DescriptionThis 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 AcesAmazing CoincidencesBaffling RevelationsCourt CardsGambling TricksLie DetectorMental DiscoveriesRed and Black CardsReversed Card EffectSpelling EffectsTelephone TricksTwo Selected CardsUnique Card EffectsSleights and SubtletiesSome routines have seen print before; many items, however, are new and have not been publishedpreviously.Tony Dunn prepared the incredible illustrations, Richard Vollmer wrote the introduction, and John Lovick edited the ebook.1st edition 2005; 102 pages.Table of ContentsIntroductionPrefaceThe Four AcesFlipping Aces: Aldo ColombiniCut-ting the Aces: Aldo ColombiniDivin-ace-tion: Max MavenThe Return: Stephen TuckerPalatino: Aldo ColombiniAmazing CoincidencesDown and Under: Roy WaltonStrange Companions: Robin RobertsonDouble Discover: Roy WaltonYou Think You Do What I Do: Aldo ColombiniChild’s Play: Karl FulvesPerfect Match: Bob KingReverse Procedure: Aldo ColombiniGross Dividends: Peter Duffie & Robin RobertsonBridges: Aldo ColombiniBaffling RevelationsElementary, My Dear Watson: Peter MarucciSearch the Seven Suspects: Gary PlantsPsi-Caustic: Ryan MatneyA Brainstorm in Glasgow: Peter DuffieNice and Easy Does It: Paul GordonSleepers: George McBrideQuestion Mark: Marty KaneSpin Out: Mark LeveridgeAustralian Count Down: Reinhard MüllerThis is the Card: Rannie RaymundoROM: Max MavenFast Finding: Andre RobertEquivoque: Gary OuelletCourt CardsCourt Spell: Jack AvisMatched Picture Cards: Nick TrostLove at First Fright: Aldo ColombiniWedluck: Peter DuffieCourting: Aldo ColombiniLove and Marriage: Howard AdamsCoinci-Face: Aldo ColombiniGambling TricksBackfire Poker: Peter DuffieTested Ten-Card Poker Deal: Aldo ColombiniDazzler Mark one Million: Paul GordonLie DetectorTo Lie or Tell the Truth: Jack AvisComplex Simplex Lie Detector: Marty KaneComputerized Lie Detector: Gary PlantsCard Lie Speller: Marty KaneJ.E.D.
