I'm looking for some effects that utilize trading cards...baseball, football, it doesn't matter.

I have done a version of OOTW with Magic the Gathering cards at a comic book convention that went over very well. I suppose you could do the same thing with baseball cards where the cards sort into AL/NL etc.

You can make up a Svengali deck. You can do predictions/mentalism effect. T+R baseball card. Need more ideas?

If you need the cards to handle a little more like playing cards, applying some Cashmere Bouquet soap to the cards will give them a little more slip.

These are great suggestions. The Svengali deck would be hard because I don't have access to a bunch of the same cards. Everything I have are all different. OOTW sounds intriguing. Possibly something with mentalism. I was looking at a trck by Sankey called Linguering Illusion form Spectacle.

I have a great idea I will share with you. I have been one of the magicians with the Orlando Magic NBA team for 5 years now and I have what I think is a killer piece that you could make and relates to a sports theme. PM me and I'll go over it with you.

You can do J B Bobo's "Higher Mentality" with the trading cards. Let me know if you need the reference.
