A Nick Trost routine performed by Aldo Colombini. A beautiful, unique routine. A spectator shuffles the deck. Several cards are dealt face up on the table. The performer says that he will attempt to match the face-up cards color for color by dealing face-down cards onto each. He then turns over the pairs and every pair matches – color for color. A spectator tries to match some cards but he fails to match more than just a few. Finally, you correctly name the color of all the cards in the packet before you turn them over.
