Boris Wild shares his thoughts on creativity in the field of magic. He emphasizes three aspects in particular: method, effect, and a new presentation. He then goes on to discuss various complementary elements that have enabled him to develop his highly personal style of magic.  

Here is the introduction to the VHS video program “Les Etoiles de la Magie Moderne: Boris Wild” (Stars of Modern Magic: Boris Wild), recorded at Le Double Fond and published by Mayette Magie in 1997. The tricks are explained as they are published on our streaming platform.  

This is the trick where the spectator does the trick himself (in appearance, of course!).

Boris Wild also gives us several variations for revealing the chosen card! This trick is included in the VHS program “Les Etoiles de la Magie Moderne: Boris Wild” (Stars of Modern Magic: Boris Wild), published by Mayette Magie in 1997.
