For Larry Jennings, it's one of the best close-up tricks ever. The magician undoes the cellophane wrapping around his cigarette pack before the audience's very eyes. The spectator holds out his hand palm-down, and under his hand, he feels the cellophane move, and the cellophane is then shown to be restored! Easy to do. An incredible miracle!  

This routine is extremely easy to perform. It's perfect for beginners to get acquainted with the trick, to perform a routine almost immediately, and to get them excited about the more elaborate routines. To buy Close-up Linking Rings click here.  

Dominique Duvivier organized an exceptional convention in 1995: The Mayette Days. He invited some of the greatest magicians of the time. Here are some excerpts, divided into three parts: Part One: Alexandra Duvivier, Dominique Duvivier, Quoc Tien Tran, Jean-Pierre Crispon Part Two: Gaetan Bloom Part Three: Gaetan Bloom, Gary Kurtz, Derek Dingle Not to be missed!  

A matrix with four casino dice! The effect is the same as with coins, but the three-dimensional nature of the dice adds volume to the effect. Wonderful! To buy an ordinary deck of cards click here.  

I love "the Bunco Book", a book about fairground scams... This is my adaptation of one of them. A board with nails... the balls fall randomly into numbered squares. The three balls are totaled: if the total is even, you win a small prize; if not... bingo! Everything's under control! I've modified the trick so that I don't have to bend certain nails, and it works really well!  

The magician borrows the spectator's handkerchief. He displays a safety pin, which is handed out for examination, and pins it to the handkerchief. The pin magically moves from one part of the cloth to another, creating an amazing effect. A second method allows you to mysteriously release the safety pin from the handkerchief. Effect guaranteed.  

Two matches are held side by side at the magician's fingertips. By the power of thought alone, the matches move apart! A real mystery!

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  

A great classic of close-up magic. How to give the illusion of swallowing a knife! Easy to do, but very deceptive.
