Punx had a routine about Buddha's beads, which you may be interested in.
Also search the Story telling forum under Spooky - Silvertongue strated a thread on Buddhist routines there if I'm not mistaken. S

It's not bizzare, but I think Darwin Ortiz has a zen card trick. If I remember correctly I loved the idea, but I didn't think the technique was quite simple and straight forward enough for the presentation.

Read up on Zen.
Quite a lot of it is bizarre already. Just add an effect.

Bizarre is a style of presentation and can be on pretty much any subject.

The Haiku Book test.
You can use this as an intro: The beauty of Japanese haiku poetry, inspired by Zen Buddhism, lies in the brevity of expression which conveys a world of meaning and emotions. While all haiku are not Zen, several prominent haiku poets, particularly Matsuo Basho (1644 - 1694) and Kobayashi Issa (1763 - 1828), were Zen trained. Their haiku, and others of the Edo period of Japan, often centered on Buddhist themes, and under their influence this increasingly became true of haiku in general. One of these Buddhist themes is transience or impermanence (annica), one of Buddhism's three marks of existence, as in these two examples: Clouds appear and bring to men a chance to rest from looking at the moon. Basho A giant firefly: that way, this way, that way, this - and it passes by. Issa http://www.ronjo.com/magic/HAIKUBOOKTEST.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QBcLqO8_DU

I have a presentation that I call, "Zen and Again". It is based on the Thieves & Sheep premise, but with colored cubes. At the end it solves and reveals the answer to one mystery, but leaves a larger mystery in its wake.

Show a little respect for the religion, never know when a Buddhist might be in the audience.
