Taking Chances: ten routines
by Aldo Colombini

Ten routines, with cards and other objects.

Contents:

• ELEVATION 39 (Aldo Colombini): An 'elevator' routine with a surprising double climax.
• FUTURE SHOCK (Roy Walton): A card is selected and found by your two predictions, which eventually find their mates.
• AVENUE (Hiro Sakai): A spectacular way to produce the four Aces.
• NUMISMATRICK (Al Thatcher): Several coins are placed on the table and shuffled by a spectator while you are facing away. One coin is covered and you can tell if it is a head or tail.
• ITALIAN POKER (Aldo Colombini): You show a strange poker game, a sort of magician vs gambler which ends up with a series of surprises and colorful productions.
• COINS WITHOUT CARDS (Howard Adams): A smart prediction using just coins (even borrowed).
• UNDERGROUND SPIES (Aldo Colombini): Based on the "Whisperer" theme, here's a routine with several climaxes.
• FOUR-ACE PUZZLER (Paul Gordon): The four Aces are cut one by one into the deck and they reappear together on top (or reversed in the middle).
• CAPS REUNION (Aldo Colombini): Based on the classic theme of the Matrix; four beer bottle caps assemble together under your hands.
• SUPER LINK (Aldo Colombini): Two rubber bands link and then unlink in the hand of the spectator.
