Anybody have any suggestions for tricks that can be performed with business cards?

Lee Smith has his Business Lunch effect on his STEP system DVD set, a great effect that i use. Michael Ammar also has a good DVD of business card effects.

I print mine by hand using a p****e move.

They also make excellent billets.

Great effect on Dave Forrest's Deceptions Vol 1 DVD where you show a drawing of a chosen card on the back of a business card (the rest are blank), you then shake the drawing off the card and a mini bicycle card pops off and they keep the business card with the now blank back! Gets good reactions...

Greg wilsons stock holder? Its the elegant solution to the out to lunch principle.

Maybe too simple for what you are after but the paddle move?

That's what magic of the mind said, mate.

Oops

You can do a humorous impromptu one card levitation with the thumbs...

You could always go for a torn and restored business card, many torn and restored card routines can work with business cards.

awesome suggestions guys, cheers.

John Guastaferro has an awesome prediction type business card effect on
his "Second Storm" dvd Vol 1
I'm having some cards made up special just for this one effect.

Constellation - The spectator marks dots on your business card, which VISUALLY reposition themselves to reveal a selected card. A wonderful close-up illusion.


CArl...

Just thought I'd add a reply to my own topic (as you do)....in case anybody else was interested. I've just been reading about redemption (by Chris Ballinger) and there is apparently a nice business card related trick that can be done with this. I'm going through a pretty bad case of CUPS at the moment. Don't know how much longer I can hold out before I buy this.

theres a few similar gimmicks about....... tool and conspiracy being 2 of them, not sure which is cheaper but they could all achieve the same thing, so if you're insisitant on spending then maybe you couls save a few quid

in response to the original question, counterfeit hollingworth can be done with business cards i do believe
