Simply Impromp2 by Aldo Colombini
This is Aldo's second volume of impromptu card tricks. Once again the rules that he required were simple: That the tricks be based on subtle moves and principles only rather than difficult sleights. Most importantly, the tricks had to be totally impromptu with no set-ups. Eventually he did, however, allow a few easy moves such as a card control, a force or a simple sleight; moves that still are very easy to master and perform.
Tricks are organized into the following categories. The last one is a section on simple sleights and procedures:
The Four Aces
Amazing Coincidences
Baffling Revelations
Court Cards
Gambling Tricks
Lie Detector
Mental Discoveries
Red and Black Cards
Reversed Card Effect
Spelling Effects
Telephone Tricks
Two Selected Cards
Unique Card Effects
Sleights and Subtleties
Some routines have seen print before; many items, however, are new and have not been published previously.
Tony Dunn prepared the incredible illustrations, Richard Vollmer wrote the introduction, and John Lovick edited the ebook.
