A gag, just an emcee's gag, with a punchline, but also a magical appearance of cards, plucked from the hat... My friend Jeff McBride wanted to include it in his series on automatic sleight of hand... An honor!!!  

Matrix: this coin effect is one of the most popular among magicians. It has inspired many great versions, because the effect itself is already great. Here, we offer you the whole thing, because you have THREE effects: 1- A coin appears under each of the four cards displayed in a row on the table. The new method proposed here is neat and easy. 2 - The coins are placed in the four corners of the mat, and each one is covered by one of the cards. Magic pass! The coins jump from card to card to gather under only one! 3- No, it's not over... You make one last magic pass, and almost instantly, the coins return under their original card. You have done a Reverse Matrix. In this new and very modern version, you have THREE effects in ONE. Connoisseurs will appreciate it!  

A very original and magical way to give your business card! The magician displays his business cards. A spectator signs one. Incredibly, next to his signature, a message appears when it was not there before! Easy to do.  

The spectator shuffles the deck, picks a card, loses it by himself into the deck, and immediately shuffles the deck again. He performs all these actions while the magician's back is turned. Despite these extreme laboratory conditions, the magician not only finds the chosen card, but also shows that he had predicted it in advance. Easy to do.  

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! You can buy “Professor’s Nightmare”: in our magic store Mayette: https://mayette.com/en/tours-de-magie-faciles/1591-professor-s-nightmare or in the « secret shop » of Double Fond TV if you have a subscription « I’m addicted to magic »  

Here is a very strange production of a coin with 2 playing cards. During the performance, you will expose your empty palms... fingers spread. The cards are regular. So is the coin. Can be done surrounded. Very easy to learn. Ideal for very close work.  

An exercise in style inspired by Frank Garcia to Dominique Duvivier: The four Aces are lost in the deck and found one by one after a whole series of shuffles.  

Card Technique: You ask the spectator to choose a card, but you force him, without him realizing it, to choose the one you want. This method is simple, but extremely effective; it requires no sleight of hand.  

The magician shows four 10s of Clubs on one side, and four Queens of Clubs on the other. He exchanges a single card from each packet, and the others mysteriously follow. He performs the effect a second time, and as a climax, he shows that he now has a four of a kind in 10s on one side (Spades, Hearts, Clubs and Diamonds), and a four of a kind in Queens on the other side! Everything is handed out for examination.  

A stage trick adapted to be performed in close-up. The spectator makes a small tambourine by closing the two ends of a small tube with tissue paper and two small rings. The magician then makes some coins appear inside the mini tambourine! Simple, but devilishly effective!  

Card technique: This technique looks like you've cut the deck when you've just transferred a card into the middle. This video complements another one previously published on this platform.  

One of the great classics of magic brought up to date. From the "Spectators" point of view: "The Linking Rings" are among the most important tricks in stage magic. The effect of solid penetrating solid has always intrigued even the most knowledgeable spectators. It is an absolute "killer"! From the "Magician" point of view: It's a hassle! You have to work hard to master the trick, the rings weigh a lot, and let's not talk about the noise! The solution: "The 21st Century ribbons". The trick is easy to do, the props are light, and there is no noise! And the effect is guaranteed!  

An interesting way to use the "Electric Deck" not just as a gag, as we usually do, but as a trick.  

Dominique Duvivier's version on a basic idea of Dai Vernon. An extremely convincing "Triumph". Success guaranteed!  

A card freely chosen among eight cards turns out to be the only foreign card in the packet, since it is clearly the only card with a different back!  

The magician displays the Ace of Spades, which he sets aside on the table. He also has some blank faced cards. These cards will be printed one by one and turn into normal cards. And in the end, the Ace of Spades that was set aside has now turned blank!
