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.  

The spectator determines five cards under extreme laboratory conditions, after shuffling the cards by himself. He adds up the values of the cards. For example, if he has a 10, a 6, a 3, a 5 and an 8, the total is 32. However, the magician had emptied his pockets at the beginning of the trick, and had therefore placed some coins aside on the table. We add up the values of the coins, there are 32 cents... the same total as for the cards!  

An impossible and baffling revelation! A spectator randomly selects a jigsaw puzzle piece from a loose pile of pieces. The magician draws attention to a cloth that covers a completed puzzle on the table. He removes the cloth and shows that one piece of that puzzle is missing. Incredibly, the single puzzle piece the spectator selected is exactly the correct piece needed to complete the puzzle! This famous magic effect has been performed by many top professional magicians. This easy method brings the identical effect within your grasp, so you can delight and baffle your own audiences. To buy the trick click here.  

Two cards are chosen, and lost in the deck. The cards are clearly shuffled, half face up, half face down. A magic pass... and all the cards turn face down, except the two chosen cards! The climax is unexpected: all the other cards, except the two chosen ones, are now blank! Success guaranteed! To buy the trick “Triumph Kicker)” click here.  

The spectator chooses a card under extreme laboratory conditions. The magician takes out of his wallet, which has been on the table from the beginning, all the bills that were in it: there are €85. On one of the bills, there is written in black felt pen the name of a card: it is the name of the card that has been chosen!

A blank card lays on the table at the beginning of the trick. The deck is displayed, and shuffled by taking half the cards face up, the other half face down. The spectator freely chooses one of the face-down cards. A magic pass, and the deck is spread out on the table: all the cards are now face up, except for one which is face down: it's the chosen card! The blank card is turned face up: it's the same card as the chosen one! New magic pass: all the backs of the cards of the deck are now blank! Success guaranteed!

The magician shows the 8 of Spades, and puts it down on the table: it's the card that finds selected cards! Three cards are chosen, and are clearly lost in the deck. Thanks to the 8 of Spades, the magician will find the three chosen cards in an unusual and astonishing way! To buy: - an ordinary deck of cards click here. - only one ordinary card click here.  

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!

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!  

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!  

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!  

It's a tool more than a trick, and it has had many versions. It is also a principle that will allow you to do many differently themed presentations. Specially designed for stage or parlour magic, with normal and contemporary objects... a notepad and a marker... To be passed around, because there's nothing to see... except success, at the end  

More than impossible: inconceivable. Look at this approach, you'll like it.  

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.  

The "Bloom Touch" version of this classic close-up trick. A card is chosen, torn up by a spectator, who keeps a piece of it. The other pieces are placed in the magician's pocket. A coin is borrowed, signed by another spectator, and placed in the magician's pocket. The magician then takes out of his pocket two wooden plates linked by rubber bands. The spectator removes the rubber bands and between the two plates, the spectator's card is found, which has been restored; but a piece is missing... which corresponds exactly to the one the spectator had kept. The climax is crazy: the spectator feels that there is something inside the card: he tears it up, and in its "entrails" there is... the signed coin! A real miracle. To buy an “Intercessor” click here.
