction
The Tenkai Turn Over has been only sparingly used in modern card magic (at least as far as I know). It is a secret move that allows you to perform the effect known... | ★★★★★ $10 to wish listPDF |

Grasshopper CardsAldo Colombini
You place the Ace, Two, Three and Four of Clubs on the table in a square formation as is typically done with matrix-type effects. You cover two cards with two jumbo cards. One by one all the cards assemble under one jumbo card.
You try to repeat the 'assembly' without the jumbo cards but the regular cards do not move. You turn over three cards and they are seen to be all blank. The other card is the 10 of Clubs, the sum of all the cards!
[Note: Aldo originally included the three necessary blank cards and the two jumbo cards. This download does not include these cards. You will have to supply them yourself.]

The PunchlineAldo Colombini A revelation of a freely selected card.
EFFECT: The performer places an envelope containing a prediction on the table. He shows a deck of cards, and he begins to deal cards onto the table. A spectator says 'stop' at any moment he likes. The stopped-at card is placed aside and kept by the spectator who chose it. Several cards before and after the selection are clearly shown to be all different, while the performer states that the spectator could have stopped him on any of them. The spectator reveals the chosen card, for example, the King of Spades, and the prediction is seen to be a Jumbo... | ★★★★★ $4.50 to wish listPDF |

UK Lecture Notes 2002Aldo Colombini Excerpt from the introduction:
In this set of notes you will find several tricks and routines that have served me well during the last few years as a stand-up performer. In fact, almost all the tricks explained here can 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.
I have written these tricks and routines with the assumption that you already know some basic magic such as a card control, an Elmsley Count and the like. My purpose here is not to teach you 'sleights' but rather... | $10 to wish listPDF |

ImpactAldo Colombini Cards, coins, ropes, and rings.
From Lothar Malmberg's introduction:
Between the covers of this book, you will find effects which are both quick and fun to perform, as well as items which play longer and are more involved. I think that you will especially enjoy the effects using ropes because Aldo introduces some clever new twists, which, if put together with your own Cut and Restored or Professor's Nightmare routines, will make a winning combination!

VarietàAldo Colombini In Italia, dal 1987 ad Ottobre 1990, Aldo Colombini, che allora era conosciuto col nome d'arte di Fabian,
curò personalmente , insieme al Mago Elliott, una Rivista di Magia e Cabaret che, insieme con Elliott, decisero di chiamare Varietà.
Purtroppo non ebbe allora il successo sperato e dopo soli due anni dovette chiudere per insufficienza di abbonati,
trattandosi di una rivista indipendente e pubblicata al di fuori dei Circoli Magici.
Ma il materiale incluso nei rarissimi numeri che siamo riusciti a rintracciare e raccogliere è di assoluto pregio,

Don't be misled by the title of the book; these are not routines using three decks of cards, but the title refers to the third book in this series.

Senza ReteAldo Colombini Questo è un delizioso packet-trick automatico che Aldo Colombini ha creato partendo da un trucco pubblicato da Richard Vollmer.
Effetto:
Mostrate allo spettatore una misteriosa predizione fatta prima, e due mazzetti di quattro carte ciascuno. Le carte sono le stesse in ogni mazzetto, ma il loro ordine è diverso. Da un normale mazzo di carte, lo spettatore seleziona tre carte. I valori di queste carte determinano quante devono esserne spostate dall'alto verso il basso in uno dei mazzetti. Allo spettatore è anche permesso di dividere gli spostamenti tra i due mazzetti. Supponiamo che... | ★★★★★ $7 to wish listPDF |
Without Safety NetAldo Colombini This is a lovely self-working small packet trick Aldo Colombini created from a trick published by Richard Vollmer.
Effect:
You show the spectator two face-up packs with four cards each, and a prediction - in the form of a face-down card - is placed on the table. The cards are the same in each pile, but their order is different. From a regular deck of cards, the spectator selects three cards. The values of these cards determine how many cards have to be moved from the top to the bottom in either of the piles. The spectator is even allowed to split the work between the piles.

Match PlayAldo Colombini Based on an idea by Nick Trost. You will be thrilled with the splendid effect which you achieve in such an easy manner.
You show a packet of five jumbo cards cut in half. Two spectators shuffle the cards and split the packet taking some cards each. For example, one spectator has 4 cards and one has six. You place an envelope on the table and then show the cards to each spectator in turn. They look and remember the one half-card (that corresponds to the number of cards they each had in hand). Then you ask them to remove from the packet the half-card they have seen. Incredibly they match! Not... | $4 to wish listPDF |
