I saw Aldo Colombini do some fine packet tricks Monday night. My favorite was Peter Duffie's "Ghost Flight".
You show 8 cards blank on both sides and four Queens. You also place a folded napkin on the table. The spectator or you place each Queen between 2 blanks and in a series of beautiful easy moves, each Queen becomes blank in each side and you end up with all blanks. The kicker comes when you lift the napkin and the four Queens are under it. This is the kind of routine that is a pleasure to perform and a pleasure to watch. The moves are easy, but they look very magical. Aldo sells a DVD, "Packet Trick Picks" for $10 (no kidding) that has this one plus nine more excellent packet tricks....or he also sells the packet of cards with instructions for $10! I got both. Aldo and Rachel have a wonderful new policy....everything is only $10, even remakes of his older DVDs that used to cost $30 or more. The productions are fine and the magic is even finer. What a wonderful foil to the increasingly expensive magic rip-off industry! http://www.wildcolombini.com/ usual disclaimers (these are so good I am tempted to keep them to myself!)

Glenn- I also purchased this DVD, and was amazed by the value. Ghost Flight was also my favorite effect on the DVD. Some other terrific effects, including Prediction Gone Wild. If you have some standard gaff cards, you should be able to assemble the cards needed for the effects. I'm wondering if this will have any impact on pricing of DVDs.

I just received a notice that Aldo and Rachel will be at Hocus Pocus in May. They are 2 hours North of me but I do a lot of business up there so I can combine the trip. Either way, I will be there barring any unforseens!

Is Ghost Flight in any of Peter Duffies E-Books?

Probably not, because it used to be marketed by Peter, I remember stocking it and selling it years ago, if Aldo uses it on the DVD, Peter probably sold the rights of the effect to him.
The new DVD's Aldo is putting out and the pricing has been discused on the Café, previously. They are great value. Ghost Flight was mentioned in my book "Small But Deadly" in the Peter Duffie section The book is a source for finding many excellent packet effects. Paul. |
