This video is the live performance of this trick already published on Double Fond TV. As Dominique says: a "little exercice in style": Aces are lost then magically come back in three increasingly confusing phases and, it must be admitted, it's a little bit annoying! Follow the Master!  

Another miracle from our friend Howard Hamburg. The spectator chooses a card under absolute "laboratory conditions". However, all you have to do is spell out the spectator's name by counting one card per letter... and the last card turns out to be the spectator's! Success guaranteed!  

The magician shows two cords. The spectator makes a double knot and tightens it to the maximum. In a fraction of a second, the cords are now separated, the double knot has mysteriously disappeared!  

This video is the live performance of this trick already published on Double Fond TV. A trick that can even be done over the phone, where everyone understands except the spectator… It's great!  

The chosen card, lost in the deck, ends up in the magician's pocket which was empty. Then the whole deck is teleported into his pocket. Each time, it is the spectator who goes into the pocket, to see that it is empty at the beginning, then goes to look for his own card in the middle of the trick, and the rest of the deck at the end! Ideal in all conditions: close-up, cocktail, parlour and stage!  

PATEO Force (Pick Any Two, Eliminate One) is a method of forcing a particular object from a set of objects created by Roy Baker. It involves the spectator and magician in a rotating selecting and elimination process, leaving only one object from an unlimited number of objects.  

The spectator chooses a card, which is lost in the deck. A magic pass, and a card mysteriously turns up face up in the center of the deck; but against all odds, it is not the one chosen by the spectator: it is the 5 of Hearts. The magician then counts the cards from the 5, and the fifth one turns out to be... the chosen card. A completely automatic trick, but devilishly effective!  

An exceptional card transposition! Two cards are chosen, and lost in the deck. The magician asks the first spectator what the value of his card is (e.g. a 9). He takes out the corresponding four of a kind. 1st effect: the chosen card (e.g. the 9 of Diamonds) is magically turned face down among the three other 9s, which remain face up. 2nd effect: The magician announces that the second card in the deck will turn over. When he ribbon spreads the deck, astonishment, it is not the second card chosen that is face up, but... the 9 of Diamonds! 3rd effect: the card face down in the four of a kind is shown: it is the other chosen card! Guaranteed impact.  

The magician opens a small envelope and shows that there is a card inside: it is his prediction card. The envelope is closed and left in full view. A card is freely chosen, and is lost in the deck. The magician takes the envelope again, and the prediction card magically goes through the envelope! The envelope is opened, it is now empty! The card is turned over, it is the card that has been freely chosen before, and is no longer in the deck!  

The mentalist asks a spectator to project his thoughts into the magician's head. The experiment takes place in three steps: first he guesses the letter that the spectator "sends" him, then a two digit number, and finally the card he has chosen. And the icing on the cake is that the magician shows that the card was predicted in advance! A very personal application of Viktor Vincent's double reality principle.  

A card is freely chosen, lost in the deck; the deck is enclosed in its case. A silk is handed for examination, and placed on top of the case. Despite these laboratory conditions, the chosen card will disappear from the deck and end up in the folds of the silk!  

The magician takes the two black kings out of the deck and puts them face up aside on the table. Then he asks a spectator to name any card from the deck, except the two black kings, of course; the choice is completely free. Incredibly, the thought of card is no longer in the deck, it is sandwiched face down between the two face up black kings! A real miracle!  

The spectator divides the deck into four piles; he shuffles each pile thoroughly. The magician does not touch anything. However, at the end of the trick, there is an Ace on top of each pile! Success guaranteed!  

Card technique: The principle of the peek is to secretly know the identity of a card in the deck. This particular technique has already been described by Alexandra Duvivier.  

The deck is shuffled half face up, half face down. However, all the cards are in the same direction, except for the card that has been previously chosen. The special feature of this revolutionary method is that it is done without any false shuffle!  

You're going to love this routine full of twists and turns! You take the Aces out of your deck, lose them back in different ways, and off you go for a series of mind-boggling effects to find them again! You're going to fool your friends, that's for sure! This trick has already been described by Dominique Duvivier.
