Card Tricks

Unread post by walrus »

I wanted to ask what card tricks do you get the best reaction from. Although reaction is of course based mainly on presentation the cards themselves do, of course, influence both presentation and reaction.

I have had great reactions to "Search and Destroy". When I do perform it I get the audience very involved which is always a big plus. I also have great reactions to anything I have learned of Dani Ortiz (spelling?) but I am a bit choppy with some of his stuff.

I get good reactions with Transpositions that take place in the spectator's hands.

Definitely stuff that asks for audience interaction (i.e, Two Card Monte, a transposition that happens in their hands, etc).

I think that they feel that it's more "impossible" when the magic happens in their hands.

Paul Harris' Las Vegas Leaper -- an excellent effect as everything happens in the spectator's hands with them even counting the cards before anything happens.

Wayne Houchin's Indecent -- when placed well in a routine is great. Leaves an awesome souvenir and is completely examinable.

Shoot Ogawa's Anniversary Salsa -- audience gets to sign two different cards and gives an amazing ending that is also an excellent souvenir.
