Four Kings change places with four Aces, then all these cards are lost in the deck. The magician then makes four piles, mixes the cards together, and makes the Aces appear on top of each pile, followed by the Kings. To buy an ordinary deck of cards click here.  

Since he’s a bit superstitious, the magician shows his lucky charm: it’s a card he’s folded into quarters and held together with a clothespin. A card is freely chosen, signed, and lost in the deck using various shuffling methods from different countries. He finishes with the Chinese shuffle, which mixes the cards haphazardly, face up and face down. All the cards mysteriously end up facing the same way, except for one; when the spectator names their card, the magician reveals the face of the card on which “Exact” is written! He ends with a mind-blowing climax: the chosen card turns out to be the folded card that was stuck in the clothespin—and which had been in plain sight since the beginning of the trick!

At the end, everything is handed out for examination.To buy: - one Mini Duvivier Wallet click here. - some blank face cards click here.  

Crowns and hats are great because kids don’t play with them. That means they’re less likely to get broken, and they’re also more noticeable. Here, I’ll show you how to make a crown based on the ladybug we saw earlier. To buy “Modeling Balloons” click here.  

The original version of one of Dominique Duvivier's "signature" tricks, which he came up with in the 70s. "I wanted to do a trick in which the spectators would be surprised visually, mentally, as much as possible, and as frequently as possible... a cascade of crazy, colorful, visual effects, where everything transforms to the fullest.” Don't miss it!

Three spectators each freely choose a card. Using his Joker, the magician reveals the three cards one by one in a playful manner. This is followed by a series of transformations in which all three cards turn into Jokers, and then back into themselves. Everything is handed out for examination at the end of the trick! Brilliant!
