I want to know what is (for you) the best card trick available and why?

The raven is one of my many favourites because when my spectators see the coin off the hand the look on there faces allways makes me feel that its a job well done and it will last a lifetime a brilliant invention.

Sorry,i diddent see the word "card" at first.
one of my best tricks is ID,easy to do and allways gets a good reaction.

My personal favourites are every trick on Michael Ammars Easy to Master Card Miracles Vol 2. If you prefer cards get this you will not be dissapointed.

The Ambitious Card routine always gets a great reaction. Try to learn a few sequences to this routine because it is well worth it. Probably the best source to learn many ambitious card sequences is Daryl's Ambitious Card Video. Also, the Ammar video series is top-notch. The quality of these videos are unsurpassed, and if you already have intermediate knowledge of card sleights then get volumes 4-6 because the tricks in those volumes really look like miracles and the bonus effects are great. Also, probably the best packet trick of all time (I believe) is N.F.W. You can find it in any big magic retailer online (www.themagicwarehouse.com). It is one of the few gimmicked tricks i use and if presented correctly will absolutely disturb people.

I would have to say that my favorite card "gimmicked" trick is a tie between NFW and Future Zone. They are both jaw dropping to the spectator!

One of my favorite tricks is the one when David Blaine throws the card at the car window, and the person's card is on the inside of the car window

Hey guys. I think that the card effect, (Twins) is one of the best that I have seen yet! It can be found on Michael Ammar's Easy to Master Card Miracles, vol # 3. The handling takes a bit of work but the pay off is huge! The patter lines of the story just draws people right in and they never even question the moves. That's how well the story covers them. It's also VERY visual and the changes look absolutely impossible. I wouldn't open with it, but it makes a great middle or closing effect. The adults love this one when it's presented properly! Later, Mel.

My favorite packet trick is Virginia City Shuffle. My routine is similar but diferent than the one on Michael Ammar's Vol. 5. My favorite set-up deck trick is Red Hot Mama, it kills! And my favorite "any deck" trick has to be Las Vegas Leaper by Paul Harris, definately check it out.

I really like "Color Monte" because it has a combination of several sleights and changes that go well with the gambling patter. The surprise ending always gets a roar. I don't need a table to do it, so it works as a strolling trick for me. It's great for little kids too because there is no need for any memorized selection. I saw this trick demonstrated on the magictrickshop.com site and I added it into my set. I say "Two Ace of Hearts and One Ace of Spades" and at the end I use a Joker.

McClintock Twist is best by far, i recommend ordering the video or buying it at a local magic shop. I got it after seeing it on this website.

I think the 2-card monte is the best card trick ever.

Streetmagic#1 is right, two card monte rules! However, the last slight is very noticable if they aren't looking at the card in their hand. Therefore, I suggest that it only be preformed in front of one person. If you are preforming in front of more than one, I recomend the ambitious card routine.

i gotta agree with street magic and matt lol 2 card monte roxs

one of mine would have to be mutants by bob farmer they will be amazed i also like the switch a roo thats amazing
