Hunter's Impossible Knot - I've been doing it for about 40 years (really!). It's one of the few tricks that you can do over and over again and the move will never be detected.

Tom Mullica's Nicotine Nincompoop trick is my favourite, in particular the performance on his Cigarette Magic DVD. But I can't perform that :D!

Out of what I can do it's still got to be having someone select a card and then not being able to find it only for it to appear in an ice cube in their drink. It's the only trick thats REALLY impressed my brother.

#cough# Oracle Deck #cough#... just because it's so easy and doesn't involve any massive amount of skill.
but for something sleightly more taxing I'm like a "signed card to bottle" or "signed card to can" trick at the moment. but it suits my usual performing environment, ba zing!

Crazy Man's Handcuffs for reactions, some of the Cultural Xchange stuff I've just learned for the joy of getting away with it.

I think Mike Rose's The Grail is the perfect trick for me. No fancy sleights (just a slight set up to practice), you can present the trick slowly and clearly and the spectator gets to freely handle the cards.

Lindz, I've seen you refer to Triology a number of times. At first I assumed it was a typo for 'Trilogy' (an excellent effect), but you've spelled it the same way every time, so I wondered what the effect is.

My favourite trick is probably Galaxy from the 'Art of Astonishment' series.

I'm afraid I'm going with a tried and tested trick. The triumph, i love that trick, the reactions are unbelievable and it can be done anywhere with any deck, which i think is half the beauty.


BRAVO!
