IMPROMPTU PACKET TRICKS by ALDO COLOMBINI
Packet Tricks are one of the most interesting branches of card magic. Using only a small number of cards magic is created that is often easy to follow, visual and very magical. On this DVD Aldo Colombini presents fifteen packet trick routines that can be performed using a borrowed deck and at a moment's notice. Along the way he also teaches packet trick concepts and the many sleight-of-hand techniques that are regularly used when dealing with small packets of cards.
Routines performed and explained
For Marlo (David Regal): A selected card is placed face-up between four deuces. Magically it disappears from between the deuces and appears face-up among the four Queens which have been in clear sight the entire time.
Oil & Queens (Roy Walton): Four red cards and four black cards are mixed and as they are expected to separated into reds and blacks the blacks have risen to the top but the four reds have now changed into the four Queens.
Shiftless Royalty (Robin Robertson): The four Queens and Kings are alternated face up and face down. Impossibly they separate themselves while revealing a previously selected card face up between them.
Masque Backwards (J. K. Hartman): A Joker takes the identity of three different cards. As a kicker ending all the cards are shown to be jokers before turning back to their original identity.
Curtain Call (Max Maven): The Ace-2-3 of Hearts do impossible things as they intermingle with the four Jacks.
The Ultimate Truth (Peter Duffie): A lie detector made out of a small packet of cards finds a selected card.
That’s Not Possible (Paul Gordon): Four Aces and four Kings are shown, mixed and split into two packets. All of a sudden one packed is seen to have the four kings while the other now has a Royal Flush in Spades.
Oil And Water (Karl Fulves): Five red and five black cards are cleanly and repeatedly alternated but continue to separate. Finally they are fairly separated but magically become intermixed.
Stringray (Aldo Colombini): Three selected cards surprisingly change places with three jacks that are sitting on the table or in a spectators hand.
Royal Rumba (Jean Pierre Vallarino): A beautiful and visual routine where Joker collection changes into a Royal Flush.
Wallaby (Hiro Sakai): Four Aces rise one at a time to the top of a four card packet. As a finale all four rise to the top at once.
French Twists (Richard Vollmer): A multi-phase routine where the four aces turn face up and face down, singly and two at a time until they are all face up. As a finale the Aces turn face up in the deck after they are lost.
Modena Aces (Aldo Colombini): Four Kings vanish one at a time as they are placed into a four-card packet. Amazingly as the discarded cards are turned over they are seen to be the four Aces.
Devil’s Elevator (Bruce Cervon & Dai Vernon): The 2-3-4-5 of hearts are placed into a four card packet but continually jump to the top. Exit (Aldo Colombini):
Four red cards are placed on the table as four black cards are used for a twisting effect. Magically the four black cards change into reds and the red cards that were placed aside are now all black.
Along with the routines you will learn important sleight-of-hand techniques such as: The Ascanio Spread, Braue Add-On, Charlier Shuffle, Criss-Cross Force, Elmsley Count, Hamman Count, Hypnotic Rumba Count, Mirage Count, Rhythm Count, Veeser Concept and more.

ITEM # DVD0673 PRICE $35.00
At any time during your show, remove a piece of gum from your mouth, place it onto an empty wrapper, gently toss it into the air...and both the wrapper and the gum impossibly WRAP THEMSELVES BACK UP into a perfect square, complete with an un-chewed block of gum inside!
Super easy! Super visual! An incredible moment of hyper visual magic! Best of all, your hands are completely empty and the wrapped piece of gum can be closely examined and even given away as the perfect souvenir! You can even perform this reputation-maker and have a spectator catch the just wrapped-up gum!
Jay originally called this astounding effect "Sugarless Gum" and first shared it with magicians in his 1985 lecture notes memorable images. Since then, the routine has found its way into the repertoires of magicians all over the world.
Whether you perform close-up, walk around or even at children's birthday parties, this quick, easy, super visual stunner (that also instantly resets) is the PERFECT effect for you! Includes all the necessary materials plus an exciting instructional DVD featuring a marvelous collection of brand new alternative handlings and variations Jay is revealing for the very first time including:
SNAP PRODUCTION
It's as easy as snapping your fingers! Magic that needs no words!
MID AIR WRAP
This is the original, jaw-dropping "tossed in the air" handling!
TABLE DROP
A great way to prove that you can perform magic without having to actually hold onto the props!
IN THEIR HANDS
What's better than the magic happening IN THE SPECTATOR'S OWN HANDS? Nothing, that's what!
APPEARING WRAPPER
Two "off the hook" effects in one. Not only does the gum morph back into its original un-chewed condition, but the wrapper also appears FROM NOWHERE!
THUMB TIP HANDLING
An extremely clever and direct handling with a lot of charms of its own! (And again, darn easy!)
JC'S HANDLING
Inspired by a switch created by J.C. Wagner, you can perform this handling in your underwear (depending upon the gig!)
THE SLYDINI WAY
Jay once asked himself the question, "How would the great Tony Slydini perform Wrap It Up?" This is the answer!
TRANSPOSITION SEQUENCE
The paper wrapper and block of gum star in a surreal series of magic moments, each more impossible than the last!
IMPOSSIBLE RESTORATION
The wrapper is torn and restored in the most visually impossible manner imaginable, complete with a SURPRISE REAPPEARANCE of the block of gum. Start your own religion today!
LO-TECH HANDLING
Perfect for real-world workers, this down-and-dirty approach leaves you surprisingly clean!
ORAL FIXATION
While chewing gum, you slowly tear the wrapper into pieces, ball them up and pop them into your mouth. A moment later the neatly wrapped block of gum appears from between your smiling lips. One of Jay's favorite sleight-of-tongue bar effects.
