Karl Fulves' legendary magazine The Chronicles was limited to 36 issues, from 1978 to 1988, during those ten years some of the finest close-up magic of the period was explained in its pages. From the magazines, with permission from Karl, Aldo has selected ten routines; just a small portion of that outstanding collection.
CONTENTS:
COIN ENTRAPPED (Mike Skinner): Two coins are on a card box. One is selected by a spectator and penetrates the cellophane.
ROYAL BACKS (Jeff Busby): Five cards with backs on both sides change into a Royal Flush in Spades.
THE SPECTRUM EFFECT (Fr. Cyprian): You select two cards, the spectator picks two cards and they match yours. They are the only black cards in an all-red packet.
COUNT ME IN (Roy Walton): A spectator picks a card (free choice) and, say, it is a Five. The same amount of cards appear between two face-up Jacks.
PRELUDE (Allen Lang): A spectator picks the matching card of your prediction and then the four Aces are revealed.
ELASTIC ILLUSION (Derek Dingle): A rubber band becomes two, then one and then two again. Everything can be examined.
PIN THRU HANK (Richard Durham): A fantastic mini-illusion. A pin is fastened to a handkerchief and a SPECTATOR can release it with no damage to the hank.
JUMP SHOT (Karl Fulves & Fr. Cyprian): A rubber band is placed around the deck, then is seen to be around half of the deck and finally around the selected card.
OPEN SELECTION (Francis Haxton): A spectator finds his own two selected cards.
BLACK OUT (Karl Fulves): One of the best versions of the Oil & Water theme.
Stevens Magic Emporium is honored to be able to represent the family of Marcelo, by offering our distinguished clients many of whom were friend with or familiar with the highest quality magic products produced at that time. One can't think of the Contento name without immediately visualizing the famed and always in demand card fountains. When it came to establishing a brand - the Contento brothers did it as good as it could be done.
What a great tribute to his memory by making his personal collection finally available to other magic enthusiasts. Each book comes with a book plate - Marcelo Contento - Ex Libris
