I wouldn't know anything about this since I have never worked 'magic' before, but "A Charming chinese challenge," by troy Hooser (sorry if that is not how you spell his name) , it's visual, amazing, and he'll be left wondering how the hell did he do that.
Have you Amazed?

If you have some lead time, I'd put a "happy ad" in the paper predicting a card, or send him a prediction via Fed Ex saying "don't open til XX." Force the card, make the prediction.

If it were a one-time gig, I wouldn't go to the expense. But this is a regular gig, so I'd go all out.

Jay Sankey has one (similar effect with newspapers ads) in one of his DVDs that Jay said it landed him a $25,000 gig!

Evolve - do you know what DVD that is? I have most of his DVDs and I don't remember anything like that... I'd love to see it.

Some great ideas for this one trick to impress idea. I always find 'red hot momma' gets great reactions for me as well as the bill switch. Good call on prohibition though, I bought this when it came out yet I never seem to use it, its amazing how you forget about some of the amazing magic you already have at your disposal. Another great trick that is performed by my friend above 'bond 19' is 'duality', which is an amazing card/mentalist trick that is perfect for this type of scenario.

Perform, The Omen By Aaron Fisher which is in his book The Paper Engine. That is a show stopper.

I'm glad to see that nobody suggested the ninja rings.
that means that not too many people do this trick.

You should do something with Ninja Rings, yeah they're awesome.
Come on Frank, you know I couldn't resist that set-up.
Think inside the box. . . it's less crowded.

I'd have more than one ready. You may hear, "Do that again!"

If I had to do cards, it would be impromptu Out of This World.

But if preparation was allowed, I would do sucker Silk to Egg with a real egg.

Hundy 500 and/or Kids Kards. If that leaves 'em less than impressed, then you'd better check for a pulse.
