The chosen card, lost in the deck, ends up in the magician's pocket which was empty. Then the whole deck is teleported into his pocket. Each time, it is the spectator who goes into the pocket, to see that it is empty at the beginning, then goes to look for his own card in the middle of the trick, and the rest of the deck at the end! Ideal in all conditions: close-up, cocktail, parlour and stage!  

The four aces are clearly scattered in different parts of the deck of cards. The magician makes it clear that they are neither on top nor on the bottom of the deck. Yet, in the blink of an eye, the Aces gather on top of the deck. The trick is repeated, but this time the Aces gather on the bottom of the deck. Finally, the Aces go through the deck one by one... and everything is handed for examination! To buy an ordinary deck of cards click here.  

The Faro shuffle (or perfect shuffle) will serve you for shuffle "like the pros" and also for multiple applications using this specific type of shuffle. The principle? You shuffle cards one on one throughout the entire deck of cards. This technique is a must for your magician's panoply!  

The "Bloom Touch" version of this classic close-up trick. A card is chosen, torn up by a spectator, who keeps a piece of it. The other pieces are placed in the magician's pocket. A coin is borrowed, signed by another spectator, and placed in the magician's pocket. The magician then takes out of his pocket two wooden plates linked by rubber bands. The spectator removes the rubber bands and between the two plates, the spectator's card is found, which has been restored; but a piece is missing... which corresponds exactly to the one the spectator had kept. The climax is crazy: the spectator feels that there is something inside the card: he tears it up, and in its "entrails" there is... the signed coin! A real miracle.

A new "killer" version on the theme of "Nervous Breakdown". The magician ribbon spreads a red-backed deck face down on the table. A spectator FREELY chooses one of the cards, which is set aside. Then a second spectator FREELY THINKS about a card, which is taken from a blue-backed deck. The red card is turned over: it is the card thought of by the second spectator! Success guaranteed!

The magician shows that he has one red-backed card in a blue-backed deck. He explains that he can influence the spectator's thinking without the spectator being aware of it!

The magician shows a blue deck and sets it aside : this is the prediction deck. He now displays a red deck, shows that the cards are all different, and a spectator FREELY choose one card. He then takes the blue deck out of its case, and ribbon spreads it on the table: there is a red-backed card among the blue-backed cards... and that card is the same as the chosen card !

Leonardo da Vinci was a painter, inventor, engineer, scientist, humanist, philosopher... he was a universal mind. He was also a visionary. He was an inventor too far ahead of his time for his projects to be realized; he nevertheless recorded them on parchments. Among his more confidential inventions are... playing cards! You are clearly showing front and back cards representing reproductions of secret parchments drawn by Leonardo da Vinci. All these parchments instantly turn into real playing cards, front and back! But this invention remained a secret... that's why these playing cards instantly turn back into parchments!  

The four Kings are shown, and are very clearly placed in different parts of the deck. A magic gesture, and without doing anything more, the four Kings go back on top of the deck. Very easy to do, and very effective! To buy a “Regular Bicycle Rider Deck” click here.

The deck is shuffled by a spectator. Two poker hands are determined under "laboratory conditions". However, whichever hand the spectator chooses, he will lose, because the magician will have a Royal Flush in Spades! To buy a “Regular Bicycle Rider Deck” click here.  

"Nervous Breakdown" is one of Dominique Duvivier's bestsellers: The spectator has a free choice from among the four kings, and it is shown that this king was predicted in advance. The pitch of the trick is the same, but here the choice is not just from among four cards, but from the whole deck. Yes, the spectator chooses a card freely from among the 52 cards in the deck, and this card was clearly predicted in advance! Success guaranteed!  

Renelys was Dominique Duvivier's first mentor when he was very young. He used to do a two card transposition and to do so, he used a stripper deck. Dominique explains two ways to do this effect, but with regular cards. To buy a “Regular Bicycle Rider Deck” click here.  

The deck is shuffled beforehand by a spectator. A card is placed face down on the table: this is the prediction card. Three piles of cards are freely determined by the spectator. The top card of the first packet is turned over: it is, for example, a 4; the prediction card is shown: it is also a 4! And that's precisely how many spectators there are in your audience! The first cards of the two other piles are turned over: these are the two missing 4s! You have understood that if you had a different number of spectators, for example eight, you would get a four of a kind with 8s. Success guaranteed!

This very old effect has been revisited by Gaetan Bloom. The basic "recipe" of Al Baker's trick has been enhanced with a little extra "Bloom Touch" that gives it such a special taste! A pie tin is blackened with soot. A mysterious inscription appears in this soot... it's the name of the card that has been chosen beforehand by a spectator!
