Card Technique: This John Cornelius' flourish allows you to turn a card face up nicely by flipping it in the air. It has been adapted by Dominique Duvivier to perform an extremely deceptive double lift (see the "Double Cornelius Duvivier" video).  

Card Technique: First published in the book "Duvivier Magic", published by Kaufman & Greenberg in 1996. Originally a flourish by John Cornelius (which is described in detail in the video "Cornelius Turnover"), it allows you to turn a card face up nicely by throwing it in the air. Dominique Duvivier has adapted this technique to perform a double lift. This way of doing things is extremely deceptive!  

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!  

Card technique: This false shuffle allows the deck to appear to be perfectly shuffled, while the cards remain in the same order at the beginning and at the end. This false shuffle is extremely convincing. Dominique Duvivier gives an application of this false shuffle: it is a "Triumph" where the cards are shuffled face up, face down, and at the end, all the cards magically come back face down except for the previously chosen card which is the only face up card.  

Card technique: Another of Dominique Duvivier's methods for twirling a double card in the air, removing any suspicion of cheating. This method is extremely effective!  

An exercise in style inspired by Frank Garcia to Dominique Duvivier: The four Aces are lost in the deck and found one by one after a whole series of shuffles.  

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.  

Any four cards are set aside, then a card is chosen from the deck. And then the madness begins! The random cards all turn into the chosen card! Then suddenly they become Aces! But that's not all: things get really complicated with the magician's pockets. A very subtle routine with many twists and turns. For those who like technique, it's pure happiness!  

Card technique: To give the illusion that the deck is shuffled with an overhand shuffle, but it remains in its starting order. Very convincing!  

A variation of "The 3 bets, based on Bob Farmer" already broadcast on our streaming platform. A Tsunami of madness. A card is chosen under completely impossible conditions. And yet, the magician finds the card with 100% success. Success guaranteed!  

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.  

A card is freely chosen by a spectator; it splits into two, then into three, and finally we obtain a four of a kind in Aces... which instantly melts together into a single card, the one chosen by the spectator at the beginning! The four Aces are now face up in the middle of the face down deck! A wonderful and unexpected effect! This trick is a variation of "Toulagli", already described previously on this streaming platform.  

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 magician places in a row on the table the Ace of Spades, followed by the 2, 3 and 4 of the same suit. Three red cards are shown, and placed on top of the Ace of Spades; the latter mysteriously rises to the top of the packet, as if it used a magic elevator! The effect is repeated with the 2, then the 3 of Spades. But the 4 doesn't want to go up? In fact, it is his companions who have joined him: instead of the 4 of Spades and three red cards, the packet is now made up of the four Spades!  

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.
