The image of a playing card printed on the magician's business card materializes into the card freely chosen and signed by a spectator. A very commercial finale for an "Ambitious Card" routine. A subtle way to hand out your business card.  

Dai Vernon, “The Professor”, said “We stop thinking too soon!”. This trick is a living illustration of that. The beginning is like the original "Impossible Choice" effect: The spectator shuffles the deck, takes a card, loses it himself in the deck, and immediately shuffles the deck. He performs all of these actions while the magician has his back turned. Despite these extreme laboratory conditions, in this version, not only does the magician guess the chosen card, but in addition, he makes it disappear from the deck, and finds it in a wallet that has been placed on the table for all to see from the beginning! Easy to do.  

The magician displays the two red Kings from the deck and explains that they are "Ghost Cards". He will prove it in various ways during the routine since one of the Kings will "disintegrate", the chosen cards will transform, materialize, dematerialize... A maelstrom of effects that will make your spectators dizzy, all this with a regular deck that can be borrowed!  

The "exact" protocol of the "Collector" principle as taught to Dominique by Derek Dingle is scrupulously respected here, namely: - The four Aces are placed face up aside at the beginning of the trick. - Three cards are chosen, and are lost in the deck. - The four Aces are put on top off the deck. - And without shuffling or any other manipulation, the Aces "collect" the chosen cards, i.e. they are found face down in between the four face up aces! This version conceived by Dominique Duvivier is a real miracle!  

A succession of flash effects with only 2 cards! Back and face color changes, transformations, duplication... a quick but intense routine with a minimum of props.  

A great classic of card magic... An extremely effective trick, which requires a minimum of sleight of hand. The back of a freely chosen card changes color... and its face turns into the card chosen by another spectator. A real miracle!  

An "exponential" coin routine, with one, then two, then four... and finally 16 (yes, you read that right, 16) coins, which will in turn appear, disappear, merge into each other, teleport, travel across the table... A routine full of effects for maximum impact !  

Three chosen cards travel successively, magically and invisibly between the two red kings, which are however well separated from the deck from the beginning. A last card chosen by a fourth spectator disappears from the deck, and ends up in the magician's pocket. The deck is handed out for examination. Success guaranteed!  

The magician tries to find the spectator's card by analyzing his expressions. The spectator gloats when he realizes that the magician is wrong. But that was without counting the final turn of events! This highly interactive routine is used by Paul Gertner to put skeptical audiences in their place when they try to corner the magician. Very useful, isn't it? Not to mention that the routine is easy to do. It's all good stuff!  

A variation for experts on the Matrix effect, one of the favorite themes of coin magicians. Four coins placed under four cards disappear one by one... and instantly reappear in a row on the mat. The final effect is stunning!  

Dominique Duvivier invites you to a journey back in time. He explains that he has developed a prototype with small objects (i.e. his deck of cards), and that it is up to others to develop the concept to human size! A card is chosen, and lost in "extreme" laboratory conditions. Despite this, it will "go back in time" twice... This quasi-mystical experience will end with an astounding climax.  

This trick is a variation of "Chicago Opener" by Frank Garcia. Dominique Duvivier described it in his first book in 1974, and elsewhere on this platform. In this version, the first card is freely thought by the spectator. Success guaranteed!  

A great classic of our Art. The tricks that take place in the spectator's hand always have a strong impact. The spectator closes his hand into a fist. The magician does the same; then he passes the flame of a lighter under his closed hand... and shows that a burn mark has appeared in his palm. By a magical sympathy effect, when the spectator opens his hand, what a surprise when he will see that inside it, there is the same mark! An impromptu trick that is sure to impress your audience.  

Four coins magically travel one by one through the table, despite the fact that they are isolated inside a glass. This is one of the most beautiful routines of "Coins Through the Table", and it is very easy to do. As you perform it, you will have a lot of fun and success.  

The plot of "Coins through the Table" is one of the great families of effects in coin magic. Dominique Duvivier offers you his personal version to perform this wonderful routine.  

One of the magicians' favorite themes. You put four coins under four cards in the four corners of your magic mat. In a totally incomprehensible way, the coins gather one by one in one of the corners. It's great!
