Pop-Up Magic is the very first book by Eric Leblon, a French magician renowned for his stage charisma, infectious energy, and uncompromising artistic standards. Written in collaboration with Yvan Laplaud, this work distills over twenty years of experience, fieldwork, reflection, and passion for the art of magic.

Standing at the crossroads of practical handbook, theoretical essay, and personal narrative, Pop-Up Magic offers a remarkable sense of coherence despite its broad range of content: card magic, stage pieces, work with live animals, visual transformations, spectator psychology, character development, and performance philosophy.

More than a simple collection of tricks, this book is a genuine love letter to magic. It delivers ready-to-perform routines as well as thought-provoking material on rehearsal, stage presence, and the creative process.


The magic in Pop-Up Magic is visual, commercial, and powerful:
  • Impossible locations: signed cards appearing in the shoe, in or under the card box, with deceptively simple loading techniques.
  • Instant transformations: a card change under the watch, an ultra-clean Ace change - fluid, direct, and gimmick-free.
  • Animal productions: dove productions and poetic metamorphoses (egg ? dove).
  • Multi-phase routines: escalating effects with dramatic structure (e.g., Box Phénomène).
  • Magic for close-up, parlor, or stage: all tested in real-world conditions (restaurants, cabarets, TV, etc.).
These effects strike audiences through their apparent simplicity, their efficiency, and the emotion they generate. They rely on psychology, rhythm, and timing, far more than on gimmicks or mechanical props.Pop-Up Magic is a rare book - practical, inspiring, and deeply human. Eric Leblon shares his world with generosity and honesty, offering hard-hitting effects, sharp reflections, and a vision of magic that goes far beyond technique.

A must-read. This is not just a magic book. It's an artistic springboard.


Table of Contents

Foreword by Jean-Jacques Sanvert
A heartfelt tribute to Eric Leblon, praising the power, intelligence, and emotional impact of his magic.

Autobiographical Chapter
An intimate dive into Eric's journey: his beginnings performing on the streets of Antibes, his TV appearances, key encounters, setbacks, and his rise to becoming a respected professional.

Theoretical Essay - "Choosing Your Effects"
A foundational text on selecting material based on personality, impact, clarity, and commercial value.

Practical Routines

Card to Shoe - A signed card appears folded inside the magician's shoe. Simple, direct, and devastating.
Watch Load / Watch Change - A visible card under the magician's watch transforms into the chosen card - no difficult sleights.
Tempest Under an Ace - A dynamic, hard-hitting four-Ace routine blending technique, visuals, and surprise - built around the signature "watch change."
Dove in the Sleeve - A dove production from a borrowed jacket, using nothing more than a Topit and precise body mechanics.
Egg to Dove - A poetic transformation of an egg into a dove inside a spectator's sleeve.
Card to / under the Case - Two powerful loading techniques to send a signed card into or under the case - with many applications.
Box Phenomenon - A theatrical, comedic routine where the signed card repeatedly appears under or inside the card case... until it finally replaces the entire deck. A mini-show in itself.

Rehearsal & Practice Chapter
An inspiring exploration of daily practice: procrastination, mirror work, mime, tempo, mindset... a sincere call for personal rigor.

my fav now after using 50+ pillows
Style: Back Sleeper, Pattern Name: King
I have always struggled to find the perfect pillow, and so far I have had 50+ pillows. Personally, I like my pillow to be on thinner side as I look for more support for my neck. This is my first time buying pillows online, because I like to physically touch and feel the firmness and thickness before I purchase my pillows. I am so glad I did it! These pillows are just PERFECT for me! Perfect firmness, perfect thickness and perfect material. One thing I suggest is that be extra cautious when you open the package. These pillows were rolled and put in a relatively thin shipping bag, so when you open with sharp objects be careful not to cut your new favorite pillows! I let the pillows sit for about 48 hours before I started using them, but I assume you don't have to wait that long. Overall, I am very happy with my first online pillow purchase with Serta!

Definitely beats sleeping on the floor!
Color: Grey, Size: Twin
I was sleeping on the floor with my dog after she had emergency surgery and this helped me get through those tough couple of weeks. Comfortable and not too heavy. Comes with a bag to store it in and helps make it easier to move around.
