Of course, the four cards from the four of a kind end up into the pockets... To buy: - a regular deck of cards click here. - a regular deck of cards click here.  

From a shuffled deck, a spectator selects three cards. Then, out of thin air, the magician produces the four Aces. These four Aces are all transformed into the first card selected. For example, if the first card is the Jack of Hearts, there are no more Aces, only Jacks of Hearts. The trick is repeated with the second chosen card, then the third one. At the end, you have the four Aces again, the three chosen cards, and everything is handed out for examination! A real killer! To buy a regular deck of cards click here.

Dominique Duvivier honored Samy Liardet in a videotape in 1995, showcasing the extraordinary work of this legendary magician. In this excerpt, you will discover one of his masterpieces: “The Indian Rope".  When he performed at "La Rôtisserie de l'Abbaye", it was in a huge, listed cellar; there were pillars, and one of the highlights was seeing him perform "The Total Circle", which he wrapped around a pillar! He used his space better than anyone else; he could lap pieces of rope in a champagne bucket placed on the table, or show “The Total Circle" with the opening hidden under the table, but showing his hands open and then retrieving everything! Don't miss this magnificent testimony to pure genius. To buy some rope click here.

Yannick Chrétien has described his own version of this classic card trick on this platform (see “Open Travellers (Yannick Chrétien)” below). David Stone demonstrates his own personal way of presenting it (no explanation).  

You borrow a ring and a shoelace, the most ordinary. You announce that you will be able to put the ring on the lace, without the ends leaving the viewer's sight... A scarf is placed over the middle of the lace and the ring. The magician goes under the scarf, without the ends moving. And unbelievable: the ring is tied on the shoelace! You MUST try this clever trick.  

In the magician's arsenal, it is very practical to be able to "force" a spectator to take the card you want. Here is one possibility!  

Two thieves share a loot of seven ordinary coins. But the sharing won't be fair, because one bandit is more of a thief than the other! A nice little story to tell, while bluffing your spectators!  

A selected card is lost in the deck and then found in completely impossible conditions! The spectator randomly takes a group of cards from the middle of a deck of cards. He secretly counts the number of cards selected (for example, five) and then places them on top of the deck, while looking at the fifth card. To lose the magician completely, he shuffles everything again. Yet the magician manages to find the card that the spectator has secretly looked at! An incredible method. See for yourself!  

Something to have at your fingertips! This technique of Arturo Di Ascanio is an indispensable part of the magician's knowledge. Here is the principle: you show four red cards and, when you want, you can make a black card appear!  

You take out a black 7 and a black 9 and clearly lose them in the middle of the deck. Then with a simple magic gesture you find them in a flash.  

The magician takes out nine cards: three jacks, three queens and three kings and alternates them, jack, queen and king. They are put back on the deck. With a wave of the magic wand, the couples are instantly separate: all the jacks are reunited, all the queens and all the kings. It's amazing!
