By Alain Choquette

Alain Choquette stands out as a prominent figure in the world of magic in Quebec, renowned for his captivating television performances. His innovative ideas have influenced some of the greatest magicians, including David Copperfield. For instance, when Copperfield showcases his rendition of the “four aces,” it draws inspiration from Choquette’s work. Similarly, the illusion of spectators vanishing in Copperfield’s Las Vegas finale is rooted in Choquette’s creativity.

In 2012, Choquette embarked on a conference tour for French magic clubs, during which he produced remarkable “conference notes.” These 42 pages of vibrant content could easily be regarded as a comprehensive “conference book.”
