I always find these sort of threads interesting as everyone has different tastes and requirements when it comes for choosing effects so with that in mind
If you could only perform 3 tricks for the rest of your life what are they and here's the twist, you have to choose one card trick ( for me it would be Dr Daley's Last Trick although I like to produce the aces first so it's technically 2 tricks ) One coin trick ( For me it's coins across ) For the last one you can choose any thing apart from cards and coins as we've had them ( This is really tough for me to decide ...but for now I'll say my own chop cup routine ) Over to you |

Well, you can include me out!
I have not the slightest interest in doing card tricks.. I have known and enjoyed the work of, most of the top cardicians, like Elmsley, Jaye, LePaul, Miller, Tomsoni, Racherbaumer, Marlo, Vernon, et al., but, my only card trick is the cards to pocket routine in my book. I did a routine of card flourishes for over 50 years (in my '20s, I did white glove card fan productions, until I realized that. at my age then, I was not "swayve & deboner. When I was young, I did the Downs palm with both hands, the coin roll with four coins simultaneously, and most of the known flourishes. J. B. Bobo was a dear friend for 40 years. I developed about 1951, a rope juggling bit, that I call the Norwegian YOYO, I learned most of the knot tricks in R.W. Hull's "15 Minutes With A Piece Of Rope", and, I'm happy with them. I do a good commercial ball routine that gets LAUGHS, but, I haven't done the multiplying balls in 50 years. I do most of the silk routines that involve sleights. I'm retired.

P.S. How can you chose an effect? An EFFECT is what the spectator perceives when he sees the magician perform A TRICK. (I was fortunate to have good mentors, who insisted that I use terms correctly.)

This is tough picking only three effects:
#1 Hands down for me would be Professor's Nightmare. I do a routine to a basketball story, little kids buying a dog, and a golfer story. I also use it in a conclusion to a cut and restored rope routine. PNM can be performed close-up, walk around, stand-up and all the props can be examined. PNM is a classic for a reason and it plays well for audiences of all ages. #2 Kid's Cards by Richard Pinter is fun for adults and kids of all ages. Yes this is a card trick but much different than almost all other card effects. #3 Silk to Egg, another classic and for good reason. Have a great day, Walking Bob in Iowa |

I'll Play:
The Card Trick of Death The Nuts My charming personality You cant get any of this stuff off the shelf. These two routines have been a staple of my performances for more than 18 years and I can make these two routines fill a 30 - 40 minute show, with non-stop fun and entertainment. This set is very funny, 100% clean and entertains families, corporate programs, theme parks, fairs & festivals. |

Thanks for everyone's input there's been many suggestions that I considered myself |

Cards - A routine which has several elements: thought of, transposition, rising card, card to head & CTP finish. The most important part is that it lets me show and establish my performing persona.
Coins - Probably coins across (reserve would be one coin including pen & coin phases. Other - Rope: PN with a few Sands/Sanders add-ons. |

Non cards & non coins would be a bill switch & sponges for me. As for a third trick, spoon bending is fun & of course goes down well.

I'll take some liberty and use a routine for the cards:
1) Ace Production > Twisting the Aces > Dr. Daley's > Card Warp 2) Coins through table 3) Pegasus Page |
