A gag, just an emcee's gag, with a punchline, but also a magical appearance of cards, plucked from the hat... My friend Jeff McBride wanted to include it in his series on automatic sleight of hand... An honor!!!  

Blind Complicity... it's a kind of magical Speed Dating! In fact, it is the double revelation of a thought of card, which highlights the "shared understanding" between two people. Ideal for a "Lovers' Evening"!  

A mentalism trick by phone. Ideal for the beginner... as well as for the experienced magician! The spectator chooses a card. The magician calls one "mentalist friend", and without any words being exchanged, he gives the phone to the spectator; to his great astonishment, the mentalist reveals the name of his card! Spectacular and incomprehensible!  

A very original and magical way to give your business card! The magician displays his business cards. A spectator signs one. Incredibly, next to his signature, a message appears when it was not there before! Easy to do.  

Card Techniques: Dominique Duvivier explains two different false cuts shown to him by Frank Garcia "The Man With The Million Dollar Hands" in the 70's/80's: 1- False cut in 3 packets 2- False cut in 2 packets In both cases, the deck seems to be cut, but it remains in its original order at the end of the move.  

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.  

A great classic of our Art. The tricks that take place in the spectator's hand always have a strong impact. The spectator closes his hand into a fist. The magician does the same; then he passes the flame of a lighter under his closed hand... and shows that a burn mark has appeared in his palm. By a magical sympathy effect, when the spectator opens his hand, what a surprise when he will see that inside it, there is the same mark! An impromptu trick that is sure to impress your audience.  

Jerome Sauloup offers you this mentalism routine using simple business cards and ending with a mind reading. A very effective way to give your business card to your audience.  

Gaetan Bloom: " This is also one of my favorite babies, my version of the card caught in the knot of a rope... I started with a complicated mechanism, to eliminate everything and come up with a rather Machiavellian simplicity... and watch out, no forced card, signed, no magnets, and the rope can be given out as a souvenir at the end... a true delight!"  

"Gypsy Thread" is a great classic in close-up magic. A length of sewing thread is broken into many small pieces. The whole thing is rolled together, forming a small ball of thread. The ball is now unrolled and you are left with only one length of thread, the broken thread is completely restored. And the icing on the cake: you can hand out the thread as a souvenir, which will allow the spectator to examine it more closely!  

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.  

An ecological trick! Or how to use a match twice. Take a match that has already been used in an ashtray, and by rubbing it on the striking surface of the box, it will ignite again.  

I have been looking for a long time for a method to achieve this atypical effect. A card is freely chosen, put back into the deck. The deck is put on the strings of the racket. The whole thing is covered with a transparent cover. We "sift"...and the cards seem to all, progressively go through the string mesh... all except one, and it is the right one! A trick highly regarded by "The Jerx", the king of underground magic.  

Card Technique: You ask the spectator to choose a card, but you force him, without him realizing it, to choose the one you want. This method is simple, but extremely effective; it requires no sleight of hand.  

Card technique: This technique looks like you've cut the deck when you've just transferred a card into the middle. This video complements another one previously published on this platform.  

It's one of my signature tricks, ever since its creation. After I performed it in a lecture for Michael Close when it was first created, he said to me: "When I saw the trick, I thought either this is going to be a big mistake at the end, or I'm going to get a big headache!” And he kindly admitted to me that he got a big headache... One of those tricks where the explanation is almost more beautiful than the effect... 5 minutes of happiness, where everything or almost everything is self-working, with a huge amount of public participation. Really a killer.
