A card is chosen, and lost in the deck. Any two cards are placed face down on the table; the deck is set aside. The two cards turn magically into two red kings, and a card appears audibly face down in between the two face up kings; this sandwiched card is shown: it is of course the chosen card!  

The magician displays the Ace of Spades, which he sets aside on the table. He also has some blank faced cards. These cards will be printed one by one and turn into normal cards. And in the end, the Ace of Spades that was set aside has now turned blank!  

Dominique Duvivier offers a "light" version of the "Coins in Glass / Duvivier Coin Box" routine. Four coins are enclosed in a small metal box. A first coin travels invisibly into his hand, then all the coins go through the table together. The climax is incredible: to prove the impossibility of everything that has just happened, the magician shows that the box is in fact a solid block, and that it could never have contained anything! You can buy the product « Routine complète Duvivier coin box Eisenhower » in our secret shop, to which only "I'm addicted to magic" subscribers have access.  

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!  

The magician shows four 10s of Clubs on one side, and four Queens of Clubs on the other. He exchanges a single card from each packet, and the others mysteriously follow. He performs the effect a second time, and as a climax, he shows that he now has a four of a kind in 10s on one side (Spades, Hearts, Clubs and Diamonds), and a four of a kind in Queens on the other side! Everything is handed out for examination.  

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!  

The magician displays the two red Kings from the deck and explains that they are "Ghost Cards". He will prove it in various ways during the routine since one of the Kings will "disintegrate", the chosen cards will transform, materialize, dematerialize... A maelstrom of effects that will make your spectators dizzy, all this with a regular deck that can be borrowed!  

The "exact" protocol of the "Collector" principle as taught to Dominique by Derek Dingle is scrupulously respected here, namely: - The four Aces are placed face up aside at the beginning of the trick. - Three cards are chosen, and are lost in the deck. - The four Aces are put on top off the deck. - And without shuffling or any other manipulation, the Aces "collect" the chosen cards, i.e. they are found face down in between the four face up aces! This version conceived by Dominique Duvivier is a real miracle!  

The magician takes the Ace, 2, 3, 4 and 5 of Spades from the deck. One by one, each of these cards, placed in the center of the packet, magically rises to the top of the packet. The last one, the 5 of Spades, turns into the 5 of Hearts. Then the four 5s appear, and then the red and the black cards are now separated in the deck! Guaranteed impact!  

A "little exercise in style" as Dominique announces: Aces are lost then magically come back in three increasingly confusing phases and, it must be admitted, it's a bit annoying! Follow the Master!  

In a very ordinary deck of cards, cards are shuffled face up and face down, really. Everything is clean, and yet the cards unshuffle on sight!  

It's the story of a drunk who wants to play poker. Being drunk as a skunk, he shuffles the cards face up and face down. Pretty bad start... but it ends very, very well! You will see… The DRUNKARD POKER is a great classic for magicians who are in their forties today, and more... The original trick was published if I remember correctly by LES CAHIERS DE LA MAGIE in the 60s. I don't know to whom we owe the idea and the basic routine of this wonderful classic. I obviously used this base to make something a little different. Those who know the original will surely enjoy this new version created by me in April 90. For a long time, I let this little routine (jealously kept secret by the magic intelligentsia) "sleep". A first draft came to me in 1977, but it was of little interest. In 1983, I reworked on a concept requiring the idea of the DRUNKARD POKER. These 2 versions 77 and 83 allowed me to arrive at The Drunkard poker as it has remained since.  

A mysterious and very flash effect: you have only one card, but it changes three times! To be seen again and again, to amuse your fingers... and your spectators!  

As a tribute to this famous Brother John Hamman effect, I created an impromptu version (without gaffed cards) of two cards that turn into four different cards.  

A trick specially designed for one or more travellers who are in front of you in a train car. Magic is needed in all circumstances!  

Just with two red kings, a normal deck and two selected cards, you will perform miracles! The two red kings find the first chosen card and it disappears, without any suspicious moves. Then the second chosen card is in turn caught by the two red kings and disappears, too! The two cards are then lost in the deck and the spectator finds one himself. And final surprise: the entire deck that was face down for the entire trick is turned face up, with only one card face down: the second chosen card! Unbelievable!
