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.  

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.  

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.  

A very strong impromptu trick with everyday objects. A spectator draws a simple geometric shape on a sugar cube with a pencil. The sugar is placed into a glass of water, the spectator's hand is placed over the opening of the glass. As the sugar dissolves in the water, the "emanation" of the inscription will rise into the spectator’s palm, and he will be amazed when he discovers that the inscription is now reproduced on his own hand!  

A card is chosen, signed, and lost in the center of the deck. The deck, whose faces and backs of the cards have been clearly shown, is put back into its case, which represents a washing machine! And indeed, when the deck is taken out of its case, the cards are now blank on both sides, except for the chosen and signed card, which is still printed!  

Jean-Pierre Crispon describes a succession of coin vanishes with sleeving. You are passionate about coin magic? Yes, and so much the better, because there is a lot of work for you! You will discover many secret moves, a new way of approaching the art of sleeving, as well as false counts with coins. This routine will give the impression that your coins sometimes become invisible... an incredible illusion!  

The principle: the people present have a freewheeling discussion on Mentalism. Today, three protagonists: Philippe de Perthuis, Alexandra and Dominique Duvivier. This videocast takes the form of an interview with Philippe de Perthuis, who specializes in this field.  

"Sleeve Aces" routine is done slowly and gently. This routine follows Dominique Duvivier's philosophy of not seeing, not feeling, not assuming, to achieve an even purer effect. Many concepts of misdirection are discussed and explained in detail: Pinky Count, motivation of actions, lead time, contextualization of the effect. Gary Kurtz' and Darwin Ortiz' concepts in the service of a powerful routine!  

Five spectators each choose a brown paper bag under extreme laboratory conditions. The sixth and last bag is for the magician. Each bag contains a surprise gift: the spectators receive various trinkets: candies, some toilet paper, a paper napkin, etc... But in the magician’s bag, there are... lots of banknotes! A great classic revisited by Gaetan Bloom. Even if you know the previous versions, you will be fooled! Gaetan gives you the instructions to make the trick by yourself, or you can buy it in our Mayette magic store: https://mayette.com/en/salon-et-scene/2280-july-14  

A great classic of close-up magic. How to give the illusion of swallowing a knife! Easy to do, but very deceptive.  

A succession of predictions with a shuffled deck of alphabet cards. A perfect effect for a finale.  

Dominique Duvivier's version of this great close-up classic. You present a beautiful cup, a small glass, a scarf and a small red ball. With all this you will be able to perform a succession of small miracles: the ball will disappear, reappear, travel... and at the end, you make a big ball appear! And the icing on the cake, what just happened is impossible, because the cup is now a solid block, and the ball is now "heavy"!  

This video is the live performance of this trick already published on Double Fond TV. A trick that can even be done over the phone, where everyone understands except the spectator… It's great!  

The chosen card, lost in the deck, ends up in the magician's pocket which was empty. Then the whole deck is teleported into his pocket. Each time, it is the spectator who goes into the pocket, to see that it is empty at the beginning, then goes to look for his own card in the middle of the trick, and the rest of the deck at the end! Ideal in all conditions: close-up, cocktail, parlour and stage!  

Teleportation is moving instantly from one place to another. Ubiquity is being in two places at the same time. Dominique Duvivier proposes here a "ubiquitous teleportation" trip! The coin signed by the spectator will travel successively into different pockets of his jacket, in an almost instantaneous way! Impact guaranteed!
