"Business Card" is one of the great classics of card magic. The pitch is as follows: The magician shows a piece of paper folded in four that he places in side view on the table: this is his prediction. A deck of cards is shuffled. The deck is ribbon spread face down on the table and a spectator places a business card where he wants it (no force). The two cards on either side of the business card are shown; the prediction is opened: both cards are written on it! A "magic" way to hand out your business card ! In this version, we do the same thing, but without the business card! To buy a “Regular Bicycle Rider Deck” click here.  

Enter the wonderful world of this expert in close-up and on gambling-related sleight-of-hand and cheating techniques (in particular: second deals, center deals, bottom deals, pass, etc.); he is Steve Forte's best student. Jason England lectured at the Double Fond on 07/11/2010, which you can enjoy in eleven parts.  

This trick is a variation of "The Mystery Card" already described on this platform. Cards are successively selected from a red-backed deck. The magician shows that in his deck, there is a special card, the "Mystery Card", which has the particularity of being the only blue-backed card. The chosen cards and the "Mystery Card" will transform, transpose and mimic each other in a diabolical ballet!

Frank Chapman's presentation of the famous "Jiffy Coin Trick": « Metamorphosis » (or the "Substitution Trunk") close-up version!

The two signed coins mysteriously change places! Success guaranteed! To buy a “Renelys Box” click here.  

The dream of every magician: to transform matter into gold! The famous “Vanishing Coin in Paper” trick revisited in the time of the alchemists.  

"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!  

This trick is a close-up classic. A handkerchief is threaded onto a length of sewing thread. This thread is stretched in front of the magician, one end is held by his foot, and the other by his hand. The silk, placed on top, slides along the thread, but inexplicably obeys the magician's orders: it falls or stops at will! Gaetan Bloom started from the classical process, and applied his "Bloom Touch", which allows you to hand the props out for examination!  

Renelys was Dominique Duvivier's first mentor when he was very young. He used to do a two card transposition and to do so, he used a stripper deck. Dominique explains two ways to do this effect, but with regular cards. To buy a “Regular Bicycle Rider Deck” click here.  

Isaac Newton has to be careful! Here, it is a pear which is used, for an effect of making a solid go through another solid... in impossible conditions! A nice tribute to the great magician Stewart James, with Gaetan’s “Bloom Touch”!  

The deck is shuffled beforehand by a spectator. A card is placed face down on the table: this is the prediction card. Three piles of cards are freely determined by the spectator. The top card of the first packet is turned over: it is, for example, a 4; the prediction card is shown: it is also a 4! And that's precisely how many spectators there are in your audience! The first cards of the two other piles are turned over: these are the two missing 4s! You have understood that if you had a different number of spectators, for example eight, you would get a four of a kind with 8s. Success guaranteed!

The deck is shuffled by a spectator. Two poker hands are determined under "laboratory conditions". However, whichever hand the spectator chooses, he will lose, because the magician will have a Royal Flush in Spades! To buy a “Regular Bicycle Rider Deck” click here.  

A second new way to make canes appear on stage (the first one is already published on this platform). This video contains professional principles: to hide the canes on oneself, to load it invisibly, to blend technique and gestures. These principles are also applicable to objects other than canes!

The magician takes out the four Kings from the deck, which he hands out for examination; he explains that these four cards are magic! Effectively, they turn successively into identical kings: Diamonds, then Hearts and Clubs... and surprise, he now has the four Aces in his hands... which instantly turn back into Kings. Finally, the faces of the cards of the rest of the deck having been shown first clearly different... all become identical! We now only have 4s of Diamonds! A festival of effects that proves that this deck really does have cards with multiple faces!

One card is freely chosen, and can even be signed. This card is visibly inserted into the middle of the deck... and mysteriously rises to the top! The effect is repeated several times, under more and more impossible conditions, ending with a quite visual and incomprehensible rise to the top! A great classic of card magic. Guaranteed effect!

The "elders" thought that magic could only be divided into 3 families of effects: appearance, disappearance, transformation. In the last century, Winston Freer revolutionized magic by identifying 17 families. Dominique Duvivier developed the concept and today, his work is based on 30 families! This trick is a magnificent "mix of genres". He presents two decks linked by a golden thread, and from there, he develops a whole routine where he invites a maximum of effects, each one as incredible as the other! A fabulous saga that will leave your audience speechless!  

This very old effect has been revisited by Gaetan Bloom. The basic "recipe" of Al Baker's trick has been enhanced with a little extra "Bloom Touch" that gives it such a special taste! A pie tin is blackened with soot. A mysterious inscription appears in this soot... it's the name of the card that has been chosen beforehand by a spectator!
