Description

Ever since Obie O’Brien brought Aldo Colombini to the FFFF convention many years ago, it has been a love affair between Aldo and magic in America. While Aldo can do some of the hardest moves, he has developed a unique style of strong magic with little sleight-of-hand. The kind that is entertaining to watch and fun to perform. None of the material is hard to do, yet will fool any audience, including those hard to please magicians themselves.

It is hard to miss Aldo, both in person (6′ 5″), and in magic, because he has written for many magazines, performed and lectured throughout the world for decades, and has produced a staggering amount of magic teaching material. What you will find here are some of his best routines. They are technically perhaps a bit more challenging than his more recent releases, but they are not difficult routines either.

This ebook is beautifully illustrated by Tom Jorgenson. The 60 routines and tricks taught are:
