Straight from the professional repertoire of the Spanish Grand Prix of Magic 2023, we present CROMO. CROMO is Gonzalo Albiñana’s personal solution to color-changing handkerchiefs and half-dyed plots—a wildly versatile and transformative tool for silk magic in general. A never-before-explored method that adapts and changes to fit your needs, your silks, and your ideas—it blends seamlessly with your magic to help you perform and create. The difficult sleights and handlings that were previously necessary are no longer required thanks to the advantages and surprising design of CROMO. Any type and size of silk, for any type and size of performer… All the techniques and subtleties from the past, plus ingenious new ones that make your routine as easy and “realistic” as it can get… It’s as if you’re making the silks truly change, as if there’s no gimmick at all, as if it’s invisible… Just like a chameleon.

You can perform it up close, in parlor or stage settings. It’s a hit in children’s and comedy magic, but you can use it for any kind of presentation.

Everything is included and ready to go, with a personal and detailed study on the history and origins of color-change effects throughout magic literature, handling ideas and presentations, the gimmick, accessories, and even bonus ideas for other effects and new gimmicks. Use any arrangement or set of silks, any size of silk—from 12 inches (30 cm) to diamond-cut silks, even 40 inches (90 cm)—as well as streamers, blendos, flags, or strings of flags…

Gimmicks and ideas explained, from the past and present. Basic routines, more combinations of silk routines, half-dyed routines and plots, comedy and kids’ routines, abstract and absurd examples, different and new ideas for silk magic, sponge magic, rope magic… whatever you can think of… (we want to create a sharing community to further exchange them…)

• Perform anywhere, no conditions.
• Use the silks for other effects.
