Has anyone mentioned Gregory Wilson's Stock Holder? I remember when he told me he was going to market it and I said "Hmmm...I don't think too many people will be interested in that Greg." After he gave me one and I read through the routines I wiped the egg off my face and told him I loved it. His routine in particular is great. Well worth the $40 it costs.

I prefer to do a quick numerology reading (tic-tac-toe style) on the back of my card and then give it to the client afterwards. She'll keep that card for quite a while.

No one read Paul Harris' Art of Astonishment vol 1-3? Volume three has a cool joined business card trick and volume two has one involving placement in a book, removing it, then it jumps back.

I think Paul Harris' trick is called Rumple Splitskin or something like it. It looks pretty good. Like Rruben98 said, there at least two in his AoA series.

If you have invisible thread on, you could do Leclair's whirling card -- It's simple, visual, quick and clean.

There's a nifty string and holder apparatus that allows you to "beckon" it out from behind your tie.

I have not read through the above entries word for word so I do not know if using business cards to do an effect that is usually done with playing cards is suggested. It is card warp. This can be done with business cards. I was at the local Shell Gas Station having some work done on our car and asked Jerry the owner if he wanted to see a magic trick and he said yes. I then got two of his own business cards from a little holder on the counter and did business card warp. (I tore the bottom card half way to set it up after picking up the cards from another counter, returned, and then showed him the effect. It blew his and his clerk minds away !!!

You could personalize your card with their birthday in a quick Magic Square.

Have fun,
John
