A stage trick adapted to be performed in close-up. The spectator makes a small tambourine by closing the two ends of a small tube with tissue paper and two small rings. The magician then makes some coins appear inside the mini tambourine! Simple, but devilishly effective!  

This trick is a variation of "Chicago Opener" by Frank Garcia. Dominique Duvivier described it in his first book in 1974, and elsewhere on this platform. In this version, the first card is freely thought by the spectator. Success guaranteed!  

Dominique Duvivier tells you a story without words: the four aces are lost in the deck and reappear almost instantly. A kind of symphony, both musical and magical. A nice moment of poetry!  

An exercise in style inspired by Frank Garcia to Dominique Duvivier: The four Aces are lost in the deck and found one by one after a whole series of shuffles.  

Dominique Duvivier's presentation of the famous Puzzle trick, in which a piece is added several times, and the puzzle is always the same size each time. In this version, the puzzle is placed in a template which proves that the dimensions have remained the same. And everything is handed out for examination at the end!  

An estimation technique that can be very useful in certain circumstances. This technique is not 100% reliable, but it can be a powerful weapon to baffle your most devious audience.  

Dai Vernon, “The Professor”, said “We stop thinking too soon!”. This trick is a living illustration of that. The beginning is like the original "Impossible Choice" effect: The spectator shuffles the deck, takes a card, loses it himself in the deck, and immediately shuffles the deck. He performs all of these actions while the magician has his back turned. Despite these extreme laboratory conditions, in this version, not only does the magician guess the chosen card, but in addition, he makes it disappear from the deck, and finds it in a wallet that has been placed on the table for all to see from the beginning! Easy to do.  

Macau, gambling hell! You will face a spectator in a frantic Poker game under the strictest conditions: only 10 cards are used, the spectator will designate FREELY each time which card is given to the magician, and which card he will get for himself. Despite these extreme conditions, not only will the magician win, but he shows that he has predicted both hands in advance! Success guaranteed!  

To prove to the public that this gathering of aces really happens, the magician does the same thing three times... And each time it's even crazier!  

If you liked "Repeated divination" you will also like this trick. You can name the card on the bottom of the deck that faces the spectator, while you can't see anything! It's very baffling and easy to do.  

Did you like "Shitty Ace Control"? Then don't miss the rest of it: it's even faster and easier... It's a dream!  

A very nice effect where a card is transformed at sight in your fingers ... Flash and striking!  

The spectator shuffles the deck, picks a card, loses it by himself into the deck, and immediately shuffles the deck again. He performs all these actions while the magician's back is turned. Despite these extreme laboratory conditions, the magician not only finds the chosen card, but also shows that he had predicted it in advance. Easy to do.  

Two cards are chosen and placed aside. The rest of the deck is clearly shuffled face up, face down. The first card chosen is shown, it is for example the 10 of Diamonds. The deck is ribbon-spread: only the diamonds are face up, the other cards are face down; and moreover, they are ranked from Ace to King! When the 10 is inserted in its place in the ribbon, the whole suit is now together! And the craziest thing is that when the second chosen card is shown, which is for example the 7 of Spades, without having touched the deck, when the magician ribbon-spreads it again, the Spades have taken the place of the Diamonds!  

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!  

A trick that can even be done over the phone, where everyone understands except the spectator… It's great!
