Step Into the Enigmatic World of The Dark Room by Dominique Duvivier
Imagine a realm where magic and mystery converge into a breathtaking spectacle. Conceived by the legendary Dominique Duvivier, The Dark Room redefines the boundaries of traditional magic tricks. In this captivating routine, Duvivier plunges into the depths of his dark room—his jacket pocket—to perform illusions that baffle and amaze.
A Classic Reimagined
Dominique Duvivier, a maestro in the art of magic, brings forth a novel rendition of a timeless classic. His new routine is not just a performance; it’s an odyssey into the heart of magic itself. By integrating the concept of a dark room, akin to the traditional darkroom for developing photos, Duvivier crafts a narrative that enchants the audience with every motion.
His ingenious use of safety pins, welded for seamless handling, exemplifies his commitment to perfection. Duvivier’s meticulous selection of materials and continuous refinement of techniques ensure that each performance is unparalleled.

A great classic revisited by Dominique Duvivier
Answers from Dominique Duvivier to questions about his routine:
Q: “How did you come to create your routine “Dark Room? What brought you to this concept? Can you tell us the story of your thinking and the trick that came out of it?”
A: For many years, I manipulated the pins by studying the different routines already created (Jerry Andrus, Garcia, Slydini, Bloom…), without ever being satisfied with what I was giving with these small objects that always fascinated me. The idea of the “Linking Rings” that doesn’t make any noise, no doubt! Lol.
In fact, it is especially with the technical level that I thought it was possible to go further than the existing solutions. The size of the pins, the possibility of hiding them, of adding to them, of substituting one for the other: it seemed to me these were a favourable playground for exploring new horizons!
So I started by soaking up what had already been created on the subject in order to build up a “visual heritage”, if I may say so.
(…)
For my new routine Dark Room, I went with the idea of exploiting the concept of the jacket pocket (a real bottomless well, which opened up so many possibilities for me!). To justify the principle of going into the pocket, I imagined a scenario around the concept of “Dark Room”, like the time when one could only develop photos in the dark: I plunge my pins into a dark room, symbolized by my pocket, and things happen. Hop, I had my basis to go much further!
(…)
After having found a good technical potential to make the trick evolve, I asked myself the question: what could be better? That’s how I came up with the idea to weld my pins to handle them for examination!
(…)
Q:”Will the pins be big enough to be seen by the audience?”
A: Yes, the pins are the right size (by the way, it took me a long time to find the right supplier) and they should be able to fool an audience placed at a reasonable distance from the magician. Finally, if you want to perform in a stadium, it won’t fit, just know it! (…)
Q:”Is it a reissue, or is it new material? (new finishes, etc…)
A: It is both a reissue and at the same time new material. I got a slightly larger model this time than the previous one and the welded pins are even better than before. Also I have “remastered” my routine (as always) and I think those who had the old version will appreciate the new one.
