Agreed, this goes down really well and needs no props.
I like card to wallet (envelope or not) but signed card under glass gets jaws dropping.

With the Clarity Box, there is already a card inside of the box and that card proves to be the card that was chosen - that is not a transposition (a transposition being defined by Dariel Fitzkee as a change in location). If the Clarity Box had nothing inside of it and then a card appeared and that card was the chosen card, then THAT would be an impossible location. Instead, the Clarity Box is a transformation (defined, again, by Fitzkee as being a change in appearance. character or identity) - a card already inside of the box transforms into the chosen card.
So what is the best impossible location that you can purchase on the market? Well, that trick doesn't exist. If it did, everyone would be doing it. No other impossible location effects would be up for sale because nobody would purchase them (because the best one is already there). I believe that fiftytwo, above, has given you the answer:
"Under glass, or in their pocket. Envelopes, wallets. Inside a lemon. Whatever works best for you, and you can make most magical."
What a simple answer. I've found that more often than not, in life, the simple answer is always the best and, not only that, 100% correct.

I think it's essential to say that the card has to be signed for it to be truly magical otherwise you may as well just use a dupe & the participants will suspect as much. If you have some decent sleights under your belt then it’s easy enough to come up with a short but structured multi-phase routine with a signed card jumping to the top, into your pocket, from your pocket back onto the deck, under a glass (twice in a row) ending up folded in your shoe or even into their own wallet without buying more props/gimmicks.
