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!  

The cards are spread out higgledy-piggledy on the table, face down. The magician names a card, and the spectator must touch the back of a card, the bet being that it must be the right one. For good measure, the process is repeated two more times by the spectator and the magician. The three cards are shown: they are the right ones! Easy to do, huge effect!  

A mysterious and very flash effect: you have only one card, but it changes three times! To be seen again and again, to amuse your fingers... and your spectators!  

Any Card At Any Number (ACAAN): The freely chosen card ends up at the number designated by the spectator. A killer version of David Berglas' mythical effect!  

How to find a chosen card in an original way. A flash and surprising trick, to amuse your fingers once again... and your spectators!  

The magician "marks" and isolates the card freely chosen by a spectator by clipping a paper clip on it. Despite these laboratory conditions, this card, placed in the middle of the deck, mysteriously rises to the top, and then transforms in the spectator's hands. The effect is extremely baffling and very visual.  

The spectator freely determines a card by drawing a picture of it. While the conditions of the choices are perfectly clear, the chosen card ends up being the only face up card among all the face down cards!  

The spectator chooses a card under impossible conditions. Then he takes five cards out of the deck (including the chosen card), as if each of them were his card. He will have lied four times. Despite these extreme conditions, the magician, acting as a real live lie detector, will find the chosen card!  

This is the "remastered" version of the "Classic Signed Card", which you can see and learn more about on this site. 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! To re-materialize this card, the spectator simply makes 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! In this + version of the routine, all the cards are given out for examination at the end, which was not the case in the "classic" version.  

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!  

Two red kings sandwich a freely chosen card. The card dematerializes in the magician’s fingers then reappears face up in the face down deck. A killer!  

3 copper coins in the right hand will escape ONE BY ONE to join 3 Chinese coins in the left hand. Both palms will be open at each trip... which is perfectly impossible! An extraordinary principle will allow you to create this completely brilliant illusion. And on top of that... it's EASY to do!!! Even NO GIMMICK! A dream for you and your audience.  

An atypical three-card monte with water. Ideal for children’s shows… but not only that !  

To make the four Aces appear in the wink of an eye! Hyper flash, hyper effective!

Dominique Duvivier offers you a kind of exercise in style: The magician takes four indifferent cards from the deck. They instantly become four aces, then four kings! A feast for the eyes!
