Among all the traditions of the Double Fond, there is one that is very important to us: the shows in which the entire troupe participates. You will discover here the beginning of the show " Ouketi Ouketi " created in 2015, entirely written on the theme of the three-card monte and in which, therefore, the whole team participated: you will see here Alexandra and Dominique Duvivier, Quoc Tien Tran, Adeline Galland, Sophie Nguyen, Jean-Pierre Crispon, Philippe de Perthuis and Cédric Reimon.  

A very rare archive: you will discover a magnificent coin act with music by Dominique Duvivier! Years later, customers still tell us about it!  

You are about to discover a tradition of the Double Fond: for many years, all our "event" shows were followed by an informal discussion with the artists. After the curtain fell, the artists would return to the stage to share a simple moment of exchange with the audience. It was a much appreciated moment, which gave everyone the opportunity to ask questions, to glean some professional advice, to learn more about any subject... That's also the magic of the Double Fond! In this case, this discussion took place in 2004 after the show "Intimiste 1" with Dominique Duvivier. After the show, Alexandra had joined her father for this moment of exchange with the audience. Unfortunately the quality of the sound is not good, but the subjects discussed are fascinating. Enjoy the show!  

Some theoretical reflections on the magician's position. Why and how we should think about what we are doing, far beyond pure technique?  

Howard Hamburg is a magical legend. Known to be particularly secretive, yet it is with you that he now shares more than 60 years of magical experience. He, who experienced the golden age of the Magic Castle in Hollywood and was a personal friend of Dai Vernon and Charlie Miller, shares many fascinating anecdotes with you. As if you were there! In this episode, he tells you why Dai Vernon always called him Howar! And not Howard!  

Freddy Fah (1916-1998) is one of the greatest French magicians of the 1950s and one of Dominique Duvivier's mentors. His wife and stage partner, Yvette Fah, made a point of entrusting Dominique Duvivier with some video archives, which you can enjoy exclusively today. Dominique Duvivier himself comments on these very rare images to share with you the thrill he experienced with this exceptional artist.  

What a beautiful subject! And so vast... If you want to learn from Eric's experience in this field, watch this interview which is extremely rich in secrets. How do you tell a story? To whom can it be told? Why tell a story? And how to tell it? Thirty minutes to get to know the world of this giant of French magic and learn how to ask yourself the right questions before putting together your own show.  

What leads us to become a professional magician? What are the major apprenticeships that have marked my life and allowed me to travel in more than 60 countries and work for the biggest luxury brands? Here I give you the essence of my knowledge (and of my mistakes too!). I hope that this slice of life will inspire you!  

Prize-winning at the FISM World Magic Championships, the Kiss Act is a unique card magic act combining poetry and emotion.
