How about this for a trick - you have someone pick a card & sign it, then you shuffle it into the deck.
Then you go through some process of counting cards according to the spectators birthday, favorite number, spelling the card, etc. After the whole deck is exhausted (& so is everyone watching), you pull the card out of your wallet, mystery box, shoe.........etc. I would reserve this for the people who insist on showing you the "21 card trick". _________________ Thanx, Ichazod All the worlds a stage, And the men & women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts. |

I had a guy tell me about this "great" magician he saw doing an impromptu trick in a bar.
The guy had a card selected, had different people shuffle, involved almost everyone in the place with one task or another. He went on for about 15 minutes and never even tried to find the card. but everyone had a wonderful time, and this guy remembered him as "great". I would have liked to see this magi work...

Good one I saw once... This guy stands up in front of everybody and says: "Who wants to see a card trick?" Mumbel mumble "Come on, guys this is a brilliant trick. You'll love it!" Mumble mumble and a grudging OK then.

Ichazod,
I was too quick to answer earlier. It suddenly dawned on me that I already do a variation on that. A card is selected from a blue deck. I pick up a red deck and say that I am going to find the duplicate of their card. But first I have to remove the Jokers. As I babble on, I remove Joker after Joker, until there is nothing left but one card. It matches their chosen card! Allows for great comedy lines and there's just enough magic to carry the routine. cheers, Peter Marucci showtimecol@aol.com |

Very nice Peter!
I realized something, Mr. Marucci seems to be on every message board on the internet at the same time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not humanly possible, I think we have a vampire among us! _________________ Thanx, Ichazod "May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house." |

BTW, if you hang a wreath of garlic around your neck, you will keep vampires away. Also deliverymen, sales clerks, friends, family, and total strangers. cheers, One of the many Peter Maruccis showtimecol@aol.com |

Two nuns are driving along in a car.
suddenly a vampire jumps out in front of them and they are forced to brake. knowing that one of the many things to kill vampires is religious symbols, one nun says to the other: "quick, show him your cross!" so the other nun gets out the car and yells: "get out of the way you toothy git!"

I do close-up magic regularly in a local bar/pub/club. One strange phenomenom I have noticed is past spectators calling me over to their table, and asking me to repeat that amazing trick I showed them last time. But I have never done this trick or it is such a hyped up verson of one I have done, if I did my one it would seem dissapointing. I think beer increases your imagination tenfold, or I get better at magic when I'm drunk.

The bartender or hostess could return the card with the change for the next round when you finally realize the card is not in the deck.
The joker version is wonderful.

Wouldn't it be great if you did a version of card in the beer bottle using these ideas?
A card is freely selected and signed. Everyone is having a great time shuffling it into the deck but when everyone is finished the card is found to be missing. Oh no. Not to worry because the waiter arrives at the table with the next round of drinks. Hold on... Inside the spec's recently received beer bottle is one card... An idea Stephen :banana:

How would one go about it? I suppose it would be either you say "Since I couldn't find your card the next round is on me." As you bring him his drink the card is inside.
Or have the bartender as a confederate? Duke |

Or to make the trick really super-annoying you could say, "In order to finish, I'll need a calculator, another round, and a pack of smokes."
But the ending better be really good.

The bartender (or waiter, depending on where you are working the effect) hands the spec his/her next drink and the signed card is found inside... All you need is a buddy behind the bar...

By the time the bartender hands the spectator the beer with card inside, the spectator thinks the whole bar is in on the trick! If he likes to drink dark beer the card probably wouldn't even be visible until he drank about half the beer. Imagine that, you could even leave the building before he finds his card! Truly a trick to end with! Duke |
