Simply Impromptu 5 by Aldo Colombini

The routines use subtle moves and principles rather than difficult sleight of hand to produce entertaining card effects that anyone can do. More important, no gimmicks, and no set-ups whatsoever. Grab an ordinary, even borrowed deck of cards and amaze your spectators with incredible card effects.

CONTENTS:

• FAST FINDING (Andre Robert): A spectator cuts half of the deck and finds a card, which in turn finds a previously selected card.
• COINCI-FACE (Aldo Colombini): From a shuffled packet a spectator selects two cards. After a special shuffle (?) two cards appear reversed in the middle: The mates of the two selections and then all the other cards match.
• ANTI-GRAVITY THOT (Peter Duffie): The magician uses two Jacks which catch a card that equals to a number being thought-of by a spectator.
• SIMPLY FOUR (Howard Adams): A prediction effect using a packet of ten cards.
• PREDICTIONAL (Al Smith): A spectator cuts a packet of cards at random and eliminates all but one, using a face-up card. This card matches the face-up one.
• GUATEMALA (Aldo Colombini): Two selected cards placed between the Jacks, disappear and reappear face up in the middle of the deck.
• LONG DISTANCE SURPRISE (Werner Miller): A trick that can be done over the phone.
• SPEED DATING (Paul Gordon): A unique routine where you and a spectator find three pairs of cards.
• FALSE SANDWICH (Aldo Colombini): Two indifferent cards capture a previously selected card.
• FAMILIES (Werner Miller): A neat effect using the face cards (Jacks, Queens and Kings)!
