Hey everyone,
The recent post about the Lyrbary.com opened my eyes to all the material Aldo has released using shuffled decks in us and etc. Is there any booklet(s) or DVDs of his that seem to be exceptional in this area or even in the self working stuff he has released? Thanks so much, Six |

I like ALL of Aldo's material. You can go to http://www.wildcolombini.com to see extensive descriptions of all his products. You can also email him and he will answer any specific questions you have. He is a very gracious man.

I hear he is. I more interested in a performers stand point, as opposed to his. He sells it so he must have thought it was good lol
Is there anything that stands out, maybe the trost series? Anything else he may have put out that fits my ideals above? |

SIX, I have all the Trost DVDs. "I like ALL of Aldo's material"---that's MY opinion.
The using shuffled deck material is interspersed throughout the other effects on Aldo's various DVDs. That's why I gave you the link to his Website and told you the detailed descriptions are there. It seems to me you did NOT go to Aldo's Website and READ what is there. I apologize if I wasn't PLAIN enough in my first response. I feel like this post is just reiterating what I previously said. Done here.

Hey,
My apologies, when most people say I like "everything" its just a half a**ed response. You clearly do like everything, which is good to hear. I went to the site, but reading everything would be like reading a book, and then desiphering which is FASDIU and etc. I appreciate your honest response though  Thanks so much.
I will start will ten DVDs or so. Thanks! Six |

Thanks, Six. Didn't mean to have an attitude with you. IMO, you'll just have a great time with Aldo's, and Rachel's, DVDs. And Aldo will graciously answer your emails regarding specific questions. Ciao!

Hi Six,
A great deal of Aldo's magic is FASDIU - and like everyone who has posted here, I am a huge Aldo and Rachel fan. An e-book you might want to check out that is completely FASDIU is called Killer Koncepts. The book is based upon a count that Steve Beam published in his SACT series. The effects possible with this beautiful sleight are amazing and Signore Colombini offers quite a variety of workers. I have so much of Aldo's stuff and I want ALL of it! As Atom has already stated, Aldo will answer any questions you have, and really, you SHOULD contact him! Both he and Rachel are a BLAST to talk to - they are simply classy, lovely people. And yes, Rachel is a helluva magician too.
Namaste, Vlad |

I'll add my 2 cents here. The Trost series is great, you'll get a mixed bag with each dvd. A lot of his packet trick dvds are full of good material. I find gems in every one of them.
Pre Deck Ability is one of my favorites for a great card routine and gets great reactions. The books Impromptu Card Magic and Simply Imprompt2 are packed with all sorts of card tricks. The amount of material in each makes them real bargains. Not every one will be a winner for you, but there will be plenty for regardless. If you like using dice in your card magic, To Die For and Snake Eyes have plenty of material to go on. All in all, Aldo and Rachels dvds and e-books are real bargains. Buy direct from them, and then you get notices of sales and new releases too. |

For all, Aldo has recently released two volumes on Oil & Water routines; requested by many for a long time. Twenty routines on these two volumes. Well worth getting.

Fantastic! I picked up a couple items, they were ok, a couple of gems amongst the many effects. They all do spark something in some way which is great.
Thank you all! I will look into that oil and water as well and Cardsdotcom. Best, Six |

I really enjoyed Anytime, Anyplace, Anywhere. I especially liked Aldo's take on the Dunbury Delusion in that book.

I am still patiently waiting for someone to print (with Aldo's permission of course) his Leprechaun/rainbow coloured back and pot of gold/green backed cards.I wish that I could remember the name of the effect.(?) I have been looking for it for quite a while now as it has not been in print for many years.If I remember rightly the effect itself was a variation on the 'Queens out of control' type effect. However it was the quality of the cards themselves and the quirky presentation that lifted the effect up above the others.I can imagine that if the cards/effect were to be released again (created from a scan of the original cards.)that they would surely sell like hot cakes.Therefore my feeling is that Aldo is understandably choosing not to release this popular effect again as it is a 'pet' effect of his. This is his right to do so. In which case his gain is our loss.

'Shenanigans' is the name of the effect.

Now that is weird! It seems that it HAS been released!!! With a new presentational patter by Trevor Lewis. Unfortunately the only supplier I can locate seems to be 'The Magic depot' which is in the U.S rather than where I live in the U.K. Does anyone know if Aldo has a supplier in the U.K? The effect itself does not appear to be currently in stock and the expectation is that you reserve it up in front awaiting the new supply.
