Macau, gambling hell! You will face a spectator in a frantic Poker game under the strictest conditions: only 10 cards are used, the spectator will designate FREELY each time which card is given to the magician, and which card he will get for himself. Despite these extreme conditions, not only will the magician win, but he shows that he has predicted both hands in advance! Success guaranteed!  

The magician shows two decks of cards in their cases: one red and one blue. The blue deck is taken out, the cards are shuffled, a card is chosen and lost in the deck by a spectator in extreme laboratory conditions. The red case is opened, it contains only a piece of paper folded in four, which is unfolded: it has "12" written on it. The spectator counts the cards from the top of the deck: the 12th card is his!

This video is the live version of "3 Queens Elmsley Duvivier" already published on Double Fond TV. 5 cards are placed clearly in the shirt pocket at the beginning of the trick. 2 cards are freely chosen, and lost in the deck, which is placed on the table. The magician takes the 5 cards, fans them, and turns the two cards at the ends face up, as well as the one in the center: 3 queens are then revealed; the most extraordinary thing is that the 2 face down cards sandwiched between the 3 queens are the 2 chosen cards!  

The magician shows his lucky card, the King of Hearts. Thanks to that card, he bets that he will find the Aces one by one in the color order that he announces beforehand, while the spectator thoroughly shuffles the deck between each Ace! In the end, the spectator freely chooses a card; it disappears from the deck and reappears in the magician's pocket. No palms, no sleight of hand. Success guaranteed!  

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.  

The magician shows a blue deck and sets it aside : this is the prediction deck. He now displays a red deck, shows that the cards are all different, and a spectator FREELY choose one card. He then takes the blue deck out of its case, and ribbon spreads it on the table: there is a red-backed card among the blue-backed cards... and that card is the same as the chosen card !

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!  

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!  

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"!  

The magician tries to find the four Aces "blindly"; but he fails; but his mistake is not a mistake because these cards were planned; but these "wrong cards" finally change into Aces! And the chosen card that he couldn't find appears... in several duplicates! A series of misunderstandings... which are no longer misunderstandings, thanks to magic!  

"Business Card" is one of the great classics of card magic. The pitch is as follows: The magician shows a piece of paper folded in four that he places in side view on the table: this is his prediction. A deck of cards is shuffled. The deck is ribbon spread face down on the table and a spectator places a business card where he wants it (no force). The two cards on either side of the business card are shown; the prediction is opened: both cards are written on it! A "magic" way to hand out your business card ! In this version, we do the same thing, but without the business card! To buy a “Regular Bicycle Rider Deck” click here.  

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!  

A very different prediction effect! Cards are rolled, up like little tubes and placed into a bottle... You shake the bottle to shuffle them well, then you have a number freely chosen. The cards are then taken out of the bottle one by one until you get to the chosen number and the card matches your prediction! Only one card comes out, no duplicate and an intriguing object: this magic bottle can rest on a shelf in the living room for example, ready to use. You'll tell me about it!  

The magician shows six miniature suitcases and six envelopes. Envelopes and suitcases are paired in a clear and random way according to the wishes of six different spectators, using a "magic formula"! It is clear that it was impossible to predict in advance how the suitcases and envelopes would be combined; however, the objects in the suitcase and the associated envelope are clearly complementary each time: for example, the card that was in the envelope complements the four cards in the suitcase, to form a royal flush! Success guaranteed!  

This trick is a variation of "Chicago Opener" by Frank Garcia. Dominique Duvivier described it in his first book in 1974, and elsewhere on this platform. In this version, the first card is freely thought by the spectator. Success guaranteed!  

The chosen card, signed by a member of the audience, is lost in the deck. Incredible as it may seem, it is the spectator himself who will find his own card in the face down deck! Even more astonishing, the signature as well as the face of the spectator's card will disappear in a very clear way; the card becomes entirely white! To rematerialize this card, simply make a magic pass over the deck and the signed card reappears face up in the middle of the deck. The magician then turns the other cards over and to his amazement, they are now all completely white!
