Bebel / Vallarino: Inspiration (Volumes 1 - 2)

Bebel / Vallarino: Inspiration Volume 1

The Trick of the 4 Kings
Bebel opens with Marlo's classic version using the KM move, then Vallarino comes out with a more visual version eliminating the KM moves. Finally, they brainstorm on how to make the version even cleaner than the original by removing useless techniques.

A, 2, 3 and 4 of Spades
This is the classic card to pocket effect. No duplicate are used. You place the ace in your lepel pocket, the 2 in your left jacket pocket, the 3 in the right jacket pocket and the 4 in your trouser's pocket. Then, you have 4 kings in your hand. In a handshake, the A, 2, 3 and 4 are in your hand, while the 4 kings are in each pocket.

Mabillon
In this routine, Bebel performs a routine using 4 aces only. This is a very impromptu performance that can be done at any time using only 4 cards. Then, more aces are added one by one in this small pack of 4 aces, but in the end, you only, always, have 4 cards in hand.

The Nameless trick
In this trick, Vallarino have 3 spectators hold the deck and pick a card. Each one of these cards are lost in the deck in the way that looks impossible to find, because the spectator replace the card themselves in the deck.

Bebel / Vallarino: Inspiration Volume 2

Mexican 3 Card Monte
Bebel shows and explains his version of the 3 Card Monte. This routine is explained into its inner details. Not only the techniques are explained, but each and every move is motivated to make it fluid, magical and flawless. Jean-Pierre Vallarino describes a move from Marlo that is fairly unknown, yet that can be integrated into a 3 Card Monte routine

Card Control and Switches
This chapter is dedicated to a technique that was originally used to control a card, and that has been transformed to become a visual card switch. Jean-Pierre Vallarino used this technique in his FISM act. Ultimately, you will be able to transform 4 random cards into 4 aces, but also being able to control the selected card as the spectator shuffle the deck. Very visual and practical !

Then, Bebel shows his card switch on the table, allowing you to place any card on the table and transform it into any other card, whether you want to do it face up or face down.

Bluff Pass
Both Jean-Pierre Vallarino and Bebel use the bluff pass to perform a sandwich effect: You place two jokers on the table. A spectator selects a card, and with any move of any kind, the selected card is sandwiched between the jokers. In his version, Bebel uses a deck with a different back to perform a similar effect.

Ace Leader (performance only)
Ace leader is Bebel and Vallarino's take on the Mc Donald Aces routine, in order to make it simple and direct. Once again, this is very visual and as clean as this routine can be.
