Dominique Duvivier explains a simple but effective method for learning the identity of a card chosen under laboratory conditions, then how to control it and finally reveal it, even though the spectator has checked the deck and shuffled it before and after choosing the card.

The spectators choose four cards under very clear conditions, since they are the ones performing the actions. These cards have been predicted in advance by the magician!

The magician holds a four of a kind in Aces in his hands. The cards magically turn face up one by one at first, then all together in a second step. Then the Ace of Spades disappears and reappears. It is then shown that the four Aces now each have a different back! Everything is handed out for examination.  

The magician explains that when he goes to a casino, he “steals” one of the cards and gives it a casino rating from A to Z, which he has marked on the back of each card. He shows that he has a dozen cards, which are thoroughly shuffled face up and face down, both by himself and by a spectator. Five cards are randomly selected by a spectator, who is really lucky, as the cards spell out the word “Lucky”! And when these cards are turned over, they form a royal flush in spades! Success guaranteed!  

After thoroughly shuffling the deck, the spectator deals the cards one by one onto the table; the card on which he stops is the one that the magician had predicted in advance, thanks to his intuition! To buy an ordinary deck of cards click here.  

The basic effect: The spectator and the magician each think of a card and these two cards end up side by side in the deck of cards. Which is stranger: that the magician's card is next to the spectator's card or the other way around? A disturbing and beautiful effect! In this version, the spectator is free to choose any card from the 52 cards in the deck, and for the climax, the card thought of by the spectator is the only card with a different back! Devastating!

The magician proposes to perform “Three Impossible Things” with the help of a spectator. The spectator shuffles and cuts the deck between each of the three phases. And yet, a four of a kind in Kings is produced first, then they mysteriously gather in the same place after being separated, and finally, the four Aces will appear!

Peter Din is a specialist in magic for kids. In this interview (in several parts), he answers the question: Why magic for kids? More than that, he explains the “how”, and his vision of this particular type of show. Here he shares his invaluable advice, explaining how he handles his entire audience - children, of course... but parents too. As a bonus, you'll find the performance of his “Cut and Restored Balloon Trick”, which he created in honour of Raymond Devos!  

The magician guesses the thoughts of three spectators without asking them any questions! That's real magic.  

A card is first placed in a spectator's hand. Another spectator chooses a card, which is clearly placed back in the middle of the deck. The magician shows that a card has turned face up in the middle of the face down deck ... but it's not the spectator's chosen card... And when the first spectator turns over her card, it's now the one that was in the middle of the deck, while the latter has turned into the chosen card!

Like ACAAN, this effect is considered the Holy Grail of card magic. This version is completely impromptu, is performed with a normal deck, and the icing on the cake is that the “predicted” card is freely chosen by the spectator at the beginning of the trick!

JeanLuc Bertrand shares his version of the “Card in the Cigarette”, an extremely powerful finale to your close-up performance. He explains his very personal way of setting up the trick, the simple techniques he uses, and his presentation. To buy an ordinary deck of cards click here.  

Dominique Duvivier demonstrates a new Eddy Taytelbaum wonder (no explanation). A miniature temple contains six blocks of different colors. A spectator freely chooses two colors. The blocks are enclosed in the “pagoda”, and blocked by a stick. Despite these impossible conditions, the two chosen blocks mysteriously escape from the temple. Everything handed for examination before and after the trick! Another jewel of craftsmanship!  

The magician shows two blank cards, on which are handwritten the names of two cards: 5 of Diamonds and 6 of Clubs; this constitutes a kind of "Open Prediction" with two cards. One card from the deck is chosen by the spectator. It's face down, and nobody knows it yet. The magician gives himself 4 possibilities of having predicted the chosen card with his two prediction cards: it could therefore be a 5 or a 6 for value, and Diamonds or Clubs for suit. The chosen card is turned over: nothing to see, since it's the 4 of Hearts! The magician is dismayed, and turns over the two written cards on the table: they are both 4 de Hearts!
