I hope Jay Leslie doesn't come across this thread as the entire premise of the OP is bound to bothers him ha ha :-D I on the other hand have found it very interesting and can vouch for the effectiveness of Workers Surprise by Paul Gordon and a good solid ring & string to impossible location.

The card effects that kill for me are:
Gimmicked: Psypher In A Flash (Sankey) Invisible Deck Double Back (Allen) Painters Nightmare (Dancey) Twisted Sisters (Bannon) Turning Blue (Harlan off R&B DVD) Twlight Angels (Harris) Rising Deck Vortex (Harlan) Torched And Restored (Braun) Silent Treatment (Allen) Ungimmicked: ACAAN (Barry version) Quick As A Wink: (Fulves) Timely Departure (Bannon) Final Verdict (Bannon) Back In Time (Sankey) Search & Destroy (Fisher) Dr. Daley's Last Trick Ambitious (pop up) These are usually the card effects that elicit the greatest reactions for me. They serve me well. |

Anyway, back to the tricks.... 2 that are guaranteed to get me really strong reactions are signed card to cardcase, and vanishing deck (leaving their card between the palms). I think they are strong because they have a really simple plot, with no fancy moves or flourishes, they are short, very direct, involve the spectators, have a personal hook, and appear to be genuinely impossible. They are perfect for me as no gimmicks, no reset and powerful. I've worked them for years so I know how to make them work and work big, but the points above are what make them successful and apply to most of the effects that I do. |

The one's I used when I first started restaurant work 40 years ago still work for me and get great reactions:
1. The Bullet trick by Garcia (Super Subtle Card Miracles) 2. Card Warp (Roy Walton) 3. Prophecy Card (Bill Simon) I used to do Card on the Ceiling, but dropped it, not because reactions, but because I felt it was a bad thing to do in the restaurant, and it destroyed a bit of the ceiling/made extra work for the staff. I've added: 4. CardToon 5. Gemini Twins (it gets up to 4 people involved) Tony |

I just learned the Chicago Opener and it has blown away every group I performed for. They are entertained and amazed. Great trick to set the stage and qualify you as a real wizard!

For me, selected card is signed, inserted somewhere in the center of the cards in the card box,
box is put away in my inside jacket pocket. Then I reach into my rear pocket and remove a wallet that has a prediction in it. I ask them if it would be amazing, impressive etc... if my prediction matched their selection and proceed to turn over the card.....which happens to be a 52-1 card 
There is this great laughter and smiling moment as I do this routine after already showing great magic and they were expecting to see their card. They think I'm just being cute/funny. When I open the flap and there is their signed card inside that gets pulled out..... This is a great build up tension...release tension then.....What?!&^%$2 routine for me

Shoot spectator with a pack of cards gun! I love the trick when you explain a deck is dangerous, one can lose money and one get lose your life. Card is selected and the pack made to look like a gun. Shoot the 'gun' the spectators card flies out hitting him after he says his last and final words! No gimmicks just a pack!
