In questo raro manoscritto di Aldo, trovi una divertente routine con il solo uso di un mazzo di carte e un metro da falegname. Dopo aver fatto scegliere una carta, tu, il performer, esegui una serie di figure con un metro mentre racconti una esilarante storia. Infine, sempre servendoti del metro, ritrovi con successo la carta scelta. Molto originale, sempre pronto e facilissimo da eseguire: intrattenimento allo stato puro.

The ultimate assembly!

Four Kings are placed on the table and three cards are placed onto them. The first King vanishes and now you have two Kings in the second packet. They vanish and you now have three Kings on the third packet. They vanish and in the fourth packet you have….the four Aces! The Kings are found on top of four other packets!

Ancora una volta il nostro beneamato Aldo ci sorprende con la sua versione routinata di un classico in tre fasi.

L'effetto della routine spiegata con la consueta chiarezza da Aldo è il seguente:

PRIMA FASE: ADUNATA ISTANTANEA

Quattro Jolly sono messi sul tavolo in una formazione a T e tre carte sono poste su ciascun Jolly. Un mazzetto è designato come 'leader' e i quattro Jolly appaiono tutti in quel mazzetto.

SECONDA FASE: ADUNATA

Lo stesso effetto viene ripetuto una seconda volta dopo che il mago mostra i Jolly uno dopo l'altro prima di metterli nei rispettivi mazzetti. ...

Finalmente di nuovo disponibile la routine sul tema Matrix di Aldo Colombini !!! Come al solito semplicità di esecuzione e grande effetto costituiscono le basi per questa routine. Con 4 carte 4 monete puoi eseguire questa splendida routine.

Ecco come Aldo Colombini stesso introduce la routine

"Questa routine invita alla riflessione. Sono un amante del MATRIX in quanto lo ritengo semplice da seguire da parte del pubblico. L'effetto risulta quanto mai logico come concetto: quattro monete sono coperte da quattro carte, tre monete spariscono e riappaiono sotto ad una carta e infine le monete...

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...

Here’s another ebook from Aldo containing 21 routines using sponge balls, coins, newspaper, cards, jumbo cards, balls, ropes, rubber bands and more. Aldo has been using some of these routines during his acts for quite some years; “Jumbo Jumble” for example, is still one of his favorite effects, so is “Real Danger” which he uses a lot. For close-up workers, do not overlook “Heart 2 Heart,” “Nose Out” and “Another’s Bet.”

You also have a couple of very strong routines here for children’s entertainers, namely “Kaleidoscope Ropes” and “Knot Knots.”
