This is the second half of the live lecture performed by Aldo and Rachel Colombini in 2011 on their Farewell Tour. It is one of the last filmed lectures of Aldo and is a great tribute to his artistry and memory and a wonderful keepsake.

Here you can go to Part 1. And here you can get the lecture notes covering Part 1 and 2.

A very easy, commercial and entertaining color changing knife routine in several phases. With ideas by Ken Brooke, Ascanio and Juan Tamariz. For close-up and walk around. A white knife (or any color) changes to black. You simply say that you are using TWO knives so you produce a white one. The two knives change places a few times and at the end everything can be examined (obviously you have to bring your own knives)!

A teach-in video for card magicians who are searching for reputation-building commercial tricks that are fast, visual, and mind-blowing for a lay audience, yet will also blow away fellow magicians. Full performance video followed by a detailed explanation of every trick. 8 tricks in total of which 5 can be performed with a borrowed deck.

ALL BACKS: Ideally performed with a borrowed bicycle 'seconds' deck, but any deck can be used. All cards change to double backs, except for the chosen card.

OUT OF THIS WORLD - OUTDONE! The ultimate impromptu version of this classic using a borrowed deck,...

This is a classic Colombini trick - very strong effect, very easy to do. It has served Aldo very well for the past decades and was often a feature item in his lectures and performances.

A three-effect routine with a “killer” ending. The deck is shuffled and cut. You place a card face up in the middle. A spectator FREELY selects a card. You shuffle the deck again and then you cut the deck into two. Dealing the cards at the same time from both piles, the spectator’s card appears at the same time as yours. You then turn over the top card of each packet to produce the four Aces and finally...

This is an unusual trick and one that creates mystery and surprise. It can also be customized according to the venues and type of shows. You show four double-blank cards. You place a colored sticker on one card and the sticker appears on every card. Then, three stickers disappear from the cards and all the stickers are on one card!

You will need four double blank cards (blank on both sides) and some stickers.

The effect was created by Peter Duffie. An effect which must give the impression that you are a fantastic card expert. Two cards are placed face up on the table. You now show four misprinted cards that have backs on both sides - except for one, which has a back and a blank face. You now add the first card to the packet and suddenly all the cards print with faces of the selection! You repeat this with the second card to cause all the cards to print to duplicates of this card! Finally you pick up the card with the blank face. "This," you state, "is an eraser!" You now prove this to be so because, suddenly,...
