Program Details:

Magic? For me it’s like a gift that I give to a dear friend. Since every spectator offers me a part of his precious time, he deserves the best from me.

In this lecture I will reveal some of my favourite tricks: cards, coins, objects and even balloons (but not as you might imagine!) and then more cards, because you love them as much as I do! I have polished each of these tricks in hundreds of shows at the DoubleFond and around the world, but also on television (notably in the show “Fool Us” with Penn &Teller). These tricks can become yours, and above all you will be able to understand the way I use them to create a bond with my audience. That’s what you’re looking for, isn’t it? How to create a special bond with each spectator, how to move them, how to capture their attention and maybe even transform them a little?

I want to share all this with you and I believe that this is why you will come (and not only because I have packed a few gifts for you; I can’t help it, but shh, it’s a secret!)

If your goal is to progress in magic and learn how to touch the audience’s heart, then we are going to get along fine.

I look forward to seeing you soon!

Please see her bio below:

One of the very few female members of the magic arts, Alexandra Duvivier has been the winner of the Mandrake d’Or in France and the first French female magician to fool Penn and Teller in their famous American television show “Fool Us”. The daughter of Dominique Duvivier, a living legend in magic, she faced a double challenge: to make a name for herself under the shadow of her illustrious father and to become a highly respected artist in the predominantly masculine world of magic.

Unlike many children who grow up with a talented and famous parent, her father didn’t push her to become a magician like himself. As a child he never showed her any tricks: it was only at the age of 15 that Alexandra decided to become, little by little, the worthy heiress of her father’s empire. She has become a favorite artist of the biggest brands for their private events (Hermes, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, L’Oréal…), has been a hand double for some of the most famous names in the cinema, she has no less than eight shows to her credit: three solo stage shows, three shows performed as a double act with her father, a children’s show and a show performed entirely in English. With her sharp humor, her pure and engaging magic, her natural empathy with both young and old, she charms and amuses her ever-increasing audiences.

Beyond her artistic talents, Alexandra Duvivier is also a trainer and a business speaker (innovative methods of communication using magic) and an instructor for the first ever diploma in magic recognized by the Ministry of Labor in France. She has just created with her father the streaming channel www.doublefond.tv to learn magic with the greatest masters.

Please join us for Alexandra’s lecture on April 28!
