ACAAN (Any Card At Any Number) is a mythical effect by David Berglas: the chosen card ends up at the number designated by the spectator. Here, the cards are shuffled beforehand, and to find the freely chosen card, the cards are counted down from the freely chosen number! Success guaranteed!

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! Dominique Duvivier brings us a new version of his own! To buy an ordinary deck of cards click here.  

A " Tsunami " of madness! Tsunami is a Japanese word that means "tidal wave". It is a trick that will devastate the brains of your audience, whether they are laymen or magicians. The spectator chooses a card, and loses it under extreme laboratory conditions. Despite this, the magician finds the chosen card! A new version of this highly incomprehensible theme!

Here Dominique Duvivier offers us a version of "Personal Collectors", but in this variant he has predicted the cards chosen! To buy an ordinary deck of cards click here.  

An exceptional new handling for the torn and restored card. A freely chosen card is signed, then torn into four pieces. All the pieces are fused together, one by one, in full view, until the card is completely restored. Everything can be handed out for examination, and the card is handed out as a souvenir. The trick is relatively easy to perform, and the restorations seem completely impossible. A true marvel. To buy an ordinary deck of cards click here.  

The Tossed Out Deck is an extremely popular and possibly the best neo-classical plot in mentalism. For Luke Jermay, this trick is one of the best opening routines for a performance. He gives us here his own version of this wonderful effect! Several spectators peek at a card in laboratory conditions… nevertheless, the performer guesses all these cards! A real mystery!  

The magician shows a completely shuffled deck of cards. He extracts all the court cards, and shows them two by two: they never match, neither in color nor in value. But at his command, the cards are again shown two by two... and the mates are now reunited (the Jack of Spades with the Jack of Clubs, etc...). The same will happen with the rest of the deck (e.g., the red 7s will be reunited, etc…). A real mystery! To buy an ordinary deck of cards click here.  

The magician instantly makes the four Aces appear from the deck. The effect is striking, as when the corn bursts during cooking, but it's not popcorn... but the four of a kind in Aces that appear! To buy an ordinary deck of cards click here.  

An encounter with a mentalist. Fabien Olicard shares with us his inspirations, his conceptions... everything that has led him to become one of the most successful mentalists of our time. Not to be missed under any circumstances!  

Mario Lopez invites us to share a day... full of magic! This day is offered to you in several moments: 1- At breakfast! 2- In the bathroom 3- In the farmyard 4- In the kitchen 5- In the living room 6- With friends 4- In the kitchen: Three coins disappear from the magician's hand, and reappear one by one in a matchbox previously shown empty. Superb! To buy an ordinary deck of cards click here.  

Tsunami: Japanese word that means "tidal wave". It is a trick that will devastate the brains of your audience, whether they are laymen or magicians. This variation is based on a Bob Hummer principle. This routine is a completely atypical Tsunami, as there are no chosen cards, but this time the magician repeatedly guesses the number of cards turned over by a spectator under extreme laboratory conditions! A real miracle! To buy an ordinary deck of cards click here.  

In this informal chat, Alexandra and Dominique Duvivier interview Jeff McBride. He tells anecdotes, shares his magical journey, his encounters, his inspirations, his interests, his passions, his work... This interview is in three parts. Not to be missed!  

Dominique Duvivier organized an exceptional convention in 1995: The Mayette Days. He invited some of the greatest magicians of the time. Here are some excerpts, divided into three parts: Part One: Alexandra Duvivier, Dominique Duvivier, Quoc Tien Tran, Jean-Pierre Crispon Part Two: Gaetan Bloom Part Three: Gaetan Bloom, Gary Kurtz, Derek Dingle Not to be missed!  

It's a new idea on the "Center Deal", because we mix it with a "Second Deal", but without effort and moreover with color, so don't hesitate!  

It's the story of a drunk who wants to play poker. Being drunk as a skunk, he shuffles the cards face up and face down. Pretty bad start... but it ends very, very well! You will see… The DRUNKARD POKER is a great classic for magicians who are in their forties today, and more... The original trick was published if I remember correctly by LES CAHIERS DE LA MAGIE in the 60s. I don't know to whom we owe the idea and the basic routine of this wonderful classic. I obviously used this base to make something a little different. Those who know the original will surely enjoy this new version created by me in April 90. For a long time, I let this little routine (jealously kept secret by the magic intelligentsia) "sleep". A first draft came to me in 1977, but it was of little interest. In 1983, I reworked on a concept requiring the idea of the DRUNKARD POKER. These 2 versions 77 and 83 allowed me to arrive at The Drunkard poker as it has remained since.
