The magician invites a spectator to try an experiment in synchronicity with him. He shows two decks of cards of the same brand and the same back color. The spectator freely chooses the deck that he will use for himself; then he freely chooses 3 cards from his deck, without looking at them. Without asking any questions, the magician takes 3 cards from the other deck. Miracle of synchronicity: the magician's 3 cards and those of the spectator are the same. Impact guaranteed!  

The image of a playing card printed on the magician's business card materializes into the card freely chosen and signed by a spectator. A very commercial finale for an "Ambitious Card" routine. A subtle way to hand out your business card.  

The spectator shuffles the deck, picks a card, loses it by himself into the deck, and immediately shuffles the deck again. He performs all these actions while the magician's back is turned. Despite these extreme laboratory conditions, the magician not only finds the chosen card, but also shows that he had predicted it in advance. Easy to do.  

Dai Vernon, “The Professor”, said “We stop thinking too soon!”. This trick is a living illustration of that. The beginning is like the original "Impossible Choice" effect: The spectator shuffles the deck, takes a card, loses it himself in the deck, and immediately shuffles the deck. He performs all of these actions while the magician has his back turned. Despite these extreme laboratory conditions, in this version, not only does the magician guess the chosen card, but in addition, he makes it disappear from the deck, and finds it in a wallet that has been placed on the table for all to see from the beginning! Easy to do.  

Jacob Daley's method for performing a "Triumph". Simple, effective and convincing.  

The magician displays the two red Kings from the deck and explains that they are "Ghost Cards". He will prove it in various ways during the routine since one of the Kings will "disintegrate", the chosen cards will transform, materialize, dematerialize... A maelstrom of effects that will make your spectators dizzy, all this with a regular deck that can be borrowed!  

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 off 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! This version conceived by Dominique Duvivier is a real miracle!  

Paul Curry's "Out Of This World" is one of the greatest card tricks of all time. Dai Vernon, "The Professor", used to consider it as "The best card trick of the 20th century"! Sylvain Latour offers you here an original approach. He has imposed certain conditions: the deck is shuffled by the spectator himself and he is the one who deals the cards.  

Card technique: It is absolutely necessary to master this move which will have a great effect on your audience. Your skill will amaze them.  

An estimation technique that can be very useful in certain circumstances. This technique is not 100% reliable, but it can be a powerful weapon to baffle your most devious audience.  

A succession of flash effects with only 2 cards! Back and face color changes, transformations, duplication... a quick but intense routine with a minimum of props.  

"Do me a favor"... or how to get the spectator to hold the deck in his own hands, while unbeknownst to him, a card is very slightly outjogged from the deck, allowing you to keep control of it when you retrieve the deck. This card will obviously be the one he has chosen, and put back in the center of the deck! A diabolical tip that is really useful, and that will allow you to completely baffle your fellow card magicians!  

A great classic of card magic... An extremely effective trick, which requires a minimum of sleight of hand. The back of a freely chosen card changes color... and its face turns into the card chosen by another spectator. A real miracle!  

This routine is another approach to the basic "The deck that remembers" routine: Your audience will experience a collective hypnosis exercise... that will go further and further! Three spectators will experience an extraordinary event... but what could be more normal, since they are under the hypnotic influence of the magician!  

Dominique Duvivier describes his personal way of performing "Open Travellers", Larry Jennings' classic card magic trick. The magician shows how a card can be hidden in his hand, but in an invisible way: he ostensibly puts a card in the palm of his hand, and yet it is shown empty on both sides, fingers outspread... and when he puts the "invisible card" down on the table, it can be seen again.  

Card Technique: First published in the book "Duvivier Magic", published by Kaufman & Greenberg in 1996. The special thing about this double lift is that you spin the double card in the air, as if it were doing multiple somersaults, thus removing any suspicion of cheating. This is an extremely effective way to do it!
