From a deck, the magician takes out the four aces. A succession of breathtaking effects then occurs: - The aces are separated by color: two red, two black. The aces change position! - They turn into kings! - The aces reappear, then the packets of kings and aces are transposed. - After some card travels, the four queens appear, then the four jacks. - Finally, the deck splits into two separate packets: the red cards are on one side, and the black cards on the other! A crazy routine! A guaranteed success! To buy a “Regular Bicycle Rider Deck” click here.  

The four Aces are shown, and placed in a row face down on the table. A spectator points to one of the Aces, and any three cards are placed on top of it. The other three Aces are inserted in different places inside the deck. The miracle: the Aces disappear from the deck... and take the place of the cards on the table! The actions are incomparably clear! To buy a “Regular Bicycle Rider Deck” click here.  

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.  

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.  

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!  

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.  

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.  

Not for sensitive souls! This routine is considered one of the best ever created. Some playing cards (the "missionaries") disappear one by one when placed between other cards (the "Cannibals"), they are seemingly eaten and digested by the latter. This trick is a real killer... to say the least!  

Card technique: This false shuffle allows the deck to appear to be perfectly shuffled, while the cards remain in the same order at the beginning and at the end. This false shuffle is extremely convincing. Dominique Duvivier gives an application of this false shuffle: it is a "Triumph" where the cards are shuffled face up, face down, and at the end, all the cards magically come back face down except for the previously chosen card which is the only face up card.  

"Gypsy Thread" is a great classic in close-up magic. A length of sewing thread is broken into many small pieces. The whole thing is rolled together, forming a small ball of thread. The ball is now unrolled and you are left with only one length of thread, the broken thread is completely restored. And the icing on the cake: you can hand out the thread as a souvenir, which will allow the spectator to examine it more closely!  

One of the favorite themes of magicians. You put four coins under four cards arranged in the four corners of your magician's mat. In a totally incomprehensible way, the coins are grouped one by one in one of the corners. It's wonderful!  

A very original and magical way to give your business card! The magician displays his business cards. A spectator signs one. Incredibly, next to his signature, a message appears when it was not there before! Easy to do.  

How to make your wishes come true... but be careful, you should never say them out loud! A very funny presentation by Alexandra Duvivier. With this trick, which is one of the great classics of magic for beginners, you can make any flat object appear or disappear, or transform it to your liking. Easy, but devilishly effective!  

Card Technique: This technique allows a card to be controlled while to the spectator, it is clearly buried in the middle of the deck. The deck is clean at the end of the technique: no break, the deck can be put down and squared on the table.  

According to the legend, this trick mystified Dai Vernon, "The Professor", and subsequently devastated the magic elite! A card is chosen and lost under impossible conditions. No matter, it was not only predicted in advance by the magician, but he produced it in a mysterious way! An extraordinary trick that will give happiness to you... and to your audience!  

Basic Technique: You ask the spectator to choose a card, but you oblige them to pick the one already pre-selected by you. The Cross Cut Force is one of the easiest forcing methods; it does not require any manipulation.
