Step into the wonderful world of this great magician. Ray Kosby lectured at the Double Fond on May 22, 1997 (unfortunately, the ending is missing here). You can enjoy his magic in seven parts. You’re about to discover a fabulous artist who will share with you mainly his card secrets (including his famous one-handed version of the “Ambitious Card”!), but also a trick with an apple that changes color, a can of Coke that closes itself after being opened, a coin trick… True artistry!  

After shuffling the deck himself, a spectator chooses a card under laboratory conditions. Despite these strict conditions, the magician finds the card, and everything is handed out for examination! To buy a regular deck of cards click here.  

Two cards are selected and lost in the deck under laboratory conditions. Despite these strict conditions, the magician finds both cards, and everything is handed out for examination! To buy a regular deck of cards click here.  

A technique that you have to practice in order to produce aces and create many other effects during complete routines.  

In the magician's arsenal, it is very practical to be able to "force" a spectator to take the card you want. Here is one possibility!  

Another technique that will allow you to conceal a card while counting them. You can show four red backs, while a blue back is hidden!  

Something to have at your fingertips! This technique of Arturo Di Ascanio is an indispensable part of the magician's knowledge. Here is the principle: you show four red cards and, when you want, you can make a black card appear!  

A must. This very versatile technique will allow you to create your own effects. It allows you to show eight cards when you only have four.  

An IN-DIS-PEN-SA-BLE technique. In a normal deck of cards, one card is chosen and then lost. Yet you manage to control it to the top of the deck!  

“Princess Card Trick” is one of the greatest classics of mentalism with cards: a card is thought of in a small packet of cards—no forcing! Without any indication from the spectator, the magician makes the card disappear! This version uses only a regular deck of cards! A true miracle. To buy a regular deck of cards click here.  

Basically, “Hand Mucking” is a gambler's technique for secretly exchanging one or more cards during a card game. Applied to card magic, these techniques allow you to magically transform one card (or several) into another (or several others). This version allows you to secretly exchange four cards for four others. To buy a regular deck of cards click here.  

Dominique Duvivier performs one of Eddy Taytelbaum wonders (no explanation). The card box manufactured by Taytelbaum! You can not only transform one card into another, but also make it appear or disappear… or even force it! A real gem!  

Dominique Duvivier demonstrates a new Eddy Taytelbaum wonder (no explanation). A little Chinese magician finds the card chosen by a spectator in a completely unpredictable way.  

Three spectators each freely choose a card. Using his Joker, the magician reveals the three cards one by one in a playful manner. This is followed by a series of transformations in which all three cards turn into Jokers, and then back into themselves. Everything is handed out for examination at the end of the trick! Brilliant!

The magician displays two decks of cards. Two cards are chosen under laboratory conditions, one from each deck; one of the cards is even thought of! The cards will mysteriously travel from one deck to the other without the slightest touch! A true miracle! To buy: - a regular red deck click here. - a regular blue deck click here.
