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!  

This video is the live version of "3 Queens Elmsley Duvivier" already published on Double Fond TV. 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!  

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!  

An impossible trip: you're going to love it! You take a normal deck of cards, without any preparation. The four aces are out as well as the two red kings. You place the ace that the spectator has chosen between the two red kings and you have a card chosen. Now it's time for magic! The ace that was between the two red kings ends up in your hand, while the chosen card, which was in plain view on the table, ends up between the two red kings. A little wonder to add to your repertoire!  

A deck of cards doesn't seem to have been printed properly: no faces, only blue and red backs shuffled... And yet the magic happens!  

Non-transparent cards, it seems obvious, right? But have you ever seen cards, transparent or not, change color in full view? Dominique baffles us again by changing a small packet of four cards in full view: Ace, 2, 3, 4 of Spades to Ace, 2, 3, 4 of Hearts!!! In a seeming impromptu way moreover, because the cards are taken from a regular deck of cards! Ace, 2, 3 and 4 of Spades are taken out of the deck. The ace is put face down on the other face up cards. Everything turns face down in an instant. Then the 2 magically turns over, then the 3 and finally the 4... And all the cards are face down again: it's crazy with just four cards! Thanks to the platform's secret store, you will even be able to get the necessary equipment.

If you like to play cards and at the same time you're a magician, then sparks fly!  

An ace assembly routine that is a bit peculiar, since aces end up returning to their original place.  

A card, sandwiched between two red kings, is signed and then lost in the deck of cards. This one is found in impossible conditions, but the craziest is the end! Go and discover it!
