I like using the invisible deck for Steve Bedwells Pot Noodle Trick. Also zapped is one of my favorite tricks with gimmicked cards.

A double-backed card in an "Ambitous Card" routine can be used to good advantage; it's not really a "gaffed card" effect, but you can throw people off with it.

I'm going to have to go with Twisted Sisters, though there is another one, I forget what it's called. But it has 20 cards with different backs, 3 prediction cards. Spectator tells you when to stop, you mark the deck with the prediction cards and what do you know? The three prediction cards are the only ones that match where the spectator picked, with them being the only cards in the deck that have the same back. and the rest of the deck is all the same.

simple, elegant, beautiful and now a staple of my traveling show.

I use a Brainwave deck (only for laymen, of course).

NFW has always been good to me. I always get a good reaction and leave people saying NFW!

A trick that I think is really under_rated is Dan Harlen's Hold it, buddy!(A close-up version of his trick called Hold it, Buster!) I've been performing that trick for several years now, and it never fails to blow people away. I've added a few subtleties
and a clean up phase where I can hand the cards as soon as the effect is finished. It's not uncommon for me to get a better reaction from this trick then Twisted Sisters(which is probably the best packet trick ever.)

My $.02,

An old one which has been much overlooked I think is Wagner's 'Factory Misprints.' If you don't know it, it's worth looking at, just for the experience. Smile

Invisible deck takes some beating!

Hey I just thought of that!
I feel as if I have been whisked here from another life....it may even have been my own!

Love the mental photography. So much fun to do. Get the best reaction out of invisible deck. I just got NFW, got to work on the "count" a bit first.

My vote would have to be for Quartet by Guy Hollingworth. Waving the Aces is one of my favorite tricks and this adds so much to the effect.
