The magician shows a few playing cards and says that they are recycled parchments by Leonardo da Vinci. And he proves it, because instantly, all the playing cards turn into parchments on both sides! An original plot with an extremely visual effect! To buy some repositionable adhesive dots click here.  

In this series of effects, the magician highlights the intuitive qualities that a given spectator possesses without even knowing it! A magnificent routine that combines coincidences, prediction, and even... a magic square! Superb! To buy a regular deck of cards click here.  

Dominique Duvivier demonstrates a new Eddy Taytelbaum wonder (no explanation). A paddle trick that shows you can do without a calculator by simply using these!  

The magician shows everyday objects, but ones that are supposedly secretly packed with “nanotechnology,” which he will use to spectacularly reveal two freely chosen cards! To buy a regular deck of cards click here.  

A four of a kind in Kings is transposed with a four of a kind in Aces, then all these cards are lost in the deck. The magician then makes four piles, shuffles 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.

The magician's name gradually appears on the backs of the cards of the deck. When this one is spread out, there is only one card left with writing on it: the one that was chosen beforehand by the spectator! Highly visual, highly effective! To buy an ordinary deck of cards click here.  

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.
