I wanted a different version of the coin in the bottle, and this is it! I'll let you be surprised, but the spectator will leave with an unusual souvenir. A beautiful and twisted idea by Gaetan Bloom.  

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.  

Openers: the opening trick. What is a good opener? Henry Evans gives you his theoretical and practical thoughts on this crucial subject for magicians. Ideas to follow to the letter to ensure the success of your act or your show. Golden tips!  

The magician shows a small box from which he takes out a red-backed deck of cards; the box is now empty. A spectator is invited to hold the deck in one hand, and her other hand is held by the magician. The magician explains that he is going to transmit a magical effect through the spectator, into the deck of cards! The spectator will then determine a card in a "virtual" blue deck. This card will appear in real life, folded four times in the "Dream Box" which was empty. The red cards are shown, they have all disappeared (i.e. they are blank on each side), except for one card, which is the card chosen by the spectator! Success guaranteed!  

This video is a live demonstration of this trick that has already been published on Double Fond TV. From a previously shuffled deck, the magician finds the Aces, one by one, in the order he wants! This version was invented by Dominique Duvivier after Fernando Kheops showed him the effect without explaining it to him. For those who would linger on the explanation... yes, yes! It is encouraged! ... They will discover, to their great astonishment, that there is not really any trickery! Crazy, right? We let you judge...  

A card is chosen, and lost in the deck. The magician picks up two random cards, and puts them down one by one aside on the table. When he shows these two cards again, we see that they are now three: the two random cards have turned into the King of Hearts and the King of Diamonds, and in between these two kings, there is now the chosen card! Success guaranteed!  

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 the basic one. The spectator thinks of one card among 21. The magician makes 3 piles of 7 cards face up, and the spectator indicates which packet his card is in. The process is repeated twice. Without asking any more questions, the card thought of is revealed by the magician.  

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!  

The magician shows two cards: one red backed Ace of Spades, and one blue backed Queen of Hearts. The cards will magically travel and transform, the backs will change color. A maximum of effects with a minimum of cards! To buy a “Single Regular Card” click on the following link: https://mayette.com/en/cartes/1614-unite-normal-rouge  

This video is the live version of "Self Challenge" already published on Double Fond TV. Two cards are freely chosen from a normal deck, one in the first half of the deck and one in the second half. Before you even have time to catch your breath, you'll notice that the two chosen cards have changed packets! An instantaneous transposition, very startling and punchy!

The trunk technique described by Ralph Dewey is what made me want to make this sculpture, because I find it really nice. To buy “Modeling Balloons” click on the following link: https://mayette.com/en/balles-et-ballons/833-ballons-a-sculpter-260  

This model is a "classic" whose creator I have trouble finding. For this one, I revised the proportions and tried to rationalize its construction. With practice, you can easily transform it into a unicorn. To buy “Modeling Balloons” click on the following link: https://mayette.com/en/balles-et-ballons/833-ballons-a-sculpter-260  

This video is the live version of "3 Queens Elmsley Duvivier" already published on Double Fond TV. 5 cards are placed clearly in the shirt pocket at the beginning of the trick. 2 cards are freely chosen, and lost in the deck, which is placed on the table. The magician takes the 5 cards, fans them, and turns the two cards at the ends face up, as well as the one in the center: 3 queens are then revealed; the most extraordinary thing is that the 2 face down cards sandwiched between the 3 queens are the 2 chosen cards!  

The "ultimate" method for this great classic which will allow you to gently con the spectator, because he will think that you made a mistake. He would even be ready to bet money, but of course, you will show that "you had everything planned, even the trap"!
