Aldo Colombini (19 March 1951 – 12 February 2014)[1] was an Italian-born magician, lecturer, author and media producer. At the time of his death he was married to Rachel Colombini (previously known as Rachel Wild, Rachel Fenton and Rachel Jones), also a magician. Rachel died circa 2018, after rumors of her death circulated on the internet in 2017. When he first moved to the United States (from his native Modena, Italy) in 1993, he spoke no English.[2] He created and marketed hundreds of magic tricks,[3][4] along with numerous books and instructional videos on the topic of magic. He wrote a long-running column for The Linking Ring magazine, entitled, "As Always, Aldo".[5][6]
