“I have always been a big fan in secret for years and years. She is the best female sleight of hand artist of all time. I don’t know a huge amount about anything, but one thing I know a lot about is sleight of hand. And I know I’m not wrong.” –Chris Kenner

“With the Penn & Teller Fool Us Fooler award, multiple trophies, and solo shows to her credit, she has built a resume that any magician would envy. Most importantly, she has inspired countless individuals, breaking down barriers for future generations.” –Vanishing Inc

“Alexandra’s magic radiates profound emotion, showcasing impeccable technique and a spiritual connection that touches the heart. Thank you for these intense, moving moments.” – Norbert Ferré

“Presentation, tempo, everything is perfect. Top!” –David Stone

What Will She Teach?

Splash: Alexandra transforms a common prop used in bottle productions into a personal and entertaining presentation. As she introduces herself on stage, her shoe mysteriously vanishes, only to reappear with the pop of a balloon.

Sweets: This delightful routine combines personal storytelling with a variety of French confections, making it relatable for all ages. The magician offers a bag filled with toffees, chocolates, bubble gum, and cola-flavored licorice. After confirming their authenticity, she magically reveals that all the sweets are threaded onto the licorice, providing a safe twist on classic effects like the razor blade swallow.

Transmitter: A humorous and astonishing mind-reading effect where a spectator, wearing a whimsical balloon hat, secretly selects a card. The audience collectively reveals the chosen card in a surprising twist.

Sense of Touch: This routine can be presented as either a mind-reading feat or a skill demonstration. The magician, even blindfolded, accurately selects the correct color balloon from a large bag filled with hundreds of options.

Transcendental Force: Originally created by Dominique Duvivier in 1984, this coins across routine has been refined by Alexandra into a powerful performance piece, ideal for stage shows as well as close-up magic.

Impromptu Wild Card: This captivating routine, also by Dominique Duvivier, begins as a game of find the lady with an unexpected twist. The anticipated money card turns out to be a loser, while all remaining cards transform into queens. This incredible version of Wild Card uses no gaffs and is entirely examinable, ensuring your audience will be amazed.

Amelie Poulain: A signature piece where Alexandra skillfully cuts butterfly silhouettes from tissue paper, making them dance across the stage with just the breeze from a vinyl record. This poignant performance fills the theater with vibrant, colorful butterflies, creating a magical atmosphere.

Who Is She?

Alexandra Duvivier is one of the few prominent female figures in the magic community, having won the prestigious Mandrake d’Or in France and becoming the first French female magician to fool Penn and Teller on their acclaimed show “Fool Us.”

As the daughter of magic legend Dominique Duvivier, she faced the challenge of establishing her own identity in a male-dominated field. Unlike many children of famous parents, her father did not push her into magic; it was only at 15 that she began to carve her own path as a magician.

She has become a sought-after performer for major brands at private events (including Hermes, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, and L’Oréal) and has appeared as a hand double for renowned film stars. With eight shows to her name, including three solo performances, three collaborative acts with her father, a children’s show, and a show in English, she captivates audiences with her humor and engaging magic.

In addition to her performance career, Alexandra is a trainer and business speaker, specializing in innovative communication methods using magic. She also instructs for the first diploma in magic recognized by the French Ministry of Labor.
