Are You Sure? - Damien Vappereau - Nassif Estate
From the Estate of Nathan Nassif... This is a great story showing how a lover of the art of magic stayed with it all the way. Nate starting out as a master close-up performer (with a signature coin matrix effect). He then traversed into parlor and stage venues including a wonderfully remembered Chinese Linking Ring routine by his family & friends. As Nate aged he accepted something difficult - loosing his dexterity due to arthritis and neuropathy. Give up his love for magic - FORGETABOUT! Nate zig-zaged into collecting. Nate was the epitome of class and someone we at Stevens Magic along with his friends like Jon Wilson and family won't forget. In fact our relationship with Nathan transcended the art of magic...

“Are You Sure?” – when choice is only an illusion
Are You Sure? is a brilliant routine created by Damien Vappereau & Marc Céliandre. A card is placed in the spectator’s hand from the very beginning. It never moves. It never changes. And yet… the entire routine revolves around it.
On this card: numbers, choices, possibilities. The magician asks the spectator to think of a number between 1 and 4.
Are You Sure?
The spectator freely names a number, convinced they are deciding the outcome of the effect. The magician then removes the corresponding card… and miracle: it is exactly the same as the one printed on the back of the card the spectator has been holding since the start.
Freedom vs. Illusion
Coincidence? Premonition? Subtle manipulation? With Are You Sure?, the spectator realizes that their choice may not have been a choice at all.
Key Features
- Apparently free choice by the spectator
- Strong visual and mental impact
- Direct, clean, and deeply puzzling
- Perfect for close-up & table hopping
- A memorable final revelation
An illusion of freedom… perfectly controlled.
