Una fantastica routine con oltre 20 effetti !

Come dice Aldo nell' l'introduzione di questa pubblicazione "Questa routine è una di quelle che il pubblico ricorda. Credo di poter dire che ti offro un gioco stupendo che ho usato con successo centinaia di volte in ogni parte del mondo (Giappone, Sud America, Stati Uniti, etc., e in posti come il Magic Castie di Hollywood e il Magical Empire di Las Vegas). Alcuni di questi passaggi sono presi dalla mia precedente routine chiamata “Mamma Mia Rope Routine” e venduta in video con il libro di istruzioni. Altri passaggi sono tolti da un’...

Ciao, ecco uno dei libri più venduti di Aldo Colombini. Tutto il materiale è buonissimo e gli effetti eccellenti! Come dice Davide Costi nell'introduzione: "Raramente mi è capitata fra le mani una pubblicazione con una percentuale così alta di idee ed effetti di primissima qualità e, conoscendo il livello tecnico/artistico dell'autore, non è stata certo una sorpresa; tuttavia la sorpresa vera è stata nel constatare che, malgrado le centinaia di effetti che Aldo ha pubblicato in questi anni, la sua fervida creatività continua a regalarci giochi di un così alto livello.

Vorrei soffermarmi,...

Or... You and a helper shuffle and cut the four Kings into the deck and then, between you, find them again!

Passes: An off-beat ESP card revelation that unfolds with your back turned.

Please: A self-working control of a selected card whilst your back is turned.

Mathemagic: Armed with a dice, four cards bearing the mathematical symbols 'add', 'subtract', 'divide' and 'multiply' and a deck of cards... a spectator finds her own freely selected card.

Demi Sec: Two freely selected cards are lost in the deck. The spectator selects a King and waves it over the cards. When spread......

CONTENTS:

• ROPE, HANDKERCHIEF AND RING MYSTERY (Ken de Courcy): A handkerchief is draped over the center of a piece of rope which is tied over the handkerchief. The whole thing is given to a spectator to hold. A ring is vanished and it appears knotted on the center of the rope.
• AN E.V.T.V. PREDICTION (Arthur Carter): A method to predict basically anything you want: Names, places, cards, etc. The principle can be used for many other routines.
• DICE CHOICE (W. Rory Coker): Two ESP cards are removed as predictions and two are selected by a spectator. These symbols match your predictions.
• WHIRL (Aldo Colombini):...

• ... Key' effect, but in your spectator's hands! The key eerily turns over with no threads attached.
• Falling Coins: Influence the toss of three spectators' coins from their own pocket. You never touch a thing, yet you can prove that you have influence over the fall. Reminiscent of the classic 'Falling Dice' test for psychokinetic ability. This amazing method can also be applied to many other applications, a few of which are discussed.
• Sight Three: A variation of Dee's original "Sight" effect. A notebook is passed around the audience and everyone is asked to write a horror movie of their choice...
