"More than a routine, it is a real theater play".

Set-up your notes, you are going to learn a routine from 20 years of magic (24, but we stopped counting).  

The magician shows his lucky card, the King of Hearts. Thanks to that card, he bets that he will find the Aces one by one in the color order that he announces beforehand, while the spectator thoroughly shuffles the deck between each Ace! In the end, the spectator freely chooses a card; it disappears from the deck and reappears in the magician's pocket. No palms, no sleight of hand. Success guaranteed!

"Wild Card" is one of the greatest classics of small packet tricks. It was created by Peter Kane. Dozens, even hundreds of versions have been conceived to this day. Dominique Duvivier's version is one of the purest ever. Nevertheless, he went even further with this +++ version, because now you can hand all the cards out for examination at the end of the routine. A real miracle!  

A flash production of the four aces! Two indifferent cards turn into the four Aces in the blink of an eye!  

Two cards are freely chosen from an examined and shuffled deck, and then they are lost. The first card will be the first to be found, then it will disappear and reappear several times under different conditions. At the end, the second card will magically turn face up in the middle of the face down deck! A succession of effects as mysterious as they are incredible!  

The principle: a picture of a magician is shown, and the people present have a freewheeling discussion about what it evokes in them. Today, three protagonists: Gaetan Bloom, Alexandra and Dominique Duvivier, who share their memories, anecdotes and real-life stories about these great figures of magic. The two photos of the day: Otto Wessely, and Albert Goshman. Not to be missed under any circumstances!  

The Extraordinary Card is one of Dominique Duvivier's great classics. He delivers here the latest version of his magnificent trick. The effects are multiple: the cards mimic one another, transform, appear, disappear ... a maelstrom of effects that will leave you stunned and make you think: "But will it never stop ... ".

Blind Complicity... it's a kind of magical Speed Dating! In fact, it is the double revelation of a thought of card, which highlights the "shared understanding" between two people. Ideal for a "Lovers' Evening"!  

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!  

The magician explains that each card of a deck has a particular relationship with another card of the deck; this relationship is not just anyone, it is the one that links the twin cards; for example, the 2 of Hearts is linked with the 2 of Diamonds; the 9 of Spades with the 9 of Clubs, etc... A card is chosen by a spectator and is isolated in the case, previously shown empty. A second card is pointed out by the spectator in a very clear way. The two cards are compared: they are the twin cards!  

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.  

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.  

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.
