Magic & Mentalism: page 146

Aldo torna a stupirci con un numero completo composto di 5 effetti della categoria "impossibili", tutti effettuati con un mazzo di carte preso a prestito e senza preparazione.

I giochi hanno la caratteristica di essere di semplicissima esecuzione per cui puoi concentrarti sula presentazione.

Non rimarrai più senza sapere cosa fare quando qualcuno ti chiede " Dai, facci un gioco !" Eccoti un assaggio dell'introduzione con le stesse parole di Aldo:

"La routine è composta da cinque effetti che possono essere presentati uno di seguito all'altro come ti consiglio oppure separatamente durante...

"NEMMENO UNA VOLTA IN TUTTA LA VITA !"

Dopo la rivoluzionaria creazione da parte di Paul Curry di "Out of this world", egli stesso ne creò una versione sotto certi aspetti ancora più straordinaria dal titolo "never in a liftime" . Questa incredibile versione è quella che vi offriamo in questo ebook.

Vi sembrerà un po' lungo ma per apprezzare lo straordinario effetto che offrirete a vostri spettatori, è necessario descrivere nei dettagli l'

EFFETTO: L'artista propone un dimostrazione di controllo psichico tesa a provare, strettamente in forma di test, che esiste una misteriosa...

Ecco un altra opera del grande "maestro" Annemann. Materiale di sicuro impatto e successo che spazia in diversi campi: cartomagia, close up e mentalismo. Note e bei disegni del traduttore rendono molto più chiara la spiegazione.

Ecco alcuni degli effetti contenuti nel lavoro:

TRASPOSIZIONE ISTANTANEA

Effetto. Sventagliando un mazzo di carte ben mischiato, il performer chiede ad uno spettatore di selezionare una carta e scrive le proprie iniziali sulla faccia della carta stessa. La carta selezionata è apertamente posta nella tasca dello spettatore. MAI FUORI DALLA VISTA. Essa non...

Ever since Obie O'Brien brought Aldo Colombini to the FFFF convention many years ago, it has been a love affair between Aldo and magic in America. While Aldo can do some of the hardest moves, he has developed a unique style of strong magic with little sleight-of-hand. The kind that is entertaining to watch and fun to perform. None of the material is hard to do, yet will fool any audience, including those hard to please magicians themselves.

It is hard to miss Aldo, both in person (6' 5"), and in magic, because he has written for many magazines, performed and lectured throughout the world...

Learn Magic is a classic magic book for serious beginners. It teaches 20 lessons and focuses not just on effects, tricks and moves, but also on the 'how to learn magic' aspect. Beautifully illustrated by Hans Jelinek.

Henry Hay's larger magic book for beginners, The Amateur Magician's Handbook is broader in scope and already assumes some basic knowledge about magic.

Il classico gioco delle quattro monete che si riuniscono sotto ad una carta, è qui presentato con CARTE DA GIOCO che si ritrovano sotto ad una carta gigante. Le manipolazioni sono relativamente semplici, dovrebbero gia appartenere al repertorio di ogni mago. In un programma di micro-magia, questo potrebbe essere il solo gioco di carte da presentare.

Effetto: l'A, il 2, il 3 e il 4 di Quadri sono posti sul tappeto, a quadrato, le carte sono coperte da due carte giganti. Una dopo l'altra le quattro carte si riuniscono sotto ad una carta -gigante. L'artista presenta lo stesso effetto usando...

"Paul Lelekis teaches seven card tricks in his "My Favorites" ebook. At only ten dollars, it may be the best bargain around!" - Wayne Kawamoto

Long-time professional magician, Paul A. Lelekis, has finally released his pet, "go-to" routines that he has used in actual performance hundreds...even thousands of times over the years in many shows and table-hopping in restaurants for decades!

All of these routines are true "real-world workers" that will smack your spectators' right between the eyes. The day before Paul finished writing this e-book, he performed at a large corporate function...

This movie was taken by Ake Hallberg from Sweden. Location is Hyde Park in London during the 1980s. The 8mm film was sent via Ulf Morling to Martin Breese who released it on DVD. You will see two performances of Fred's fantastic Ambitious Card routine together with numerous sleights and color changes. You will also see his incredible Vanish of Coin in tie.

This film is really short but a gem for all who have never seen Fred Robinson perform life. For more on Fred's magic see The Magic of Fred Robinson by Peter Duffie.

Stage card magic routines are relatively rare. In this ebook, however, you will find a complete stage card magic act with a lot of surprises and fun. The performer talks about a trip around the world. Six cards are chosen by six members of the audience. The performer then demonstrates how the cards would be found in several countries: China, USA, France, Russia and India.

A great routine packed with mystery, surprise and a lot of fun. Can be worked with the help of an assistant or solo.

The Great Card Magic of Nick Trost continues! All the routines are performed with a regular deck of cards.

CONTENTS:

• THE OBSERVATION TEST: A very effective trick that makes a great opener. An observation test where the back of the entire deck changes color. [Note that Trost published another trick by the same title. See Cardman’s Packet.

• AFFINITY CARDS: Two cards disappear from their original positions and reappear...

Here are two effects that use easy-to-make gimmicks which can be added to your regular deck.

FLASHPOINT is a sensational card routine with a topological flavor. Two cards, an Ace and a King, magically change places. The performer offers to repeat the effect under more stringent conditions. The King is placed on the table and covered with the performer's wallet. The Ace is placed between two blank cards. The Ace is visible through two holes cut in the middle of the blank cards yet, at the performer's command, it instantly and visibly disappears. When the wallet is lifted from the table the...

In 2009, Raphael was working on a two-deck ACAAN (that became the bonus routine of this ebook) when the italian magician Tommaso Guglielmi shared his new creation with me... that was based on the exact same method! He spontaneously gave me the permission to release the basic routine with my name on it and now, more than three years later, I can publicly say that Tommaso is a real class act! Just below is the basic original routine that the both of us devised independently. Ordinary decks. No sleights. Different outcomes at each performance. It is inspired by Cameron Francis' Convergence.
