Pascal's Other Wager
This is a card miracle you can perform anytime, anywhere, without a deck of cards. Nothing is written down. No gimmicks are required. No instant stooges, and no dual reality. This is an effect that simply relies on nothing more than an ordinary cellphone calculator and an Oscar-winning performance.

Psychometrus Interruptus
One of Michel's signature effects, this card revelation with a Bic lighter is an exceptionally strong piece of magic and leaves the spectator with an inexpensive souvenir to encourage tips or private bookings.

Diabolique
Aptly named, this is a truly diabolical thought of card revelation where the performer barely touches the cards with an unexpected kicker at the finish.

Estimation
Michel holds this one in reserve until that inevitable moment when someone says “I would never play cards with you” or suggests that they “head for the nearest casino.“ He then replies, “Let me show you why even my friends won’t play cards with me,” and proceeds to devastate them with a reveal of a selected card that has the patron convinced he has beaten the magician at his own game right up to the final moment.

Homage*
Michel originally set out to rework Paul Rosini's classic stunner, “Your Number — Your Card.” The result is an entertaining showpiece with a strong visual card revelation at the end. Get Michel's FREE Update - Homage Redux here (right click and choose "Save Link As").

Apocrypha
In this performance piece, Michel recreates the legendary showdown between San Francisco gamblers and Paul Rosini; who were intent on proving that Rosini was no where near as skilled with a deck of cards as everyone thought he was. The result is the discovery of a selected card under seemingly impossible conditions that will completely baffle laymen and magicians alike.
