Dominique Duvivier's presentation of the famous Puzzle trick, in which a piece is added several times, and the puzzle is always the same size each time. In this version, the puzzle is placed in a template which proves that the dimensions have remained the same. And everything is handed out for examination at the end!  

This wonderful routine will prove that like Lucky Luke, the magician can be faster than his own shadow! Several cards are successively teleported at the speed of light from the deck into his card holder. And the ultimate journey: the card that was freely chosen and signed ends up in the card holder at the end of the trick. Success guaranteed!  

Howard Hamburg is a magical legend. Known to be particularly secretive, yet he now shares more than 60 years of magical experience with you. He experienced the golden age of the Magic Castle in Hollywood and was a personal friend of Dai Vernon and Charlie Miller, and now shares many fascinating anecdotes with you. As if you were there! In this episode, he tells you about the time Dai Vernon is supposed to have missed his trick, and against all odds, he succeeded! “I never miss!”  

Dominique Duvivier offers a "light" version of the "Coins in Glass / Duvivier Coin Box" routine. Four coins are enclosed in a small metal box. A first coin travels invisibly into his hand, then all the coins go through the table together. The climax is incredible: to prove the impossibility of everything that has just happened, the magician shows that the box is in fact a solid block, and that it could never have contained anything!

Card technique: This false shuffle allows the deck to appear to be perfectly shuffled, while the cards remain in the same order at the beginning and at the end. This false shuffle is extremely convincing. Dominique Duvivier gives an application of this false shuffle: it is a "Triumph" where the cards are shuffled face up, face down, and at the end, all the cards magically come back face down except for the previously chosen card which is the only face up card.  

Card technique: Another of Dominique Duvivier's methods for twirling a double card in the air, removing any suspicion of cheating. This method is extremely effective!  

The principle: a picture of a magician is shown, and the people present have a freewheeling discussion about what it evokes in them. Today, three protagonists: Gaetan Bloom, Alexandra and Dominique Duvivier, who share their memories, anecdotes and real-life stories about these great figures of magic. The pictures of the day: Dai Vernon, Howard Schwarzman, Walter Zaney Blaney and Gaetan Bloom. Not to be missed under any circumstances!  

Card technique: To give the illusion that the deck is shuffled with an overhand shuffle, but it remains in its starting order. Very convincing!  

I have been looking for a long time for a method to achieve this atypical effect. A card is freely chosen, put back into the deck. The deck is put on the strings of the racket. The whole thing is covered with a transparent cover. We "sift"...and the cards seem to all, progressively go through the string mesh... all except one, and it is the right one! A trick highly regarded by "The Jerx", the king of underground magic.  

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.  

A card is freely chosen by a spectator; it splits into two, then into three, and finally we obtain a four of a kind in Aces... which instantly melts together into a single card, the one chosen by the spectator at the beginning! The four Aces are now face up in the middle of the face down deck! A wonderful and unexpected effect! This trick is a variation of "Toulagli", already described previously on this streaming platform.  

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!  

The magician places in a row on the table the Ace of Spades, followed by the 2, 3 and 4 of the same suit. Three red cards are shown, and placed on top of the Ace of Spades; the latter mysteriously rises to the top of the packet, as if it used a magic elevator! The effect is repeated with the 2, then the 3 of Spades. But the 4 doesn't want to go up? In fact, it is his companions who have joined him: instead of the 4 of Spades and three red cards, the packet is now made up of the four Spades!  

It's one of my signature tricks, ever since its creation. After I performed it in a lecture for Michael Close when it was first created, he said to me: "When I saw the trick, I thought either this is going to be a big mistake at the end, or I'm going to get a big headache!” And he kindly admitted to me that he got a big headache... One of those tricks where the explanation is almost more beautiful than the effect... 5 minutes of happiness, where everything or almost everything is self-working, with a huge amount of public participation. Really a killer.  

Card technique: How to cut the deck with one hand giving the appearance of enormous dexterity, when this sleight of hand is actually rather easy to perform.  

Card technique: Dominique Duvivier shares with you a technique he created in 1998 to switch one deck of cards for another.
