Aldo Colombini - Pirouette

Aldo Colombini - The Battle

Columnist: Aldo Colombili You won’t be surprised if I tell you that I’m very fond of the Elmsley Count. So far you have discovered that I use the count a lot. If only Alex had a penny for every trick that uses his count he would be a millionaire! The following routine makes use of this count and has several surprises.
