A great classic of close-up magic. How to give the illusion of swallowing a knife! Easy to do, but very deceptive.  

This video is the live performance of this trick already published on Double Fond TV. Dominique Duvivier's version of Brother John Hamman's trick. The four aces magically pass one by one through the table. The crazy climax: at the end of the trick, the four cards turn into Kings! Impact guaranteed!  

Dominique Duvivier's version of this great close-up classic. You present a beautiful cup, a small glass, a scarf and a small red ball. With all this you will be able to perform a succession of small miracles: the ball will disappear, reappear, travel... and at the end, you make a big ball appear! And the icing on the cake, what just happened is impossible, because the cup is now a solid block, and the ball is now "heavy"!  

Another miracle from our friend Howard Hamburg. The spectator chooses a card under absolute "laboratory conditions". However, all you have to do is spell out the spectator's name by counting one card per letter... and the last card turns out to be the spectator's! Success guaranteed!  

PATEO Force (Pick Any Two, Eliminate One) is a method of forcing a particular object from a set of objects created by Roy Baker. It involves the spectator and magician in a rotating selecting and elimination process, leaving only one object from an unlimited number of objects.  

A card is freely chosen, lost in the deck; the deck is enclosed in its case. A silk is handed for examination, and placed on top of the case. Despite these laboratory conditions, the chosen card will disappear from the deck and end up in the folds of the silk!  

The deck is shuffled half face up, half face down. However, all the cards are in the same direction, except for the card that has been previously chosen. The special feature of this revolutionary method is that it is done without any false shuffle!  

You're going to love this routine full of twists and turns! You take the Aces out of your deck, lose them back in different ways, and off you go for a series of mind-boggling effects to find them again! You're going to fool your friends, that's for sure! This trick has already been described by Dominique Duvivier.  

An easy, but devilishly baffling trick. A coin placed in between the hands of the magician disappears completely. Nothing in the hands, nothing in the sleeves, the coin has vanished into thin air!  

An impromptu card trick, quick, easy to do, but still baffling! Several variations of this classic trick are explained on this platform. This version is David Solomon’s one.

The deck is shuffled by a spectator. The two red kings are handed out for examination, joined by a rubber band, and set aside. One card is freely chosen, and placed in the center of the deck. The card disappears from the deck and reappears "sandwiched" between the two red kings! Everything is handed out for examination.

Sweet-talking is an essential quality of a hustler! Claude Rix begins by brilliantly illustrating this observation through a masterful “Three Card Monte” routine. One card wins, the others lose... and the spectator will always lose, despite all the advantages progressively given to him throughout the demonstration... which ends with an unexpected climax!
