An outstanding collection of 58 effects using cards, coins, cups and cords. Compiled by Italy's prolific practical prestidigitator, these effects and routines are aimed to please any lay audience. Loaded with effects that pack a lot of punch, each requires a minimum of technical skill and practice and has been 'worked' to allow your own personality to shine through. Designed with an emphasis on entertainment, the author has reduced the patter to a minimum, stresses presentation and concentrated on the magical effect presented. There is no theoretical material here. Every effect comes right out of Aldo Colombini's repertoire of commercial and practical magic. 6 x 9, 144-page illustrated comb-bound manual.
