The magician places a small cloth purse on the table: this is his prediction. He asks a spectator to recall a trip she has taken in the past, and to choose one of the countries she visited. The purse is then opened; and it contains a coin from that country!  

Peter Din is a specialist in magic for kids. In this interview (in several parts), he answers the question: Why magic for kids? More than that, he explains the “how”, and his vision of this particular type of show. Three ropes of different length change size, and become identical... then return to their original size. Everything can be examined at the beginning and at the end. This is one of the greatest classics of magic. You can perform the trick in all conditions: close-up, parlour and stage. Success guaranteed! To buy some rope click here.

Are you interested in coin magic? Here's a move you absolutely have to master! It will require a little practice, but will allow you to perform miracles under the nose of your spectators, with regular coins. The principle: give the illusion that you are putting a coin in your hand, when it is not the case. A great classic of magic! To buy some coins click here.  

An easy, but devilishly baffling trick. A coin placed in between the hands of the magician disappears completely. Nothing in the hands, nothing in the sleeves, the coin has vanished into thin air!

One of our favorite tricks in the team! You go to a bar. Beer coasters rest under the drinks of the consumers. You take one at random and tear it up to discover that in that particular coaster is a banknote! It's great and we love this kind of trick that can be done in an impromptu way.  

A coin is borrowed and then enclosed in a square of paper. A magic pass and the magician folds the paper with the coin inside: the coin vanish! You are then free to make it reappear wherever you want!  

Tony Slydini showed me one night his fabulous pin-in-pin routine, very different from the others ... The movements were really extraordinary, but there was an open key pin and no easy change... I thought about it the next night and came up with this concept, which allows, without changing the pin, to be able to check everything at the end... A small miracle to be done very, very close !
