John Bannon lectured at Le Double Fond on October 23, 2023. It was an unprecedented encounter with a great artist who gave us the best of his art. The Ace of Spades from a deck of cards is placed under a stem glass, and the Queen of Diamonds on top. The two cards are about to change places! Superb! To buy a regular deck of cards click here.  

The “Invisible Deck” is one of the strongest effects of card magic. JeanLuc Bertrand offers you a version with a regular deck, which you can hand out for examination! A real killer! To buy an ordinary deck of cards click here.  

The spectator's chosen card disappears... and when he gets up from his chair, he realizes that he was sitting on it! The effect is immediately repeated! A third time?... but this time, all 51 other cards disappear, and the spectator was still sitting on them! One last time? But this time, the chosen card is folded between the watch and the spectator's wrist! To buy an ordinary deck of cards click here.  

A card chosen at random is found among four cards, then disappears and finally reappears upside down in the deck! To buy an ordinary deck of cards click here.  

Peter Din is a specialist in magic for kids. In this interview (in several parts), he answers the question: Why magic for kids? More than that, he explains the “how”, and his vision of this particular type of show. Peter Din presents the “Six Cards Repeat” trick... with teddy bears! This routine is completely suitable for children, even the very young (aged 4 and over).  

A spectator signs the card he has chosen; the card disappears... and the magician says it is in his glass of water. But the spectator doesn't see it; then the magician pours the water from the glass onto the table; the tablecloth becomes transparent... and the signed card appears underneath!

Tsunami: Japanese word that means "tidal wave". It is a trick that will devastate the brains of your audience, whether they are laymen or magicians. This variation is based on a Bob Hummer principle. This routine is a completely atypical Tsunami, as there are no chosen cards, but this time the cards are shuffled completely randomly, face-up, face-down, and yet, as the deck is cut into two parts, there are the same number of face-up cards in each!

The spectator shuffles the deck. The magician draws a card at random. The spectator freely names a card... and it's the card that had been set aside! A true miracle!! To buy a regular deck of cards click here.  

The spectator chooses a card, which is lost in the deck. A magic pass, and a card mysteriously turns up face up in the center of the deck; but against all odds, it is not the one chosen by the spectator: it is the 5 of Hearts. The magician then counts the cards one by one from the 5, and the fifth one turns out to be... the chosen card. The four cards that were counted to get to the 5 of Hearts are turned face up... they're the four Aces! And as the icing on the cake, the magician shows that he couldn't have done it any other way, since the other cards in the deck are shown: they're all blank! A completely automatic trick, but devilishly effective! To buy: - a regular deck of cards click here. - a blank face deck of cards click here.  

Card technique: how to secretly fold a card into quarters. This versatile card fold is used in a variety of card tricks, particularly those where a signed playing card ends up in an impossible location such as "Card to Mouth", the various “Mystery Boxes”...

The spectator chooses a card from a shuffled deck. The magician draws two cards from the deck: one represents the value of the chosen card, and the other its suit! John Bannon developed the trick based on a Rick Aviles principle, and Dominique Duvivier shares another one of his personal versions, with which you will repeat the effect a second time in a row!

This trick is a kind of “testimony” to the evolution of magic in the context of the revelation of a chosen card; we move from ancient Egypt to the Middle Ages... to the present day! To buy a regular deck of cards click here.
