At Home With Aldo Colombini

I rarely, if ever, write reviews, but perhaps after 36 years of performing my opinion might mean something to someone.
I just watched this video. An interview, a song (in Italian), a magic trick ("Name It"), and some spaghetti. A great video about a great person. Gone too soon.
I never had the opportunity to meet Aldo, just some emails back and forth. I always admired and respected him and his way of performing. Everything he did was entertaining, professional, and commercial (to me this means solid and worth doing for everyone). His methods were simple but not simplistic.
If you want to know more about Aldo, if you want to hear from the man's own lips the whys and wherefores of what made him who he was, BUY THIS VIDEO!

I have rated this with five stars because it is a very good effect. However, if you own Ted Annemann's book "Practical Mental Effects" you can pass this by as it is in that book (which can also be purchased here). It can be found in the chapter Mentalism with Cards under the title "Mental Numbers" by Vincent Dalban. I have used this effect as a unique way for passing out business cards as suggested in "Practical Mental Magic" but had not thought of using it as a parlor or stage item (a nice idea).
