At the 4F convention last month Alexandra Duvivier performed close-up, did a teach-a-trick, and an Ed Talk about her father’s seminal magic trick Printing.
She also performed the next day at MAWNY and manned a booth at the dealer’s room. At the end of the convention, I bought everything she had left at the booth, as you can see in this picture.
The Penguin lecture is a download and comes with a scratch-off that reveals the password. If you let me know in advance, I can get you the link before mailing you the card. These will also ship for free worldwide.
The other two items she was demonstrating and selling at the booth were the devious D. Deck and the latest version of Printing.
►Alexandra Duvivier Penguin Live Lecture:
Alexandra Duvivier has been the winner of the Mandrake d’Or in France and the first French female magician to fool Penn and Teller on their “Fool Us” TV show.
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.
Routines taught in the lecture include: Splash, Sweets, Transmitter, Sense of Touch, Transcendental Force, Impromptu Wild Card, and Amelie Poulain.

►Printing:
The basic routine has you display four blue backed Tens (Clubs, Hearts, Spades and Diamonds) and four blue backed blank cards. One of the blank cards touches one of the 10s and prints an identical Ten on itself! From that moment on, a succession of effects start occurring: one card takes the color of your close up mat, another one will lose its blue back, a third one will have a Ten printed on both sides, etc. You are going to magically print all the cards in a totally surrealistic way! Everything is examinable at the end.

►D. Deck:
A very unique deck of gaffed cards was printed by the United States Playing Card Company to make this trick possible.
You think of a card and your spectator freely thinks of one. Both cards are removed from the deck. Amazingly when the rest of the deck is spread on the table all the other cards are seen to be blank. With the two thought-of cards being the only ones that are visible.
As a kicker ending a single card is then shown to have all the other cards printed on it.

I decided to continue the introductory sale prices on all of Dan Garrett’s magic until I am able to offer you many more of his tricks, books, and lecture notes.

►BACK IN STOCK:
Picked up some more of Ted Bogusta’s Organic Coin Wash which quickly sold-out a few months ago and got a supply of his next release which is an updated version of a popular coin club product. Will have to learn it and make a trailer for it, so you should expect it in around two weeks.
►Organic Coin Wash:
This is a unique coin routine using gimmicked coins and some simple handling.
The basic routine revolves around three US Quarters which one at a time change into Brass washers with holes in them.
Comes complete with all necessary coins and access to online video tutorials.

►OUR LATEST RELEASE:
►Traits & Emotions:
This routine begins with having your friend think of any person that they know something about. It could be a friend, a relative, an acquaintance or someone famous.
You then show them ten cards which have a list of 100 different human characteristics. You have them find a characteristic that reminds them of the person they are thinking of.
After a little byplay you will know the word they are thinking of, and you can reveal it anyway you like.
