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:

• INTERCHANGE: A stunning in-the-hand four-card transposition.

• 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’...

Une incroyable routine en 8 phases dans laquelle un anneau s'enclave sur un morceau de corde ordinaire puis se libère. Elle peut être présentée en close-up, en déambulation et même en magie de salon ou sur scène. Cette routine est totalement différente de la routine d'Aldo "Ringing Around Too".

[Traduction et adaptation en langue française par Patrice Bernard.]

A new great download DVD with two ring and rope routines.

RINGING AROUND TOO: This routine is comprised of five different effects with a ring and rope.

STILL RINGING: This routine is a series of eight tricks where a ring links and unlinks from an ordinary piece of rope (all different effects from “Ringing Around Too”).

The same routines are also described in an ebook of the same title: Still Ringing Around (ebook)

Here you have thirteen effects with a ring and a rope, both ordinary. Aldo does not recommend to perform all 13 in a row as it may be too long of a routine, but select the ones you like and create your own sequence.

Ring and rope effects are always popular with any audience. They take little room in your pocket or performing table and are always ready to go. Both routines are also available as a download DVD of the same name: Still Ringing Around (download DVD)

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.
