Prize-winning at the FISM World Magic Championships, the Kiss Act is a unique card magic act combining poetry and emotion.

A new way to make canes appear on stage. This video contains professional principles: to hide the canes on oneself, to perform an invisible charge, to blend technique and gestures. These principles are also applicable to objects other than canes!  

An interlude of parlour and stage magic. This is one of my favorite visual magic sequences. A candle appears and disappears twice with great naturalness and simplicity. The second time this candle turns into a clown's nose. Natural Tenkai palm, misdirection and timing theory explained in great detail with wise comments by Dominique Duvivier.  

One of my most famous tricks, invented almost by chance during a memorable magical night spent at Juan Tamariz's house... I was looking for a mirror for a mentalism trick. I asked Juan, who said, "Look in that drawer! "and there I found something that immediately put me on the track... In the early hours of the morning, I had found almost every possible move... You have a very visual effect and a whole pile of possibilities!  

When I was a teenager, the Mayette boutique sold a trick called "Céperlé": colored beads, shuffled in glasses, were magically separated by color. It was magical!

I pushed the idea a bit further with everyday objects: a drink and ice cubes!

You shuffle the ice cubes and the whisky (or apple juice) in two transparent cups and, with a single magic gesture, in front of everyone, you separate the cups: one ends up with all the liquid and the other with the ice cubes? Super powerful effect! Our friend Eric Antoine has even adopted the trick...  

It's a twist on an old trick with a ring and pins! I made a card trick out of it with a very visual double effect and a nod to Matt Schulien for the final ... Everything can be examined, it's poweful !  

A feat in which the magician finds a chosen card in a spectacular fashion while blindfolded from beginning to end! An effect that fooled many experts at the FFFF Convention.  

An Open Prediction effect of absolute clarity. Simply miraculous! Super clean and without any manipulation.
