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 phase of the routine builds on the last, leading to a powerful finish where the impossible becomes reality.
Excerpt from the introduction:
This is one of my favourite routines. Relatively easy to perform, it has a tremendous effect on lay audiences, and, from personal experience, I can say it baffles even fellow magicians. The theme presented (sandwich), where selected cards mysteriously appear among others (hence the 'sandwich'), is captivating and enchanting. Since the four Kings play a significant role in the routine, I've given it the imaginative title of CHECKMATE.
Perfect for magicians looking to elevate their card magic repertoire, Checkmate is accessible enough for those familiar with basic sleights yet deep enough to fascinate more experienced performers.
