Basic Technique: You ask the spectator to choose a card, but you oblige them to pick the one already pre-selected by you. The Cross Cut Force is one of the easiest forcing methods; it does not require any manipulation.  

Short video introduction of the videocast with Laurent Beretta and the Duviviers.  

An amazing impromptu trick! Two quite ordinary matches are used. One match is placed on top of the other in your hands, and it begins to hop around frantically without you making any moves! It is a real miracle that no spectator will be able to reproduce!

This trick is completely automatic. It is perfect for beginners. The deck is divided into two packets. One card is freely chosen from each packet, and lost in the other. The two packets are examined and shuffled by the spectators: there is no way to distinguish the chosen cards from the other cards. Despite this, the magician finds the two cards without asking any questions. Impossible to understand!  

How to make your wishes come true... but be careful, you should never say them out loud! A very funny presentation by Alexandra Duvivier. With this trick, which is one of the great classics of magic for beginners, you can make any flat object appear or disappear, or transform it to your liking. Easy, but devilishly effective!

A mentalism trick by phone. Ideal for the beginner... as well as for the experienced magician! The spectator chooses a card. The magician calls one "mentalist friend", and without any words being exchanged, he gives the phone to the spectator; to his great astonishment, the mentalist reveals the name of his card! Spectacular and incomprehensible!  

A very original and magical way to give your business card! The magician displays his business cards. A spectator signs one. Incredibly, next to his signature, a message appears when it was not there before! Easy to do.  

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

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.

An ecological trick! Or how to use a match twice. Take a match that has already been used in an ashtray, and by rubbing it on the striking surface of the box, it will ignite again.
