I'm going to have to throw "AK-47" by Bannon into the mix. The single greatest card trick imo

My vote is for Crusade by Atlas Brookings

I second Crusade/Dr. Jones and give a vote for REALLY?! by Harry Lorayne

This is Mindreading? -Lorayne

The Blind Voice Detector- Richardson

What do you mean by that? Sorry, I am not familiar with the phrase "rumbled me on".

Sorry Pnerd I mean she wasn't fooled, she told me the method straight afterwards!

Oh yea I forgot about "IMPOSSIBLE" by Larry Jennings. Very nice.

Great thread! Let's keep it going!

Pre-pre-figuration by Mark Elsdon from his first penguin lecture is my current favorite, a spell-to-card-location that's also a prediction and a four of a kind production, it's a hit for sure!

I would also add "Really!" from Harry Lorayne, it fits all the conditions in the title of this topic !

You can find it in his last book "And Finally!" and also in the last section of his "The Classic Collection 1".

While browsing the Café, I also discovered this very instructive topic :

"10 of the Best Self-Working Card Tricks in the World" (December 2019)

Some of the effects described there require a set-up, but not all and they are all very good effects.

Best regards.

Haystack by Patrick Redford is another fantastic effect I've recently gained an appreciation for, it's available in his book Cardboard or his Photographic Deck videos. I think it's a tremendous impromptu intuition effect, especially when paired with Applesauce! Highly recommended!

I don't know if this one applies, but I think that the Whispering Queen is a great trick with no setup and no sleights required.

I'd like to second "Degrees of Freedom" and to add another one from J. Bannon: "Collusion". And maybe "Jumbo Coincidence" by Aldo Colombini. Well, not absolutely self-working but very easy to do. And you don't necessarily need the special half cards (and not in jumbo). I especially like the fact that the cards are completely reset after performing it.

A third vote for Really! by Harry Lorayne.

All Systems Go- Jennings.

Woops. Sorry guys. This one isn't sleight free

I don't know if you count using a key card self-working or not, but Turnover Card from Mark Wilson's CCIM is pretty much self working, is fun to perform and gets great reactions.
