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...

A closing routine with multiple climaxes. You produce the four Aces and place three of them in an envelope leaving out the Ace of Spades. Then you produce ten Spade cards in order. You then try to produce the Jack of Spades, Queen of Spades and King of Spades but the three Aces appear and the three face cards are found in the envelope. Then, all the Diamond cards appear in order, then the Club cards and the Heart cards. Amazing finale. Uses a regular deck of cards.

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)

An elegant presentation for a classic! A three ring routine (from a standard set of Linking Rings) using new moves and some old ones, including moves with the rings and a piece of rope that you will love. Aldo perform this with music, but any kind of presentation can be applied. This routine has been Aldo's choice for an encore performance for many years.

A great piece of entertainment. Almost an act in itself. Ten cards are freely selected. You reveal them one at a time with different methods and sleights (uses any deck of cards). The routine is performed entirely in your hands. No table required. With a Multiple Card Control that will blow your head off.

Bonus effect included: BAND-IT (a rubber band wrapped around the deck disappears and then reappears in the middle of the deck encircling the selected card.)
