CIB - BICYCLE

Dominique Duvivier's new Bicycle sensation!

The trick is done with a Bicycle Rider Back deck (Poker format)

Seen on TV !

Baffled Penn & Teller in their famous TV show "Fool Us".

(2nd video below)

Incredible possibilities:

Imagine: The deck is shuffled back and forth by the magician AND the spectator.

Then all the cards come back in the same direction, except for a few... which will allow you incredible revelations:

- You can predict cards,

- or find the four aces,

- and find the cards that you have freely chosen!

Included are:

- 2 Bicycle Rider Back decks of cards,

- A cloth bag,

- Instructions, with several applications,

- including a method by Christian Engblom,

- Tips and Bonus.

Highlights:

- A revolutionary concept,

- A secret jealously guarded for over 40 years.

- Very easy to do.

What they think:

For the record, Dominique had given me the trick at the Double Fond years ago.

Seeing Alexandra do the trick, it all came back to me at once...

So, by the way, congratulations to the Queen, because holding a conversation, hands down, while remaining charming, in front of the beloved Penentélés, is not at all easy...

At the time, with Dominique, I didn't really understand the trick; I had doubts and glimmers, but plenty of uncertain areas...

When the trick came out, Dominique offered me the deck (it was my birthday recently!!!)... and really, I fell on my knees a little bit, right away...

First of all, the cards are really well made. But the real trick, the real idea D.D., is the use of the other deck... so easy in fact, but you should have thought about it !

And yes, it opens a lot of doors to other routines, where the spectator can shuffle everything in all directions (or not), but where he can't make anything go wrong by a bad manipulation...

So bag, or not bag???

My hero Winston Freer used to say that visual magic is the most obvious, but that there is often more mystery in the hidden... This is also obvious in the master Hitchcock, who hides a lot of things instead of showing them.

So how to justify the bag?

And why have to fiddle with it...

And why have to do it blindly...

And why create this Chaos?

It is these questions that can sculpt an interesting presentation where the bag will be justified, and interesting, if the blanks of the questions are filled in...

Dominique doesn't need it, he has his "Touch" (and his successful prediction made beforehand, which borders on the surreal) and his humor...

Me too, but differently.

So I'll say a story like:

"Actually, not many people know this, but cards are more than just a single deck of cards. For some people, probably crazy people, they represent the world...

I knew one who could practice for hours, every day, after shuffling the cards back and forth, so that just by touching them, he could tell the faces from the backs... and put the deck back in order.

Try it... take some cards... shuffle them back and forth, put the packet in front of you and one by one, turn them over when needed to find them all face up... it takes time, doesn't it?

But the guy I knew, he was told that when you loose one of your senses, you develop the others... so he practiced for years in the dark, to refine his tactile sense... and he spent his days doing that... sitting cross-legged, in his dark room, finding the meaning of the cards...

Here, shuffle the cards back and forth, well your little packet; and then close your eyes... and try to turn the feeling, the cards all in the same direction...

(He tries... he fails of course!)

Yes, the guy was crazy, but he wanted to teach me... I tried... I'm getting there a little...

He also said that a deck, if you add up the points of the cards, there are 365... and a joker for leap years...

That there were 52 weeks in the year, and 52 cards.

That there were 13 lunar months and 13 cards per family.

That there were 12 cards with figure, and 12 months in the year.

And 4 families, and 4 seasons,

And 2 colors ... red and black, like day and night ...

And that the world has become a joyful mess... a strange chaos, people lost in all directions, wandering, back to back, without unison, without union...

He also had a small paper that he gave me... asking me not to open it until later... when "The Moment would have come"...

So, we're going to make chaos...

And one or more spectators put their hand to the dough...

And there are some in every direction ....

We go to put a blindfold... but no, you will think that I see through! It's my hands that shouldn't see!

So you put your hands in the bag, and finish the trick.

In the end, you almost got all the cards out of the chaos...

Not bad... Right? But still not perfect.

Maybe it's time to see what he left me, on paper... And it reads:

"In the current mood of chaos, there will be two spades, and two hearts, and two clubs, and no one on the Diamonds, and we'll be exactly there!!!"

And then we take out the cards that are not in the correct direction, and there are two spades, and two hearts, and two clubs, and no Diamonds... and the cards will form the exact date of the day: 22/11/18... No more no less!"

Just a word before the end...

The story of the blind cheat is quite true, and I knew him... his name was Jose Luis Moreno, and he made perfect faros, without nesting, by practicing for months and years in the dark... he knew, by ear, if the shuffle was perfect, or not! He did many other wonders... but that's another story !

I swear, ladies and gentlemen, there's a lot of great material in this CIB, and let your ideas flow...

Alex and Dominique have given us a great gift... let's take advantage of it, and blow them our miracles...

Gaëtan Bloom

"The phenomenal Dominique Duvivier showed me the C.I.B. for the first time in 2002 in Madrid. I was more than baffled! The truth is that the impossibility of this miracle had haunted me for years. I had no idea what the secret was. It was MAGIC. And it is MAGIC!"

Christian Engblom

"The fantastic C.I.B. trick is a diabolical new "classic" from the mind of Dominique Duvivier. The routine is complete. It is practical, everything is included. It's easy to do and will baffle everyone... including Penn & Teller. Perhaps the best part of the trick is its unusual plot that belongs in any show. You will be using this masterpiece for all the years to come."

Bob Kohler

"It is extremely rare that a new effect is created and it is equally rare that a new method appears. The C.I.B. trick combines that. It is not only a fantastic and ingenious new effect, but also an incredibly clever and original method. This miracle is one of the great things to come out of the last twenty years.

Bill Kalush

"Duvivier has put in your hands not only a fantastic "Triumph" effect, but also a powerful weapon that is sure to strengthen many of your existing routines."

Dani DaOrtiz

As for CIB, it's a Russian doll: the more you unbend, the crazier you get!

- First we are faced with a quality packaging with an original format

- Then we find ourselves with a complete kit

- Then we discover that the system is diabolical

- Then we understand the universality of the kit

- Then we realize that it is a real simplicity of hand

Bravo for this jewel and thank you for making it available to amateurs or professionals who will be able to shine in front of amazed spectators.

Emmanuel

The Triumph concept pushed to perfection! I am baffled, it is just an atomic bomb! I'm still on my ass because it's so beautiful. Respects D. Dominique for this find, really !

Duduv-54

You'll have to explain to me how every time the Duviviers release an effect, I always fall under the spell ... what's in it? A kind of underground super drug too? :P I can't wait to get the effect, while waiting for one of the next Made In May.Mag.Mod jewels (the Duvivier Wallet? I don't know what you're talking about, but ...)

Florian Chapron

Want to say all the good things I think of CIB. Intelligent and terribly effective in its scripting. Well done.

Gérard Bakner

So...this is mean ! A pure slaughter. The concept of the Triumph pushed to perfection. Superb! Thank you for sharing and respect Dominique for the 40 years old find but with a timeless impact. I love it ! Magical friendships.
