Here's Beatles Nervous Breakdown live excerpt from a show by Dominique Duvivier played at Double Fond. Enjoy what you see and if you want to know more you will find this trick elsewhere on the platform in studio version with the explanation and the possibility to buy everything you need for the trick. The perfect mental and small packet trick! Dominique presents a small package, in which there is a card with one of the four Beatles on one side and the four kings on the other. He then asks the spectator to think of one of the four kings. Freely, without forcing of any kind, the chosen king will be the ONLY king face up among the cards face down. Then he shows the other cards that are supposed to be the other kings, but not at all: they are the other three Beatles! The effect is devastating!  

The magician finds two really very strange cards in his deck: a double-sided one and a double-backed one. Luckily he is a magician: a few magic gestures and the cards are fixed! The cards become regular again. And of course, the spectator can examine everything! Only two cards and the miracle is there! An absolutely baffling trick...  

As a passionate magic fan, have you been longing for a new "Bloomerie"? Here's your reward for waiting! Gaëtan offers you here the pocket version of a theatrical card trick called "Attaboy", invented by Jack Hugues. In this trick, there was a kind of little cardboard bellboy who held a box in his hands and had another one at his feet. The magician would put all the cards in the bottom box and then put them, one by one, in the top box. When the spectator said "stop", the card on which the magician stopped would match the prediction. Thanks to the creative genius of Gaëtan Bloom, there is no more need for this very clever but very bulky device! It's brilliant, we love it! We are always fascinated by Gaëtan's universe and it's a great honor to be able to share his knowledge with you. Have a great time!  

The trick is presented as a test to see if the magician and the audience are on the same wavelength! The test will prove that the spectators have lucky hands, this general connection being a good omen for the rest of the show! You can buy the “Mini Duvivier Wallet”: in our magic store Mayette: https://mayette.com/en/tours-de-magie-faciles/1350-mini-duvivier-wallet or in the « secret shop » of Double Fond TV if you have a subscription « I’m addicted to magic »  

The magician places three "Gold" coins in a row on one side of the table, and three "Silver" coins on the other side. The three "Gold" coins will travel one by one to join the "Silver" coins, without any apparent contact! The method used is interesting: minimum handling, maximum effect!  

The cards are spread out higgledy-piggledy on the table, face down. The magician names a card, and the spectator must touch the back of a card, the bet being that it must be the right one. For good measure, the process is repeated two more times by the spectator and the magician. The three cards are shown: they are the right ones! Easy to do, huge effect!  

Four thieves, symbolized by the Aces, pass one by one through the deck, then when they are caught by the gendarmes (symbolized by the cards in the rest of the deck), vanish... and gather in the packet chosen by the spectator! The saga of the gendarmes and the thieves, "Renélys style"!  

All choices are made by the spectator in a clear and unambiguous manner. The spectator determines a "virtual" card and a number. The cards are dealt one by one and when the number is reached... the card has now become "real"! The trick is completely automatic. Great Max Maven!  

The spectator freely determines a card by drawing a picture of it. While the conditions of the choices are perfectly clear, the chosen card ends up being the only face up card among all the face down cards!  

I loved the clear swap bag that Jeff Busby sold, but it was pretty fragile... I've adapted a lot of things with this box, which, because of its easy design, allows a lot of tricks... There is especially an instantaneous memory routine, made really easy thanks to the box... Other easier routines are also puzzling... and it's so funny to shuffle the cards by shaking the box !!!  

A TOTALLY automatic trick, with just a paper and a pen. A number is determined by a spectator following a neat and tidy protocol. However, this number was predicted in advance!  

A totally atypical trick. It is a "Bloomerie" in all its splendor! The magician shows an opaque jar, filled with a beverage. He pours a large part of it into a glass. A straw is placed in each of these two containers. The magician and the spectator drink a quantity of liquid on their own, one without the knowledge of the other. The magician clearly shows that he had planned in advance the amount of liquid that each one drank! Here's to you!

Technique de base : comment donner l’illusion de mélanger un jeu de cartes en effectuant une série de coupes, mais en réalité, le jeu se retrouve dans le même ordre qu’au départ. Un faux mélange simple et convaincant.
