The spectator chooses a card that no one, not even himself, looks at; this card is set aside. The spectator now cuts the deck wherever he wishes, and three piles of cards are formed from the cut half. The top card of each pile is shown; these are any three indifferent cards. These cards should give some indication of the spectator's card... but they don't! The spectator's card is displayed, and now the random cards have transformed to form a four of a kind with the spectator's card! To buy an ordinary deck of cards click here.  

Here's an improved version of the "Perfect Choice - Benjamin Barnes, Duvivier" trick already published on this platform. A card is selected from a deck under laboratory conditions. The spectator immediately counts the cards: there are only 51 left... and it's his card that's missing, even though it was clearly visible in the deck the moment before! This card ends up among the Jokers that had been set aside at the start of the trick! And everything is handed out for examination. A real miracle! To buy an ordinary deck of cards click here.

Another visual curiosity, designed by Dominique Duvivier in 2003 based on an effect by Edward Marlo.

The piles are stacked on top of each other to reform the deck... and the four aces rise to the top! To buy: - some regular cards click here. - an ordinary deck of cards click here.  

One hell of a way to control a card, when the deck has really been shuffled with the help of the spectator before the card is chosen, and just after it's lost in the deck! To buy an ordinary deck of cards click here.

You will be able to make everyday items vanish and reappear before the very eyes of spectators.

Here you will learn how to make a coin disappear combining the Topit and a technique created by Dominique Duvivier.

Olivier Bridard shares one of his first magical emotions, which his father, an amateur magician, gave him when he was 6/7 years old. A spoon, wrapped in a napkin, turns into a knife, and reappears under the napkin! The knife is in turn wrapped in the napkin, and it disappears... to reappear under the napkin! Finally, a large bottle is produced from under the napkin! The ideal trick at the end of a meal!  

On the table, there is a globe of the world that the magician rotates. He puts his finger down on a country, England, takes out a small English flag... and produces from a silk an English penny! He repeats the process to produce this time an American half-dollar... then does the same with a Chinese coin. As a climax, he puts his finger down on France, takes out a big French flag... and produces a giant 2 euros coin!
