This interview of Claude Rix by Alexandra and Dominique Duvivier is dedicated to the "Fruits d'Or", which is a magic brotherhood created by Claude Rix in 1973. We have seen Fred Kaps, Ali Bongo, Tommy Wonder, Richard Ross, Guy Lammertyn, Léon Chapelier, as well as Franck Garcia and Jean Ludow... And in the last few years, we have always seen: Gaetan Bloom, Alexandra and Dominique Duvivier, Francis Tabary, Devil, Pavel, Horace, the Blackfingers, Piet Forton, Quoc Tien Tran, Marc Paul, Antony Owen, Christopher, Jean Régil, Jean de Merry, Norbert Ferré, Bertran Lotth, Boris Wild... to name just a few! Every year the brotherhood meets for two or three days near Reims, France in the small village of Montaneuf to talk magic, perform magic, drink together, create magic tricks, eat together, exchange magical ideas, drink together, eat, laugh and especially drink a little to celebrate the new "Fruit d’Or" of the year (the new magician elected by the brotherhood)! The induction ceremony for a new member involves quite a ritual, including a rather original "test" since the "candidate" magician has to swallow a knife using a method that has never been used before by all the other members of the "Fruits d’Or".

Dominique Duvivier's version of David Solomon's trick. The Ace of Spades (the Leader Ace) is set aside on the table.

Through this discussion, Jerome Sauloup opens the doors of his universe to you at the frontiers of reality: how and why he became interested in magic at six years of age, what his training was, how he approaches his magic, what he has contributed to our art through the tricks he has created, how he designed magic sets, tricks and books for beginners, which have been distributed all over the world… A very personal journey for this talented magician.  

The deck is shuffled, four spectators each freely indicate a card in the deck; these cards are isolated in a wallet. The magician shows a prediction, which is signed by a spectator, and puts it in the wallet together with the four chosen cards. The spectator opens the wallet himself, takes out the cards and the prediction, and sees that everything matches! And the icing on the cake, the magician shows that it couldn't have been any other way, since all the other cards in the deck are identical! A great miracle!
