what are cool ways to reveal a card for a card trick

stigmata 's kinda cool

Put pocketing would be cool, though I have yet to do it.

I hope you're not looking for any explanations . . .

boomerang card is nice

Depends what you're after. Flashy stuff like hot shot cuts or the aforementioned boomerang? Or impossible stuff like in your wallet or under a glass? Or weird stuff like Stigmata or Bruised? The list is literally endless.

I am going try this at an event tonight but have the waiter bring it in on a plat or in a wine bottle.

Hopefully the waiter doesn't give the wine to someone else. Whoops! That's not your card! Anyone get the joke?

If I'm with a group of friends in a bar then I normally force the same card to each person and tell them not to reveal to anyone what thier chosen card is. I fumble it, move on and then later on in the evening they find their card facing them behind an optic behind the bar.

Of course, I show a quick trick like brainwave to the barman/lady, and politely ask if they can load this card behind the optic.

Seems to get a good reaction - the fact that it is delayed, it is eveyone's card and it is somewhere impossible.

My own favorite is the hot shot cut but I also get good reactions from using a change such as an Erdnase or shapeshifter.

I personally like the good old sealed prediction, placed on the table or given to someone to hold way ahead of time. If you're hopping, you're going to use a lot of envelopes, though!

I like writing the card on a peice of paper, really bold and realy big. Putting this real close to the spectator. People don't normally notice as long as your being casual. Force the card, yet their card has casually been there all along. For everyone to see.

I like the feeling as if the card has been there all along. Similar to the signed envelope.

Ashes on arm!

Plucking out of the air
Impromptu mentalism off a forced card
Pocket writing prediction (I just thought of this. I wonder how this would look...)
Pull out of my wallet
Pull out of their wallet
Card on wall/ceiling

I quite like to vanish the card from the deck and have it appear under my seat or in my pocket. Always gets a good reaction.

If your looking for more ways to learn revealing your card- Still fancy a pot of jam has some excellent methods.
