The magician and spectator each choose a card. For example, the magician thinks of the Ace of Spades, and the spectator thinks of the 2 of Hearts. First, the magician magically finds his Ace of Spades... and sends it into the spectator's mind! When the card is turned over, it's now the 2 of Hearts... and the Ace of Spades has disappeared from the deck, since it's now imprisoned in the spectator's mind! Everything is handed out for examination. To buy an ordinary deck of cards click here.  

One of the favorite themes of magicians. First, you make four coins appear under four cards. These coins are then placed in the four corners of your magic mat, each covered by one of the cards. Magically, the coins gather one by one in one of the corners. This effect is performed a second time, and at the end, when all four coins are under the same card, they mysteriously return to their original position - a single coin under each of the four cards!

The spectator chooses a card that no one, not even himself, looks at; this card is set aside. The spectator now cuts the deck wherever he wishes, and three piles of cards are formed from the cut half. The top card of each pile is shown; these are any three indifferent cards. These cards should give some indication of the spectator's card... but they don't! The spectator's card is displayed, and now the random cards have transformed to form a four of a kind with the spectator's card! To buy an ordinary deck of cards click here.  

Le Double Fond opened its doors on June 1st 1988. This exceptional archive allows you to discover Dominique Duvivier in this run-through of one his shows (recorded on October 5, 1989). These extracts have been split into four parts. Not to be missed!  

The magician displays a purse, opens it and takes out... another purse... which contains yet another purse! From this last purse, he takes out four Chinese coins, which he places in a row on the table. One of these coins is replaced in one of the purses (the other two have been put away); when he counts the coins on the table again, he has four of them! The process is repeated several times! The last time, he puts not one, but three coins in the purse... and despite this, he still has four and hands them out for examination!  

This trick is a classic of card magic. It was created by Al Leech in 1950, and popularized by Frank Garcia under the name "Chicago Opener". The magician causes a freely-selected card to change its back color (say from red to blue), which is then tabled. The performer then claims to be able to repeat the effect and a second card is selected. This second attempt fails - no second blue card is found - but the performer makes good by turning over the first blue card and showing that it has now magically changed into the second selection.
