This trick was first published in the book "Cartomagie Année 2001" by Dominique Duvivier in 1974. A card is freely thought in a group of cards. The deck is shuffled. The magician asks for the name of the card, and spells it out, putting one card per letter... the chosen card happens to be the one with the last letter! A real miracle!  

A very cute routine to entertain your friends, while fooling them! The spectator chooses a card, and puts it back into the deck. The magician explains that he's going to turn the cards over one by one, and the spectator will have to remain "Poker Face" when he sees his card... but he'll betray himself by having an imperceptible sign on his face; this is indeed how the magician finds the card. He then explains that the spectator can do the same trick himself, even if he has no notion of morphopsychology. The roles are then reversed: the magician becomes a spectator, and vice versa. And indeed, the spectator "guesses" the chosen card, but in a completely unexpected and funny way! This trick allows you to have a special interactive moment with your audience.

Dominique Duvivier performs one of Eddy Taytelbaum's wonders (no explanation). Kong Hi is a kind of Japanese genie who, extracted from his lair, will find the card chosen by the spectator!  

Dominique Duvivier performs one of Eddy Taytelbaum's wonders (no explanation). Three small different colors rings are enclosed in a small pagoda-shaped box. One of the colored is freely chosen by a spectator. The corresponding ring is mysteriously imprisoned on a small magic wand that has been placed through the pagoda!  

A card is chosen by a spectator under extreme laboratory conditions. In spite of these impossible conditions, the magician finds the card without a moment's hesitation! This trick was published in Dai Vernon’s Inner Secrets of Card Magic, written by Lewis Ganson. Success guaranteed! To buy an ordinary deck of cards click here.  

The spectator shuffles the deck of cards, which is then ribbon-spread on the table. The magician announces a card "that comes to mind", and asks the spectator to put his finger on top of one card from the spread: this card is turned face up, and is of course the card the magician had designated in advance!  

This parlour/stage routine for all audiences (children and/or adults) will enable you to present a 15-minute magic sketch with a succession of effects following on from one another to form a coherent whole: card chosen, lost and found, prediction, torn and restored card, object in a balloon. A delight for your audience. To buy: - Red Jumbo decks click here. - Sculpting ballons click here.  

ACAAN (Any Card At Any Number) is a mythical effect by David Berglas: the chosen card ends up at the number designated by the spectator. Here, Dominique Duvivier offers you his very own version of this effect, in which he guesses both the card and the number, both freely determined by the spectator! Success guaranteed!

A real little gem of mentalism, with five objects. While they are covered by a scarf, and you are standing with your back to them, the spectator removes them one by one and puts them, according to your directions, in his pockets. There is a prediction in view from the beginning. At the end, the prediction reveals that such and such an object will be in such and such a pocket, and the prediction proves to be correct! No stooges, no electronics, and a real surprise!  

Five spectators each choose a brown paper bag under extreme laboratory conditions. The sixth and last bag is for the magician. Each bag contains a surprise gift: the spectators receive various trinkets: candies, some toilet paper, a paper napkin, etc... But in the magician’s bag, there are... lots of banknotes! A great classic revisited by Gaetan Bloom. Even if you know the previous versions, you will be fooled! Gaetan gives you the instructions to make the trick by yourself, or you can buy it in our Mayette magic store: https://mayette.com/en/salon-et-scene/2280-july-14  

This video is the live performance of this trick already published on Double Fond TV. A trick that can even be done over the phone, where everyone understands except the spectator… It's great!  

PATEO Force (Pick Any Two, Eliminate One) is a method of forcing a particular object from a set of objects created by Roy Baker. It involves the spectator and magician in a rotating selecting and elimination process, leaving only one object from an unlimited number of objects.  

The magician opens a small envelope and shows that there is a card inside: it is his prediction card. The envelope is closed and left in full view. A card is freely chosen, and is lost in the deck. The magician takes the envelope again, and the prediction card magically goes through the envelope! The envelope is opened, it is now empty! The card is turned over, it is the card that has been freely chosen before, and is no longer in the deck!  

Enter the wonderful world of this expert and great magician. Patrick Page lectured at the Double Fond on February 13, 2000, which you can enjoy in eight parts. You will discover a fabulous artist, who will share with you extraordinary secrets.  

Pairs of cards are assembled according to the instructions of different members of the audience. The audience's options and choices are completely free. Despite these crazy conditions, the two cards making up each pair turn out to be identical! The trick was shot live at the Double Fond.  

Any Card At Any Number (ACAAN): The freely chosen card ends up at the number designated by the spectator. A killer version of David Berglas' mythical effect!
