I do a lot of card effects table hopping. Most of them are off-beat and not the standard classics. I do some of the classics such as Triumph, Chicago Opener, Ambitious Card, but usually try to throw in a twist. Anyway, I was wondering what routine/effect plays the strongest for you? If you could include the name of the routine and who it is by it would be helpful to everyone.
My top five right now would probably be: Trick Photography - by Richard Sanders off of his Richard Sanders Show DVD Behind My Back - it is my own creation taking ideas from Richard Sanders, Benjamin Earl, and Get Sharky Ambitious Card - my own routine Rainbow Deck - from Nick Einhorn off of his At the Table Lecture Rule of Three - by Jon Allen

It takes nerve. I don't know of many doing it regularly. Which I have to admit is one big reason I like doing it.

I was fortunate to see both Matt's "boys" Charlie and Ed perform for me and my girlfriend when we went to Schuliens (drove from Ann Arbor Mi) in the early 1970s. I am sorry to say I never saw Matt (or Eddie Fechter either). But I feel fortunate that I saw Matt's sons. They did most of the effects from the The Magic of Matt Schulien book pretty much the same as written up there. Wonderful. Of course there is magic that can't be put in a book (or on a DVD either). A perfect night! I was pretty new to magic and she was my first real love. At Magic Inc. earlier Jay Marshall fooled me with his version of Oil and Water. I had never seen Oil and Water before! That's how new to magic I was

Here's one that surprised me. `i've had an "Insurance Policy" , 3 reveal type for about 25 years - never used it.
I tried it out last year, just for fun, and it went down so well, in it's basic form, that I worked on it, and it always gets a response way out of proportion. Just for the ability to force three different cards on 3 spectators. I don't use the script that comes with it - I pretend to read out the conditions, but ad-lib with references to the audience. It's a good 5 minutes at a restaurant table, there's no need for a surface, it's highly visual. It attracts the attention of the other tables. I use a spoof mind-reading theme, which I think may be what the instructions say.. I usually use effects that that involve as many of the willing as I can. Bill Switch, with bill found in fruit (red pepper, usually) Rope Routine Sponge rabbit routine with four phases and bits in between, squeeker/non-squeekr, purse frame,wand. Keeps four of them busy, two at a time. Card on ceiling - with as many signatures as feasible.Again - involves as many as I want. Sanders Identity I always carry, again, making sure all get to see it. It's a VERY powerrful effect, but I use it sparingly. Sankeys Holy Moley. Nothing but the Truth. Chicago Surprise, in he event of a clean, dry surface..... Pea can Sponge bananas, still.. And much more. I also have an 8 minute story telling routine which is basically the old "ash on the hand" trick that was so popular when smoking in pubs/bars was rife. It leave them stone cold staggered! I've worked in the same bar/restaurant every summer for 10 years - and I still love it. Holiday crowds. I have a different set for weddings, etc. (For what its worth.. )

I find that All Backs by Derek Dingle always goes over very well. The idea of showing a deck as a "trick" deck then having it tranfer back to normal seems to register well with an audience.

Phil plus.
it gets a great reaction. but if you discover that one of the ladies in the group just happens to be called LUCY (the force name) and you ask Lucy to choose a card at random, then the reaction is unreal. she chose the only card in the pack with her name printed on it !!! |

For close up, signed card to impossible location...usally wallet or box. Someone recently told me a quote from a well known mentalist, "In the eyes of a layman, whoever does card to wallet first, wins."

Before doing anything I take out a folded post-it note with a selected card written on it and tell the spectator to keep it folded and just keep it secure. After a couple tricks I end by forcing that specific card and tell them to open the piece of paper. Despite the short routine, talking only maybe 30 seconds to force the card, the fact that they were holding the piece of paper the whole time just throws them. I have never met a person who said they did not like that trick, it is usually met with a good reaction. It is one of my favorites to end with.
