Macau, gambling hell! You'll be up against a spectator in a frantic game of poker under the strictest of conditions: only 10 cards are used, and it's the spectator who shuffles the cards. Despite these extreme conditions, the magician will win! Success guaranteed! You can buy a normal pack of cards by clicking here.  

The magician places a small cloth purse on the table: this is his prediction. He asks a spectator to recall a trip she has taken in the past, and to choose one of the countries she visited. The purse is then opened; and it contains a coin from that country!  

An easy, but devilishly baffling trick. A coin placed in between the hands of the magician disappears completely. Nothing in the hands, nothing in the sleeves, the coin has vanished into thin air!  

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!

As a bonus, you'll find the performance of his “Cut and Restored Balloon Trick”, which he created in honour of Raymond Devos!  

A red card is set aside. In a blue-backed deck, a card is chosen by a spectator under laboratory conditions... and when the prediction card is shown... it's the same card! A real killer!

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! Everything is handed out for examination. To buy: - a regular deck of cards click here. - some single blank back card click here.
