This trick is a variation of "The Mystery Card" already described on this platform. Cards are successively selected from a red-backed deck. The magician shows that in his deck, there is a special card, the "Mystery Card", which has the particularity of being the only blue-backed card. The chosen cards and the "Mystery Card" will transform, transpose and mimic each other in a diabolical ballet!

A "Tsunami" of madness! A card is chosen and lost in extreme laboratory conditions. However, the magician finds it without asking any questions. Based on a Bob Hummer idea, inspired by a Joshua Jay trick, Dominique Duvivier has created this magnificent version. Great art! To buy a “Regular Bicycle Rider Deck” click here.  

The magician displays a blue-backed card, and places it aside on the table: this is the "Mystery Card". Two cards are freely chosen from a red-backed deck. These two cards and the "Mystery Card" will transform, transpose and mimic each other in a diabolical ballet!

A card is chosen, and lost in the deck. The magician picks up two random cards, and puts them down one by one aside on the table. When he shows these two cards again, we see that they are now three: the two random cards have turned into the King of Hearts and the King of Diamonds, and in between these two kings, there is now the chosen card! Success guaranteed!  

Two red kings turn into three selected cards... Fast, efficient and very baffling!  

An incomprehensible card "sandwich" effect that goes crescendo! A chosen card by the spectator is miraculously between two red kings. Twice ! Fast, efficient and very bluffing!  

A card disappears completely from the deck. It dematerializes on sight! It is impossible and yet... This trick is completely crazy!  

The spectator and the magician each think of a card and these two cards end up side by side in the deck of cards. Which is stranger: that the magician's card is next to the spectator's card or the other way around? A disturbing and beautiful effect!  

The spectator chooses a card under impossible conditions. Then he takes five cards out of the deck (including the chosen card), as if each of them were his card. He will have lied four times. Despite these extreme conditions, the magician, acting as a real live lie detector, will find the chosen card!  

Like ACAAN, this trick is considered the Holy Grail of magic. Many people are still looking for the perfect solution to this trick. Here is one!  

The four Kings are taken out of the deck and handed out for examination, then placed aside. Three cards are freely selected, signed, and placed on top of the four Kings. A magic move toward the small packet... and the seven cards are only four: these are the four gluttonous cards that have made a feast of the three chosen cards! In the end, the four cards are now only three: the chosen cards; the four Kings are face up in the middle of the deck! Success guaranteed!  

The four Kings are "gluttonous cards" that will "absorb" three freely chosen and signed cards. These will then be regurgitated, and the four Kings will be reunited. This version is different from the one already described on this platform ("The Gluttonous Cards 1997").  

A very original trick. The magician places a blue-backed card face down on the table, and takes out the 2 Jokers from a red-backed deck. The spectator chooses a card from the rest of the deck, and places a sticker that he has signed on the face of the card. The magician never touches the chosen card, it is held between the two Jokers, which are used as tweezers. The blue-backed card is a duplicate of the chosen card! And although this card has been freely chosen by the spectator, when all the other cards in the deck are shown, everyone can see that the deck is made up of Jokers only! Everything is handedout for examination.  

In this routine, we go through the different types of Ace Assemblies. The routine is divided in three steps: Classic Ace Leader, Progressive Assemby and Reverse Assembly. In each step, four packets are made; in each packet, there are three indifferent cards and one Ace. 1- Classic Ace Leader: All the Aces travel instantly in one packet (the Ace Leader packet). 2- Progressive Assembly: The first Ace disappears from the first packet, and is found with the Ace in the second packet. Then the two Aces disappear, and end up with the Ace of the third packet. The process is repeated one last time, and the four Aces are found in the Leader packet! 3- Reverse Assembly: In this variation, we start with a Classic Leader Ace, and for the climax, all Aces mysteriously and instantly travel into their original packet! Guaranteed impact!  

The magician shows his cards to a spectator, who thinks of one of them quite freely. However, this card has been predicted beforehand, since the magician shows that there is only one foreign card in the deck (it is a card that has a different back to the cards in the deck), and it is indeed the one thought of by the spectator! Success is guaranteed! In the explanation Dominique mentions a new sleight, it is in fact the "Hitchcock Move" which you will find in the sub-category "My Techniques" of Dominique Duvivier.  

Your audience will experience a collective hypnosis exercise... that will go further and further! Three spectators will live an extraordinary experience... but what could be more normal, since they are under the hypnotic influence of the magician!
