The magician shows two cords. The spectator makes a double knot and tightens it to the maximum. In a fraction of a second, the cords are now separated, the double knot has mysteriously disappeared!  

This video is the live performance of this trick already published on Double Fond TV. A trick that can even be done over the phone, where everyone understands except the spectator… It's great!  

The chosen card, lost in the deck, ends up in the magician's pocket which was empty. Then the whole deck is teleported into his pocket. Each time, it is the spectator who goes into the pocket, to see that it is empty at the beginning, then goes to look for his own card in the middle of the trick, and the rest of the deck at the end! Ideal in all conditions: close-up, cocktail, parlour and stage!  

Teleportation is moving instantly from one place to another. Ubiquity is being in two places at the same time. Dominique Duvivier proposes here a "ubiquitous teleportation" trip! The coin signed by the spectator will travel successively into different pockets of his jacket, in an almost instantaneous way! Impact guaranteed!  

This creation will already put you in the "big league" and is the very symbol of balloon sculptors. It is also an opportunity to learn how to make several bubbles in a row.  

You are going to make your spectators experience a special adventure, a mix of all kinds with several types of effects. A prediction deck (red back) is shuffled. Four cards are chosen from a second deck (blue back) under crazy conditions by four different spectators, while the magician's back is turned. These cards are lost in the deck under equally clear conditions. The magician, "to warm up", starts by finding the four Aces in the blue deck. The cards in the prediction deck are now counted: there are only 48. The four missing cards are the chosen cards, and have mysteriously traveled into the blue deck! And to top it all off, the four Aces from the red deck travel one by one into the magician’s four pockets.! At the end of this routine, both decks are handed out for examination.  

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.  

The spectator chooses a card, which is lost in the deck. A magic pass, and a card mysteriously turns up face up in the center of the deck; but against all odds, it is not the one chosen by the spectator: it is the 5 of Hearts. The magician then counts the cards from the 5, and the fifth one turns out to be... the chosen card. A completely automatic trick, but devilishly effective!  

An exceptional card transposition! Two cards are chosen, and lost in the deck. The magician asks the first spectator what the value of his card is (e.g. a 9). He takes out the corresponding four of a kind. 1st effect: the chosen card (e.g. the 9 of Diamonds) is magically turned face down among the three other 9s, which remain face up. 2nd effect: The magician announces that the second card in the deck will turn over. When he ribbon spreads the deck, astonishment, it is not the second card chosen that is face up, but... the 9 of Diamonds! 3rd effect: the card face down in the four of a kind is shown: it is the other chosen card! Guaranteed impact.  

The magician opens a small envelope and shows that there is a card inside: it is his prediction card. The envelope is closed and left in full view. A card is freely chosen, and is lost in the deck. The magician takes the envelope again, and the prediction card magically goes through the envelope! The envelope is opened, it is now empty! The card is turned over, it is the card that has been freely chosen before, and is no longer in the deck!  

The mentalist asks a spectator to project his thoughts into the magician's head. The experiment takes place in three steps: first he guesses the letter that the spectator "sends" him, then a two digit number, and finally the card he has chosen. And the icing on the cake is that the magician shows that the card was predicted in advance! A very personal application of Viktor Vincent's double reality principle.  

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 magician takes the two black kings out of the deck and puts them face up aside on the table. Then he asks a spectator to name any card from the deck, except the two black kings, of course; the choice is completely free. Incredibly, the thought of card is no longer in the deck, it is sandwiched face down between the two face up black kings! A real miracle!  

The spectator divides the deck into four piles; he shuffles each pile thoroughly. The magician does not touch anything. However, at the end of the trick, there is an Ace on top of each pile! Success guaranteed!  

Card technique: The principle of the peek is to secretly know the identity of a card in the deck. This particular technique has already been described by Alexandra Duvivier.  

This trick is the “+ version” of the "Signed Coin Routine" already described on this platform. A half-dollar signed by the spectator is sandwiched between two English pennies, and then everything is isolated in a small metal box. The coins disappear and reappear mysteriously. The effect is repeated several times in a row! A real miracle!
