The four aces lay face up on the table. The deck is shuffled by a spectator, a card is freely chosen, and lost in the deck. The four Aces are shown again; one of the Aces mysteriously turns face down: it is the Ace of the same suit as the chosen card. And when this Ace is turned face up... it is now the chosen card!

Sweet-talking is an essential quality of a hustler! Claude Rix brilliantly illustrates this observation with a masterful routine in which he mixes a “Three Card Monte” routine with a small chain and coin magic in a very personal way. The demonstration ends with a succession of unexpected climaxes!  

Card technique: Howard Hamburg explains his personal technique for secretly learning about a spectator's choice of card when he says "Stop" as you riffle the cards. To buy a “Regular Bicycle Rider Deck” click here.  

The spectator chooses a card that no one, not even him, looks at; this card is set aside. The spectator now cuts the deck where he wants, and three piles of cards are made up from the cut half. The top card of each pile is shown, these cards are for example three Kings. These cards clearly indicate that the starting card is the fourth King, which is indeed the case. It is therefore the spectator himself who has discovered his own chosen card! To buy a “Regular Bicycle Rider Deck” click here.  

"Business Card" is one of the great classics of card magic. The pitch is as follows: The magician shows a piece of paper folded in four that he places in side view on the table: this is his prediction. A deck of cards is shuffled. The deck is ribbon spread face down on the table and a spectator places a business card where he wants it (no force). The two cards on either side of the business card are shown; the prediction is opened: both cards are written on it! A "magic" way to hand out your business card ! In this version, we do the same thing, but without the business card! To buy a “Regular Bicycle Rider Deck” click here.  

An impromptu trick with everyday props that can be borrowed: two paper clips and a banknote. The two paper clips will link together in a mysterious way!  

This trick is a variation of "The Mystery Card" already described on this platform. Cards are successively selected from a red-backed deck. The magician shows that in his deck, there is a special card, the "Mystery Card", which has the particularity of being the only blue-backed card. The chosen cards and the "Mystery Card" will transform, transpose and mimic each other in a diabolical ballet!

The dream of every magician: to transform matter into gold! The famous “Vanishing Coin in Paper” trick revisited in the time of the alchemists.  

A freely chosen card,which is clearly "buried" in the deck... rises to the top after the spectator hits the deck with the palm of his hand, or with his fist: it is the "magic pass" he has chosen beforehand! To buy an ordinary deck of cards click here.  

Two metal cups are displayed. The magician magically makes one cup pass through the other. The illusion is stunning! This is a perfect introduction to your cups and balls routine.  

How to hold two coins on top of each other by the edge! A magical "incongruity"!  

The four aces are clearly scattered in different parts of the deck of cards. The magician makes it clear that they are neither on top nor on the bottom of the deck. Yet, in the blink of an eye, the Aces gather on top of the deck. The trick is repeated, but this time the Aces gather on the bottom of the deck. Finally, the Aces go through the deck one by one... and everything is handed for examination! To buy an ordinary deck of cards click here.  

The "Linking Rings" close-up version, with three bracelets... that are handed for examination at the end of the trick! A killer!  

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!  

The four kings are set aside. A chosen card (for example, the 5 of Hearts), placed among the four kings, changes into one of the kings: the King of Spades. Then all the cards in the packet become identical: they are all Kings of Spades. In the end, the magician ends up with only one King of Spades... and the other four cards turn into a four fives!
