I also like performing Sankey's 'Back in Time, then follow it up with Cody Fisher's 'Table-hopping Triumph'. It rocks!

Ambitious Card comes to mind, but I think I would do "Hary the one armed gambler" by Father Cyoerian. A great one handed poker routine where the spectator shuffles the cards. Also I would do hir rubber band cutting the deck.

I'd probably do the card to pocket, and the one where I have them freely select a card, loose it into the deck, then put the deck up to my forehead and predict their card, and reveal it in some cool way.

This question is easy. The first trick I would do is Dai Vernon's Triumph. Not prep and it's very easy. The best trick for any laymen.

Assuming that no table would be available and the cards would be worn, I might do the following:
Actually, I don't get this opportunity too often. But I can see that performing with a borrowed deck would probably strengthen the overall impression in the spectators' minds. Emily B.

My choice is always to do a standard "pick a card—blahblahblah—is this your card?" trick, then when people laugh, follow it with:
"I'm glad that you enjoyed the magic, some people feel kinda threatened by it and start trying to make my life difficult. Like, a while back I was doing the trick I just showed you, but decided to add in an extra riffle shuffle so it would look more impressive..." Where during this patter I start the trick (have them select a card, I control to top) then set up for the riffle shuffle and...cue Triumph. It's a great follow on. Start with a card finding trick, then repeat it but halfway through the second rendition—and here I'm always telling a story about the time I tried this trick at a festival with lots of drunk people—it becomes Triumph. Oh...and then Vernon's Out of Sight to finish it off. Oh, as an addition to that, if I'm feeling particularly confident I'll do: Twisting the Aces* The Last Trick of Dr. Daley* Out of Sight...** Two different (easy) routines that require no setup. It just depends how comfortable everything feels, because even at the best of times my hands are shaking around like a mess. *Thank you Ammar **Learned from an illusionist video |

I have a great problem when this happens, because the cards used normally here in Brazil are not the same quality of Bicycle cards (I prefer an old Bicycle than a new one from here). Then what do I do?

I do an ambitious card (I love this trick) and I also do a trick using the erd******* colour change.

OOTW if only one trick (still believe it's the best card trick of the 20th century).
If two tricks, then start with Ambitious Card. If three, then start with a spelling trick (using a simple key card approach).

I usually do a Zenneth Twist or if I'm really feeling ambitious I do a move by Daryl (hahahahah—no? OK. )
And another good one is Card in Pocket.
Of course I can float, - can i borrow a jet pack from the audience please?

You should do the four aces routine (on top of the deck).

I would suggest either The Biddle or The Ambitious Card routine. These are great effects and require no setup at all.

I would do a number of the routines listed if I knew what the deck condition was. That is the vital ingredient. If the deck is in poor shape, a lot of sleights most likely won't work.
So under this condition, what would you do? First thing I would do would be to glance the top and bottom card, and if the cards allowed sleights after some fast checking, I'd reverse one in the center of the deck. Now you have endless ideas possible. MM
