Card technique: The principle of the peek is to secretly know the identity of a card in the deck. This particular technique has already been described by Alexandra Duvivier.  

You are going to make your spectators experience a special adventure, a mix of all kinds with several types of effects. A prediction deck (red back) is shuffled. Four cards are chosen from a second deck (blue back) under crazy conditions by four different spectators, while the magician's back is turned. These cards are lost in the deck under equally clear conditions. The magician, "to warm up", starts by finding the four Aces in the blue deck. The cards in the prediction deck are now counted: there are only 48. The four missing cards are the chosen cards, and have mysteriously traveled into the blue deck! And to top it all off, the four Aces from the red deck travel one by one into the magician’s four pockets.! At the end of this routine, both decks are handed out for examination.  

The spectator chooses a card, which is lost in the deck. A magic pass, and a card mysteriously turns up face up in the center of the deck; but against all odds, it is not the one chosen by the spectator: it is the 5 of Hearts. The magician then counts the cards from the 5, and the fifth one turns out to be... the chosen card. A completely automatic trick, but devilishly effective!  

The magician takes the two black kings out of the deck and puts them face up aside on the table. Then he asks a spectator to name any card from the deck, except the two black kings, of course; the choice is completely free. Incredibly, the thought of card is no longer in the deck, it is sandwiched face down between the two face up black kings! A real miracle!  

The magician shows six miniature suitcases and six envelopes. Envelopes and suitcases are paired in a clear and random way according to the wishes of six different spectators, using a "magic formula"! It is clear that it was impossible to predict in advance how the suitcases and envelopes would be combined; however, the objects in the suitcase and the associated envelope are clearly complementary each time: for example, the card that was in the envelope complements the four cards in the suitcase, to form a royal flush! Success guaranteed!  

A succession of predictions with a shuffled deck of alphabet cards. A perfect effect for a finale.  

Another miracle from our friend Howard Hamburg. The spectator chooses a card under absolute "laboratory conditions". However, all you have to do is spell out the spectator's name by counting one card per letter... and the last card turns out to be the spectator's! Success guaranteed!  

Physicists have developed “String Theory”: our space-time might not be made of four dimensions, but of 30! The spectator is invited to freely choose one of the dimensions. And from there, we will witness a series of effects in this particular dimension: a card will travel in full view from one packet to another, then we will make a journey in space-time, and finally we will make a non-thought of object travel... but which travels all the same. Quite a program! A routine with many effects out of time... and space!  

The deck is shuffled copiously by the spectator, and then he chooses a card under crazy conditions. However, this card is the mate of the one chosen by the magician (under the same laboratory conditions). And to top it off, it was even predicted in advance by the magician! A real punchy trick !  

The trick is presented as a test to see if the magician and the audience are on the same wavelength! The test will prove that the spectators have lucky hands, this general connection being a good omen for the rest of the show!

The magician displays about 15 indifferent cards and asks a spectator to think of one of the "possible cards" in the packet. When the spectator names the card he has thought of, we see that it is impossible... because when the cards are displayed again, they are all the same, and different from the spectator's card, which he could not have chosen! He then takes a deck out of its case, and mysteriously produces the card that had been freely thought of! The cards specially printed to perform this trick are provided in Dominique Duvivier's "Let's Have a Dream" trick, which you can get in our Mayette magic store: https://mayette.com/en/card-towers/1111-let-s-have-a-dream  

A "Triumph" on vitamins! A spectator chooses a card, the deck is shuffled with half the cards face up, and half face down. The magician first guesses the name of the card. Then, in a second step, he declares that he is going to put the deck back in its original order; indeed, when he spreads it out, all the cards are now face down... except for one mistake: the card chosen by the spectator is the only face up card! The climax is quite spectacular: when the deck is ribbon spread face up, it is really back in its original order... since the cards are now ordered from Ace to King and by suit! And the icing on the cake, the chosen card is in the right place!  

An interesting way to use the "Electric Deck" not just as a gag, as we usually do, but as a trick.  

A card freely chosen among eight cards turns out to be the only foreign card in the packet, since it is clearly the only card with a different back!  

A very strong impromptu trick with everyday objects. A spectator draws a simple geometric shape on a sugar cube with a pencil. The sugar is placed into a glass of water, the spectator's hand is placed over the opening of the glass. As the sugar dissolves in the water, the "emanation" of the inscription will rise into the spectator’s palm, and he will be amazed when he discovers that the inscription is now reproduced on his own hand!  

An impromptu card trick, quick, easy to do, but still baffling! Several variations of this classic trick are explained on this platform. This version is Larry Jennings’ one.
