Description

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

Court Cards

Gambling Tricks

Lie Detector

Mental Discoveries

Red and Black Cards

Reversed Card Effect

Spelling Effects

Telephone Tricks

Two Selected Cards

Unique Card Effects

Sleights and Subtleties

Some 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.
