In this set of notes you will find several tricks and routines that have served Aldo well during the last few years as a stand-up performer. In fact, the tricks explained here can all be done standing up as no table is required and are great for walk around or strolling magic. Done this way you simply use the hands of the spectators to help you.

Aldo has written these tricks and routines with the assumption that you already know some basic magic such as a card control, a Double Undercut, an Elmsley Count and the like. Aldo's purpose here is not to teach you ‘sleights’ but rather ‘routines’...

This is a bonanza of magic - and begins with an intro of performance tips which contains tips, hints, suggestions, notes, and secrets of performance - very important! Included are two videos of performances and explanations. Magic with coins, ESP, cards, silks, bottles, topological problems, and most of these effects are impromptu.

22 monster effects are included with an introduction explaining how a real professional takes control and makes his or her spectators, in awe. Included is a section of "Quickies", or quick tricks that appear to be "off-the-cuff", yet, will dazzle your spectators. ...

2) Comedy Card 'Mis-call' - The...

With a bonus effect called "The really smart phone" the performer shows that his phone has a successful card-finder app.

Because of the method used in the Gerats Principle it is to be expected that memdeck workers will have the most benefit from the principle and they will probably be the first to find other applications for the principle.

For those among you who noticed that the basic effect...

This ebook includes magic with cards, packet tricks, sponge balls, money, coins, string, thumb tips and mentalism.

This is the gambling demonstration that Cristóbal uses in his show "Cartas Bajo Control" ("Cards Under Control"). About ten minutes long, it's an entire act with four phases, showing almost impossible skills, like card location while shuffling, estimation, card control, and the legendary center deal. You can deal the four aces without spectators being able to see how it is done, even when they know what you are going to do.

It is not necessary for you to know how to do a center deal, though in some parts of this routine you'll need to know some techniques. References and links are included,...

2) OPENING MATRIX ROUTINE - This is as much fun to perform as it is for the spectators. A terrific series of effects.

3) UNDER OUR CONTROL - The performer picks two cards...and then the spectator does too...only her two cards are the same value that the performer picked - a 4 of a kind! No fishing, no leading, no clue.

4) PSYCHOTIC DALEY - This is an easy to do effect that will have your spectators' heads spinning. A new ploy...

1. ... "oil cards" vanish. You are left with only 8 red or water cards. Jon Racherbaumer loves this effect.

2. One Cup – This is a hilarious routine, fashioned after a Senator Clark Crandall effect and his "blazing" wit. This trick will keep the spectators laughing with TWO amazing kickers!

3. Name Any Card – This very clever effect is based on Jim Steinmeyer's ingenious principle. This effect is self-working and even the performer won't know how it works. The spectator completely controls the outcome and yet he finds his own selection every time.

The deck is shuffled. Spectator cuts off a small packet and sets it aside. The performer selects one card from the remaining cards. It turns out that this is the mate card to the card on the bottom of the spectator cut packet. The same procedure is repeated and again the performer is able to pick the mate card. In ever more impossible ways the spectator selects cards which turn out to be located next to their mates.

This routine was first published in Faro Control Miracles. It uses the stay stack principle.
