Le Double Fond opened its doors on June 1, 1988. These exceptional archives offer a glimpse of Dominique Duvivier during his early shows at Le Double Fond in 1988 and 1989. These shows have been divided into three episodes. Not to be missed under any circumstances!  

Michael Ammar welcomes you to his "New Frame of Mind". He emphasizes the importance of verbal, nonverbal, and physical communication in your magic performances; it allows you to plant specific thoughts in the minds of your audience. In short, to become a “Master” of magic, you must master communication! You can see more of that Michael Ammar’s Set by clicking on the category “ Coffrets => A new frame of mind”.  

Michael Ammar welcomes you to his "New Frame of Mind". Keeping a magic journal… is, for him, the most important part of his creative process: you can use it to jot down your thoughts, questions, answers, and inspirations… This will give you a visual perspective that will help you bring your future creations to life!

There are "magical" places where it's said that throwing a coin into a fountain or a well grants wishes… The magician makes a fist, and an ordinary coin dropped inside transforms successively into a silver coin, an old antique Chinese coin, and finally a giant coin!

Dominique Duvivier demonstrates a new Eddy Taytelbaum wonder (no explanation). A paddle trick that shows you can do without a calculator by simply using these!  

The magician shows everyday objects, but ones that are supposedly secretly packed with “nanotechnology,” which he will use to spectacularly reveal two freely chosen cards! To buy a regular deck of cards click here.  

Gaetan Bloom's wonderful version of the classic trick where a silk is transformed into an egg. The trick is explained to the audience... but they will be completely blown away by the end of the explanation, because the egg is a real one at the end of the trick!

Four Kings change places with four Aces, then all these cards are lost in the deck. The magician then makes four piles, mixes the cards together, and makes the Aces appear on top of each pile, followed by the Kings. To buy an ordinary deck of cards click here.  

The magician conjures up English coins, then American coins, then euro banknotes of various denominations, ending with a jumbo coin! To buy: - some half-dollar coins click here. - some Chinese coins click here. - one Jumbo Coin click here. - one 60x60x silk click here.  

The magician declares that he is going to perform a trick with two coins... but a third one appears! He puts it in his pocket. But it happens again and again and again... In the end, all three coins disappear! To buy some half-dollar coins click here.  

The magician shows a piece of paper folded in four: this is his prediction. The deck is handed out for examination. The spectator shuffles it, cuts it, chooses a card, and returns it to the deck, all under laboratory conditions. The prediction is revealed: it says “Seven of Diamonds.” The spectator is astonished, as it is not his card. “But I didn't say it would be YOUR card. It's MY prediction card!” The magician then spells out “Seven of Diamonds,” placing one card per letter... the last card is the spectator's! Success is guaranteed with this true miracle! NOTE : Dominique explains the trick with the 4 of Diamonds, which of course works in French, but not in English; you have to perform the trick with the 7 of Diamonds, which spells with the right number of letters.

Magicians love tricks where one object passes through another. One of the great classics is the "Coins Through the Table" trick. Here, we show you how to perform the same effect, but using a living object: your own hand! To buy some dollar coins click here.  

With this multi-phase routine, you’ll explore most of the superpowers that open the door to the world of magic: making money appear, passing through solid objects; the powers of suggestion, invisibility, telepathy, teleportation… To buy: - some Standard Half-Dollars click here. - some Chinese Coins click here. - some Chinese Coins click here.

Dominique Duvivier demonstrates a new Eddy Taytelbaum wonder (no explanation). A spectator thinks of one of 18 objects. The magician guesses exactly which one it is!  

The "exact" protocol of the "Collector" principle as taught to Dominique by Derek Dingle is scrupulously respected here, namely: - The four Aces are placed face up aside at the beginning of the trick. - Three cards are chosen, and are lost in the deck. - The four Aces are put on top of the deck. - And without shuffling or any other manipulation, the Aces "collect" the chosen cards, i.e. they are found face down in between the four face up aces! Allan Ackerman proposes his own version, the techniques are original, and the chosen cards are really clearly lost in the middle of the deck (no Tilt Move!). To buy a regular deck of cards click here.
