Alexander de Cova was born in 1964 in Munich, Bavaria. At age 7 he was infected by the magic bug through the usual magic kit. At age 14, he decided to become a professional magician. But it should take a couple of years for this to happen. At age 21 he debuted as a professional performer and has never since then regretted that decision.
Soon he realized the benefits of doing lectures for magicians. He started his very first lecture in Bologna at the Italian National Convention. He is still proud to have worked with Prof. Sitta.
In 1992 he won the "Magic Hands Show Competition" and after that, Richard Ross invited him to perform at the prestigious Monte Carlo Magic Festival, where he won the "Silver Magic Wand" with his SAMURAI act.
Since then he has been a regular at conventions for many years, both performing and lecturing. He has literally traveled the world and produced over 40 DVDs, mostly in German. He is well versed in almost any field of magic and has even built illusions. Quite a lot of magicians perform his creations and he has served as a magic consultant to many professional performers.
In 1998 he founded the company DECOVAMAGIC, which deals with his own exclusive inventions. As a publisher, in recent times he was busy bringing out his German magazine New Avantgarde Magic and the English Scrapbook Magazine, both of which are highly demanded by magicians all around the world.
His hobbies besides magic are music (he loves to play traditional Irish music on the Irish button box), computers and painting.
He is now living in the southern part of Germany with his wife Helena running his company and he keeps on creating magic. His favorite motto is: "Giving back to magic one SCRAPBOOK at a time."

Ringflight Modern (German)Alexander de Cova![]() Ein Konzept zum Ringflight. Ringflights gibt es viele, aber nur wenige, die so bestechend einfach und zuverlässig sind. Natürlich habe ich mir ein paar Bedingungen überlegt, die erfüllt sein sollten, wenn ich mir schon die Mühe mache, einen „neuen“ Ringflight zu ersinnen:

TNT 3Alexander de Cova![]() Signed card into envelope, using a novel method which eliminates all difficult sleight-of-hand. This concept enables you to steal and load a signed card into an envelope which has been in full view all the time. The signed card is placed into a clear box with a lid, this is placed into a larger carton box with a lid, and all is encircled with a rubber band. Still, you are able to extract the card. The load into the envelope is done in full view, and can be used without the box steal, as well. Easy to do, because the gimmicks eliminate all the difficult sleight-of-hand, but you'll have... | 2019 / 11 / 6 | $29.95 to wish list MP4 (video) | ||

California Lecture 2006Alexander de Cova![]() You will find that most of my mterial is suitable for the stand-up performer. This is due to the fact that in Europe there aren't too many opportunities to work restaurants, bars and other close-up situations. We have to deal with small stand-up shows, birthday parties, wedding parties, smaller theatres and cabarets, and the like. Naturally, if you want to survive as a performer, you will have to adapt to this situation and develop suitable material. Above all, the material must be direct and to the point, because the European audiences generally don't have too much... | 2019 / 5 / 19 | $8.00 to wish list | ||

Burners 6: Geile Tricks, die funzenAlexander de Cova![]() Jede Kunstform, in der live vor Publikum vorgeführt wird, braucht von Zeit zu Zeit wieder neue Gesichter, frische Interpretationen und Innovationen bzw. Varianten, damit die Kunstform frisch bleibt. Ich bin der Meinung, dass Zauberkunst nicht aussterben wird, solange es gute Performer gibt. Die Menschen werden noch viele Jahre gute Zauberei sehen und sich verblüffen lassen wollen. | 2019 / 5 / 9 | $60.00 to wish list | ||

Burners 2: Geile Tricks, die funzenAlexander de Cova![]() Wie man es bei meinen Publikationen gewöhnt ist, zeichnet sich mein Material durch eine gewisse "Einfachheit" aus. Ich habe schon immer großen Wert darauf gelegt, dass die Sachen in der Praxis leicht umzusetzen sind und vor allem funktionieren. Allzu komplizierte Apparate und Vorgehensweisen mag ich nicht besonders. Das Risiko der Fehlfunktion und oftmals auch bei der Vorführung damit verbundene Streß widerstrebt mir zutiefst.

Matrix OpenerAlexander de Cova![]() A clever gimmick that allows one to secretly introduce four coins singly from a deck of cards. Al Schneider's Matrix is a classic. It didn't take long for magicians to invent ways to produce the four coins from the deck. Notable contributions stem from Ray Mertz, Don England, Paul Harris, Nick Einhorn, Michael Broden and others. With this humble contribution, Alexander de Cova joins the row and offers a version to produce the coins singly from the deck in the course of an Ace cutting routine. Of course, there are many variations and handlings possible with this gimmick. Play around and find your... | 2019 / 3 / 4 | $15.00 to wish list MP4 (video) | ||
