Magigram: 10 effects from volume 8
by Aldo Colombini

CONTENTS:

• ROUTINE FOR FOOL'S MATE (Michael Symes): A different handling for the standard Nick Trost effect. A comedy of errors, with a strong climax.
• THE POWER OF FIVE (Arthur Carter): Here is yet another method of discovering a freely selected card. A spectator picks a number and with this in mind you find the selection.
• CARD PADDLE TRICK (Someeran): A selected card is revealed using a paddle, first you are apparently wrong where you reveal a 2S and then after a little bit of comedy by-play, you reveal the real card (which is the 4S).
• EASY OIL AND WATER (Aldo Colombini): The red and the Black cards are mixed together yet separate again. The climax comes when it is shown how they can be made to mix.
• BLANKO-ACES (John Yeager): The four Aces are removed from the deck. They suddenly become four blank cards and the Aces are discovered reversed in the middle of deck.
• THE EVER AMBITIOUS CARD (Bob Gill): A funny version of the Ambitious Card where a card jumps back and forth from top to bottom and from bottom to top and at the end, all the cards (except the ambitious one) turn out to be blank.
• AMBITIOUS UPLIFT (Bill Worsley): A nice display of manipulative sleight of hand. The AH, 2H, 3H and 4H perform several stunts throughout the deck.
• THE FANTASTIC ACE (Aldo Colombini): The four Aces are removed. A card is selected. The Ace of the same suit turns face down and then it changes to the selected card. The Ace is found face up in the deck.
• THE MISSING BROTHER (Keith Downs): A card is chosen. The mate of that card (or the SAME card) appears between two beer mats.
• PREDICTION WITH MONEY (Kellini of Norway): You have a prediction in sight. Four envelopes contain different amounts of money and a spectator FREELY selects one. The same amount is contained in the prediction! So simple, but nevertheless stunning!
