90 amazing card tricks by some of the most recognized magicians (including three past FISM winners), with stringent conditions: no set-ups and no sleights. organized into the following sections:

• Selected Cards
• Aces and Gambling
• Mental Discoveries
• Spelling Effects
• Amazing Coincidences
• Lie Detectors

This is Aldo's second volume of impromptu card tricks. Once again the rules that he required were simple: That the tricks be based on subtle moves and principles only rather than difficult sleights. Most importantly, the tricks had to be totally impromptu with no set-ups. Eventually he did, however, allow a few easy moves such as a card control, a force or a simple sleight; moves that still are very easy to master and perform.

Tricks are organized into the following categories. The last one is a section on simple sleights and procedures:

• The Four Aces
• Amazing Coincidences
• Baffling Revelations ...

Only one routine but what an effect - and completely self working! This must be one of the strongest self-working effects there is. Based on the Eddie Joseph principle “Staggered” you have here a unique, fantastic routine in five phases, one stronger than the other where the cards match even though...

16 commercial routines using cards, balls, money, books and other props.

• Card Control: A card chosen by a spectator matches a card previously placed face down on the table by the magician.
• Blank-Mazement: Following the numbers of two dice, a spectator finds the only two printed cards in a packet of all blank cards.
• Hats and Rabbits: You place a prediction on the table. While your head is facing away, a spectator places five cards with hats and a rabbit in any order, holding the packet of cards in his hand. You give the spectator some instructions, and at the end the cards are apparently...

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.)

Routines performed with a regular deck of cards.

CONTENTS AND CONTRIBUTORS:

• FEELING THE SPOTS (Howard Albright & Ken de Courcy): You reveal a freely selected card from a shuffled deck placed in your pocket.
• TRAMEZZINO (Aldo Colombini): A card is lost in the deck and four Aces are removed. The Ace of the same suit as the selection turns face down. The Ace is now face up in the deck and the face-down card in the Ace packet is the actual selected card.
• THE ULTIMATE GAME (Karl Fulves & Roy Walton): Amazing predictions with all the cards under the spectator's control.
• COMPELLING (Aldo Colombini): A lot of magic...

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’...

An act in itself. Seven cards are selected. One card is signed by a spectator and then all seven cards are lost in the deck. Eventually, one by one, they are found by the performer. The signed card continuously reappears and then finally, it is found inside your wallet. It also contains a multiple control of cards called Colombini's B.S. Control.

Excerpt from the introduction:
