I perform many walk around acts as a Mentalist during a year. I’d like to add more mem deck routines in my walk around act that do not require a table to have cards spread on, or dealt on. Some of my favorites are Simon Aronson’s Past Present Future, Twice as Hard, and Everybody’s Lazy. Unfortunately, these are out of the question when I’m walking around performing at a cocktail hour. For these events I normally perform Simon’s Two Beginnings and Richard Osterlind’s Card Calling. I’m wondering if anybody can give me recommendations of other popular mem deck effects that I can perform in these environments?

Test your luck by Darwin Ortiz. Very good effect.

One that I’ve discovered while reasearching is Simon’s Birthday Backer in Art Decko,specifically the Countdown Cull version. However, a memorized deck isn’t exactly necessary for it. Very simple and direct version of the birthday card plot.

I agree with Test Your Luck - super strong effect.
Also, Or Not by Dani da Ortiz Smiling Mule by Michael Close Test Conditions by Richard Osterlind I use all of these on a regular basis when strolling. |

Davi Blaine does some nice mem deck tricks in this performance, some of which do not need a table. I believe the one where a group of cards is removed, is a variation of an Asi Wind trick found in his book Repertoire.

From Darwin Ortiz as well as Test your Luck, I normally use Remote Control (which you can do Strolling if you count into their hands), Double Tap and Sorcerer's Apprentice. All work great in strolling.
Also from Matt Bakers Buena Vista Shuffle Club check out Casablanca which is similar to Sorcerer's Apprentice in that they are both similar to Al Koran's Double Thought. And Location Sensing Device and Tilapia all of which can be done strolling and don't ruin your order. |

I think I finally found what I've been looking for: Michael Close's Haunted Deck. Anybody here perform this? I've known about it for years but it came across my mind just a few days ago while thinking of another card trick I perform. I normally perform Nicholas Einhorn's Spooked and thought how cool it would be if somebody just named the card to pop out of the deck. I've gone ahead and bought all the necessary materials and made up the gimmick today to perform Michael Close's version. This one is going to be a lot of fun!
