One of the magicians' favorite themes. You put four coins under four cards in the four corners of your magic mat. In a totally incomprehensible way, the coins gather one by one in one of the corners. It's great!  

An "exponential" coin routine, with one, then two, then four... and finally 16 (yes, you read that right, 16) coins, which will in turn appear, disappear, merge into each other, teleport, travel across the table... A routine full of effects for maximum impact !  

Four coins magically travel one by one through the table, despite the fact that they are isolated inside a glass. This is one of the most beautiful routines of "Coins Through the Table", and it is very easy to do. As you perform it, you will have a lot of fun and success.  

The plot of "Coins through the Table" is one of the great families of effects in coin magic. Dominique Duvivier offers you his personal version to perform this wonderful routine.  

Before anything else, the magician takes a card that he does not show, and places it face down on the table. This card will always remain in view. It is a card that has nothing to do with a card trick, but it is a card that can "predict the future". A second card is taken out and signed by a spectator; this card, let's say it's the 4 of Hearts, is lost in the deck. A succession of magical effects follows: the magician finds the Aces one by one; then the Aces turn into Kings; then the cards travel, transpose themselves; the deck that has been copiously shuffled during the trick is now arranged in four of a kind in descending order: first the four Aces, followed by the four Kings, then Queens... to finish with the four Deuces. But there are only three fours? Yes, the 4 of Hearts is missing, which is the card signed by the spectator... but where is it? Surprise, when the magician turns the card that "predicts the future", the one that has been placed face down since the beginning of the trick, and that has never been touched... it is the signed card!  

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.  

In this routine, we go through the different types of Ace Assemblies. The routine is divided in three steps: Classic Ace Leader, Progressive Assemby and Reverse Assembly. In each step, four packets are made; in each packet, there are three indifferent cards and one Ace. 1- Classic Ace Leader: All the Aces travel instantly in one packet (the Ace Leader packet). 2- Progressive Assembly: The first Ace disappears from the first packet, and is found with the Ace in the second packet. Then the two Aces disappear, and end up with the Ace of the third packet. The process is repeated one last time, and the four Aces are found in the Leader packet! 3- Reverse Assembly: In this variation, we start with a Classic Leader Ace, and for the climax, all Aces mysteriously and instantly travel into their original packet! Guaranteed impact!  

Dominique Duvivier demonstrates a new Eddy Taytelbaum wonder (no explanation). A string runs straight through a cube with a hole in it. The entire setup is shown from all angles. A spectator holds both ends of the string, and despite these impossible conditions, the magician frees the cube!

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!  

A great classic of our Art. The tricks that take place in the spectator's hand always have a strong impact. The spectator closes his hand into a fist. The magician does the same; then he passes the flame of a lighter under his closed hand... and shows that a burn mark has appeared in his palm. By a magical sympathy effect, when the spectator opens his hand, what a surprise when he will see that inside it, there is the same mark! An impromptu trick that is sure to impress your audience.  

This trick is a variation of "Chicago Opener" by Frank Garcia. Dominique Duvivier described it in his first book in 1974, and elsewhere on this platform. In this version, the first card is freely thought by the spectator. Success guaranteed!  

Pure visual and sound magic for this coin routine with a purse. When a coin attracts the others by magnetism, it goes wild!  

A variation for experts on the Matrix effect, one of the favorite themes of coin magicians. Four coins placed under four cards disappear one by one... and instantly reappear in a row on the mat. The final effect is stunning!  

The magician tries to find the spectator's card by analyzing his expressions. The spectator gloats when he realizes that the magician is wrong. But that was without counting the final turn of events! This highly interactive routine is used by Paul Gertner to put skeptical audiences in their place when they try to corner the magician. Very useful, isn't it? Not to mention that the routine is easy to do. It's all good stuff!  

Dominique Duvivier invites you to a journey back in time. He explains that he has developed a prototype with small objects (i.e. his deck of cards), and that it is up to others to develop the concept to human size! A card is chosen, and lost in "extreme" laboratory conditions. Despite this, it will "go back in time" twice... This quasi-mystical experience will end with an astounding climax.  

Several cards chosen by a spectator are mysteriously teleported, one by one, from the deck onto the table! Each time, the card is clearly shown in the middle of the deck, then without any suspicious additional gesture, we see that it is no longer there, but appears on the table! Terribly baffling.
