The magician shows two decks of cards in their cases: one red and one blue. The blue deck is taken out, the cards are shuffled, a card is chosen and lost in the deck by a spectator in extreme laboratory conditions. The red case is opened, it contains only a piece of paper folded in four, which is unfolded: it has "12" written on it. The spectator counts the cards from the top of the deck: the 12th card is his!

Two red kings sandwich a freely chosen card. The card dematerializes in the magician’s fingers then reappears face up in the face down deck. A killer!  

This video is the live version of "3 Queens Elmsley Duvivier" already published on Double Fond TV. 5 cards are placed clearly in the shirt pocket at the beginning of the trick. 2 cards are freely chosen, and lost in the deck, which is placed on the table. The magician takes the 5 cards, fans them, and turns the two cards at the ends face up, as well as the one in the center: 3 queens are then revealed; the most extraordinary thing is that the 2 face down cards sandwiched between the 3 queens are the 2 chosen cards!  

The magician shows a blue deck and sets it aside : this is the prediction deck. He now displays a red deck, shows that the cards are all different, and a spectator FREELY choose one card. He then takes the blue deck out of its case, and ribbon spreads it on the table: there is a red-backed card among the blue-backed cards... and that card is the same as the chosen card !

As a passionate magic fan, have you been longing for a new "Bloomerie"? Here's your reward for waiting! Gaëtan offers you here the pocket version of a theatrical card trick called "Attaboy", invented by Jack Hugues. In this trick, there was a kind of little cardboard bellboy who held a box in his hands and had another one at his feet. The magician would put all the cards in the bottom box and then put them, one by one, in the top box. When the spectator said "stop", the card on which the magician stopped would match the prediction. Thanks to the creative genius of Gaëtan Bloom, there is no more need for this very clever but very bulky device! It's brilliant, we love it! We are always fascinated by Gaëtan's universe and it's a great honor to be able to share his knowledge with you. Have a great time!  

A card is freely chosen, lost in the deck; the deck is enclosed in its case. A silk is handed for examination, and placed on top of the case. Despite these laboratory conditions, the chosen card will disappear from the deck and end up in the folds of the silk!  

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.  

The mentalist asks a spectator to project his thoughts into the magician's head. The experiment takes place in three steps: first he guesses the letter that the spectator "sends" him, then a two digit number, and finally the card he has chosen. And the icing on the cake is that the magician shows that the card was predicted in advance! A very personal application of Viktor Vincent's double reality principle.  

The first version of this trick was described on this platform as "Double Open Prediction with Double Prediction". The version described here is the "ultimate" version in that the deck is handed out for examination at the end! Based on a routine by Gaetan Bloom, here is Dominique Duvivier's version which combines Prediction and Open Prediction, this last effect being performed in double! An absolute killer!

The deck is shuffled copiously by the spectator, and then he chooses a card under crazy conditions. However, this card is the mate of the one chosen by the magician (under the same laboratory conditions). And to top it off, it was even predicted in advance by the magician! A real punchy trick !  

The spectator determines five cards under extreme laboratory conditions, after shuffling the cards by himself. He adds up the values of the cards. For example, if he has a 10, a 6, a 3, a 5 and an 8, the total is 32. However, the magician had emptied his pockets at the beginning of the trick, and had therefore placed some coins aside on the table. We add up the values of the coins, there are 32 cents... the same total as for the cards!  

The magician explains that each card of a deck has a particular relationship with another card of the deck; this relationship is not just anyone, it is the one that links the twin cards; for example, the 2 of Hearts is linked with the 2 of Diamonds; the 9 of Spades with the 9 of Clubs, etc... A card is chosen by a spectator and is isolated in the case, previously shown empty. A second card is pointed out by the spectator in a very clear way. The two cards are compared: they are the twin cards!  

"Nervous Breakdown" is one of Dominique Duvivier's bestsellers: The spectator has a free choice from among the four kings, and it is shown that this king was predicted in advance. The pitch of the trick is the same, but here the choice is not just from among four cards, but from the whole deck. Yes, the spectator chooses a card freely from among the 52 cards in the deck, and this card was clearly predicted in advance! Success guaranteed!  

A new "killer" version on the theme of "Nervous Breakdown". The magician ribbon spreads a red-backed deck face down on the table. A spectator FREELY chooses one of the cards, which is set aside. Then a second spectator FREELY THINKS about a card, which is taken from a blue-backed deck. The red card is turned over: it is the card thought of by the second spectator! Success guaranteed!
