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.[2] When he first moved to the United States (from his native Modena, Italy) in 1993, he spoke no English.[3] He created and marketed hundreds of magic tricks,[4][5] along with numerous books and instructional videos on the topic of magic.
