The four Aces are shown, and placed in a row face down on the table. A spectator points to one of the Aces, and any three cards are placed on top of it. The other three Aces are inserted in different places inside the deck. The miracle: the Aces disappear from the deck... and take the place of the cards on the table! The actions are incomparably clear! To buy a “Regular Bicycle Rider Deck” click here.  

The four aces lay face up on the table. The deck is shuffled by a spectator, a card is freely chosen, and lost in the deck. The four Aces are shown again; one of the Aces mysteriously turns face down: it is the Ace of the same suit as the chosen card. And when this Ace is turned face up... it is now the chosen card! Success guaranteed! To buy a “Regular Bicycle Rider Deck” click here.

Sweet-talking is an essential quality of a hustler! Claude Rix brilliantly illustrates this observation with a masterful routine in which he mixes a “Three Card Monte” routine with a small chain and coin magic in a very personal way. The demonstration ends with a succession of unexpected climaxes!  

These recordings are personal videos from Dominique Duvivier recorded in January 1991, in which he records various tricks such as "Coins through the table", "Faroleros", "Follow the Leader", "Follow the Leader Back to Back", etc... These exceptional documents, which are provided in three episodes, allow you to see the performance and/or explanation of these routines in their version of the time!  

From a deck, the magician takes out the four aces. A succession of breathtaking effects then occurs: - The aces are separated by color: two red, two black. The aces change position! - They turn into kings! - The aces reappear, then the packets of kings and aces are transposed. - After some card travels, the four queens appear, then the four jacks. - Finally, the deck splits into two separate packets: the red cards are on one side, and the black cards on the other! A crazy routine! A guaranteed success! To buy a “Regular Bicycle Rider Deck” click here.  

"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.  

Frank Chapman's presentation of the famous "Jiffy Coin Trick": « Metamorphosis » (or the "Substitution Trunk") close-up version! One of the coins is enclosed by a spectator in a little bag, which is itself enclosed in a small box, and the whole in a larger box; each of these elements is hermetically sealed by rubber bands. The two signed coins mysteriously change places! Success guaranteed! To buy a “Renelys Box” click here.  

« Hiding the Elephant » is a book written by Jim Steinmeyer that traces the history and "wars" between magicians when magic became the entertainment of choice for the general public before the advent of movies. He describes the creative process in magic, the notion of keeping a secret in magic, etc... through the great magicians of the time (Thurston, Selbit, Devant, Maskelyne, Kellar, Robert-Houdin, Buatier de Kolta, Houdini...) and the illusions they created. A fascinating and essential book!  

"Who loses wins!", this is the motto that your spectators will not be able to adopt with this trick in the form of a game, where they will never be able to guess how many coins there are under the magician's silk. In coin magic, the use of ancient Chinese coins is oriental, traditional and elegant. An attractive, effective, visual and easy to do trick. To buy “CCS” click here.  

For lack of a pet, Toto is a white bean adopted by the magician! The latter shows a glass filled with white beans. The beans are abundantly shuffled, and despite this, he finds the only bean on which his name is written: "Toto"! Success guaranteed!

"Nervous Breakdown" is one of Dominique Duvivier's bestsellers: The spectator has a free choice from among the four kings, and it is shown that this king was predicted in advance. The pitch of the trick is the same, but here the choice is not just from among four cards, but from the whole deck. Yes, the spectator chooses a card freely from among the 52 cards in the deck, and this card was clearly predicted in advance! Success guaranteed!  

This trick is a close-up classic. A handkerchief is threaded onto a length of sewing thread. This thread is stretched in front of the magician, one end is held by his foot, and the other by his hand. The silk, placed on top, slides along the thread, but inexplicably obeys the magician's orders: it falls or stops at will! Gaetan Bloom started from the classical process, and applied his "Bloom Touch", which allows you to hand the props out for examination!
