Raphaël Czaja
(1983 - )
Born in the North of France, Raphaël became seriously interested in magic after his father read an ad of a French magic shop. A few days later, he received a catalog full of professional magic tricks and his first purchase was a Brainwave Deck. At the same period, a popular French magician Sylvain Mirouf performed card tricks almost every day on a TV show and Raphaël understood all the potential of a single deck of cards.
His favorite magicians are Aldo Colombini, Peter Duffie, Jay Sankey and Dominique Duvivier. Otherwise, he is particularly interested in magic with rubber bands and ropes. He also has a great passion for cinema and is currently writing his first full feature lenght screenplay.

Cut Cat CanRaphaël Czaja A self-working and examinable ACAAN effect with two decks. EFFECT: The magician thoroughly shuffles a deck of cards. Then, the spectator cuts the deck to split it into two piles. Only now is he asked to create a random number in his mind. After a very quick and simple procedure, he writes his number down on a Post-it note - let's say, "13". He sticks it onto the card he cut to - let's say, the King of Diamonds. From a second deck - on the table from the start - he deals the cards one by one. Amazingly, the 13th card is the King of Diamonds! Self-working. No gimmick. No extra card. Both... | 2020 / 9 / 3 | $5.00 to wish list | ||
Flip Flop FateRaphaël Czaja A very direct divination and prediction effect with two selected cards. Two spectators freely cut to two cards. Both selections are remembered and buried into the deck. The magician points to a pair of odd-backed cards (on the table from the start) before he correctly guesses the identity of each selection and to which spectator they belong to. Finally, he turns over the pair of cards: They are a perfect match. Easy to do. Instant reset. Can be performed before or after any other card trick. At the beginning, the spectators can freely shuffle and inspect the deck. Uses regular cards with... | 2020 / 7 / 5 | $2.00 to wish list | ||
Red, Hot and WildRaphaël Czaja An ungimmicked and easy-to-do double transformation with playing cards using the spectator's signature. The magician displays a red-backed Joker. "Jokers can be useful in any card game but they also have interesting properties for magicians. Let me show you how." A spectator selects and signs a card in a blue-backed deck. The magician buries the signed card and inserts the Joker into the deck. "When in contact with the deck, the Joker is able to take the identity of any selected card, including yours." He spreads the cards face down to show the red-backed Joker in the middle. The red-backed... | 2020 / 2 / 3 | $4.00 to wish list | ||
True LiesRaphaël Czaja One of the cleanest procedures imaginable at the service of a very fair impromptu prediction effect.
A spectator picks four cards from a shuffled deck and rearranges their order. (Free choices.) The magician correctly predicts if one of them matches his favorite card - on the table from the start - and its position in the packet. Impromptu. Easy to do. Instant reset. 1st edition 2019, 4 pages. | 2019 / 9 / 22 | $2.00 to wish list | ||
Over MaxRaphaël Czaja A stunning double revelation for which the spectator does (almost) all the work for you. From a shuffled deck, a spectator cuts to two cards in two different sections and loses them into that deck. Yet, the magician is able to locate both.
This version of Max Maven/Phil Goldstein's "Double Overcut" eliminates the original full-deck setup and is basically impromptu. 1st edition 2019, 2 pages. | 2019 / 8 / 20 | $0.00 to wish list | ||
Spelling ButterflyRaphaël Czaja A multi-prediction spelling effect with an unexpected climax! EFFECT: The magician introduces a stack of predictions to demonstrate the spectator and him are connected through their favorite playing card. Using a regular deck, the spectator combines the suit and the value of two selections to create a playing card only known to him. Then, he mentally spells its name as the magician deals one card for each letter. He stops him at the last letter/card which is turned face up: The 2♣. The magician spells out the 2♣ to get to another card and so on, until he runs out of cards. The face-up... | 2019 / 1 / 22 | $4.95 to wish list | ||
ToucanRaphaël Czaja As he shuffles a deck of playing cards, the magician talks about how cards and numbers have been used for centuries to predict the future and how it translates into his art. He writes down two predictions on the face of a random card and tables it face down. He grabs the deck and deals the cards two by two — top and bottom card together. At the stop of the spectator, he removes and tables the two selections.
Then, he reveals what he wrote on the prediction card: "27" and "35". The spectator combines the value of one selection (eg: 5 of Clubs) with the suit of the other one (eg: Queen of... | 2018 / 4 / 22 | $7.95 to wish list | ||
SCAMP (French)Raphaël Czaja Effet : Le magicien sort deux jokers d'un jeu rouge sur lesquels il a écrit une prédiction et les dépose sur la table.
Ensuite, il étale un jeu bleu face en l'air et propose au spectateur de choisir une carte. Par exemple, le valet de cœur. Puis, il retourne ses prédictions : Un joker indique « TENEZ LE JEU ROUGE FACE EN BAS » et l'autre, « VOTRE CARTE EST LA 29ème ». Le spectateur prend le jeu rouge et le tient face en bas. Il distribue les cartes une à une face en l'air jusqu'au nombre prédit par le magicien... La 29ème carte est le valet de cœur !

Accans FamilyRaphaël Czaja EFFECT: A spectator shuffles a packet of number cards as much as he wants and deals through it to create a random number. Then, he deals through a blue-backed deck of playing cards (in which the magician put a red-backed prediction) and stops at his number. Let's say his card is the 7 of Clubs. Unbelievably, the red-backed prediction is the 7 of Clubs!
NB: The deck is always dealt face-up. Self-working. Happens in the hands of the spectator. Examinable. Quick reset. No gaff. Uses one regular deck and one red-backed card only. Includes a handling to perform it anytime during your act with... | 2017 / 10 / 30 | $7.95 to wish list | ||
Colorful JourneyRaphaël Czaja This trick is also included in Knocked For Six.
The four aces are removed from a red backed deck. The Ace of Spades is placed on top of the red deck as the three other aces are lost one by one into a blue deck. After a magical gesture, the aces disappear from the blue backed deck and reappear on top of the red deck, under the Ace of Spades! Excerpts from a few Magic Cafe reviews: "How the aces "move" seems to confuse the spectator...and they have a weird look on their face, like "how is this possible!??". What I personally like about this one is that you end clean!!!" | 2017 / 8 / 7 | $2.00 to wish list | ||
Triple SuccessRaphaël Czaja This is also included in Knocked For Six.
You remove the two Jokers and three indifferent cards from the deck so the spectator can't choose them. You write three predictions on your business cards. Then, the spectator cuts to three cards. He chooses to place one of them between the Jokers, another one among the three indifferent cards whereas the last one is reversed into the deck. The predictions match all the spectator's cards and choices! Excerpts from a few Magic Cafe reviews: "This prediction will make the spectator think that you can predict the future. I tried this on my wife, and she was completely... | 2017 / 6 / 2 | $2.00 to wish list | ||
DIYCAANRaphaël Czaja From the creator of SCAMP, ACOCAVAN and 2D-ACAIN comes a fresh, original and effortless take on the Any Card At Any Number plot. It uses ordinary cards and can be performed hands-off (anyone can deal the cards at the end instead of the magician). Best of all, an impromptu version is also explained.
The magician introduces his performance by claiming: "The secret for this effect to be a success is for you to be both instinctive and lucky. I will guide you but just keep in mind that one card more or one card less will make all the difference." The spectator cuts off the deck and silently counts his cards to... | 2017 / 4 / 24 | $7.95 to wish list | ||

UntraceableRaphaël Czaja The descriptions below are purposely very detailed so you have an accurate transcription of what is seen by the spectator. Note that he can genuinely shuffle the deck as he wants (overhand, riffle, hindu, etc). No sleight or secret move from the magician. No marking system. No gaff or any hidden gimmick. Only use a regular deck.
EFFECT #1: While shuffling a deck of cards, you proclaim to have a sixth sense that enables you to feel things around you without the need for seeing, hearing or touching them; like detecting pulse beats from a close distance. To prove it, you invite a spectator to... | 2016 / 7 / 18 | $7.95 to wish list | ||
SpellboundRaphaël Czaja Effect: Using a full deck of playing cards, a spectator cuts to one card that the magician asks him to remember. He selects a second card by secretly spelling the name of his thought-of card, dealing one card for each letter, and pockets it. In the first climax, the magician is able to divine the card that the spectator is thinking of. In the second climax, the pocketed card and a prediction (tabled from the beginning) are revealed: They are identical!
No gaff. No sleight. Basically self-working. This routine uses a regular deck and an ordinary odd-backed card only. Everything can be examined. ... | 2016 / 2 / 28 | $4.50 $4.00 to wish list | ||
In Case Hof EmergencyRaphaël Czaja You remove the four Jacks (your "emergency cards") from a deck and table them. A card is selected - let's say the 2H - and lost into the deck. You concentrate, reveal that his card is the QS, and produce it in one cut. But the spectator tells you this is not his card. You wave your "emergency" packet over the deck: The Jack of the same suit as his selection, the JH, turns face up. Then, the three remaining cards are turned over: They have changed into the 2S, 2D and 2C! Finally, you spread the deck: The JS, JD and JC are face up in the middle of the deck, with one face-down card between the... | 2015 / 12 / 6 | $2.00 to wish list | ||
Biddle JuiceRaphaël Czaja Two cards are selected by Topper and Ramada and lost into the deck. The magician removes five cards from it. Topper confirms that one of them is his selection and the packet is placed between his palms. Ramada selects an indifferent card that is placed between her palms. After a magical gesture, Topper's card disappears from his packet. The magician says that playing cards like to switch places and that Topper's card should be reversed in the middle of the deck whereas Ramada's card should have switched places with her random card. One card is found reversed in the middle of the deck... but... | 2015 / 11 / 8 | $2.00 to wish list | ||
Double FatalityRaphaël Czaja Trick #1 - FATAL: A spectator mentally creates one card by choosing a value and a suit in a deck. The magician points out a prediction in full-view from the beginning and the spectator reveals his thought-of card for the first time. The prediction and the spectator's card are a perfect match!
Trick #2 - LETHAL: The magician explains that every magician has a lucky card - the King of Diamonds in his case. The spectator mentally creates his lucky card by choosing a value and a suit in a deck. The magician points out another deck of cards in full-view from the start, saying that he moved his... | 2015 / 3 / 28 | $7.95 $5.00 to wish list | ||
Progressive DivinationRaphaël Czaja For a divination experiment, a spectator grabs a shuffled deck and the magician turns his back. First, the spectator cuts to a "leader" card that is placed face up in the deck. He stares at his card as the magician establishes a mental
connection with him. The magician concentrates and notes on his business card what the color of the playing card may be. One chance out of two but it is just the beginning.
Then, the magician explains that he still needs two other cards and the "leader" card will help lead us to them. The spectator spells the value of the leader card, counting one card for... | 2014 / 12 / 1 | $3.00 to wish list | ||
Read, Spell and KillRaphaël Czaja Basically, two thought-of cards selected from a thoroughly shuffled deck are revealed by the magician. The first one is found by reading in the spectator's mind. The second one is found by spelling the name of the first card revealed, dealing one card for each letter from the top of the deck. The card at the last letter is turned over: It is the second thought-of card!
Here is the performance in detail: The deck is shuffled by the magician and a spectator. A second spectator does the last shuffle and the magician turns his back to them. Spectator 1 is asked to remove a small packet from the... | 2014 / 10 / 13 | $3.00 to wish list |
