Twisted triumph (my own creation)<-- quickie and impromptu
ReCap variation

"Zamiel's Rose" by Derren Brown.

"Great Triumph" by Shoot Ogawa.

"Ring of Truth" by Banachek.

"CoinOne" by Homer Liwag.

And it's perfect for me because I designed it to be FOR ME and to fit MY style.... "Connected" by me.

one coin demo
Lazurus by Jay Sankey

All because they are simple and get great reactions.. and the first three are great practices in misdirection.
My own effects because I am proud of them and they get brilliant reactions, even signature go which still needs some work which Ill complete after my 'break'

Cool thread! Enjoying reading everyones faves! Even though I don't know what they are yet!! Lol

I love this trick as well. It's so much fun.

At the moment I'm quite a fan of the Ambitious Ace Through Five, as it seems to get a great reaction. Seeing people's eyes go wide open as you go through each revelation is the best.

Of course you can usually rely on the two card monte to get damn good reactions as well.

Divided Attention from Jay Sankey's 22 Blows to the Head

REALLY easy to do and blows the audience away!

I love doing card in mouth, with patter akin (But changed to suit the routine) to David Williamsons Scotland Yard card in mouth routine. It suits my performance style.


I actually really enjoy doing Strangers Gallery by John Bannon. In fact, I used this as the pre-closer for my street show in Australia for a year. Awesome effect! It plays BIG if you present it BIG!

I also love Ring Flite. Practically self working, but one people will talk about for a long long time!

jumping gemini - always gonna be close to my heart

Lottery gets great reactions from me and its very simple to do. I also love how you can do the move right in front of them without them noticing.

I have a few.

My made up Ambitious card routine is really great. I also like the look of one of my extremely easy tricks with the 1800 deck where I wave my hand over the card and it's old now. Best reactions come from Stigmata, and of course, King's Rising levitation.

1.Pshycokinetic Silverware: talking about incredible metal bending, supervisual incredible stunning

2.Thought transmiter: It's just the perfect mentalist tool, takes out the center tear(which is also great), the only cons to this are the batteries (if you purchased you know what i am talking about)

3.Phsychic mystery watch: the perfect walk around magic,always on my wrist

4. Impromptu key bend: Fits me very well, best impromptu ever.

5.Stigmata: the best way to reveal someone's secrets, impromptu at the best

6 Dracula book test: The best book teste ever invented, what a clever method

7.Super Sharpie: The best introduce of the nail writer, is just the best

8.Phsycokinetic Time: Hey, what is better than this impromptu method of the watch routine to read minds? nothing that's it

9.Ted lesley's bending cup: I made the book and its so incredible, so imposible, also I would never thought the way to set it up

10 Vulcan: people scream with this one...I know the method is too kiddy but I like it

well this is my list, all is like mentalism because I like mentalism, is the best magic in the world because its truly imposible, I heard people when Im doing mentalism say "Hey that's real magic"

so that's it bye

I have to tricks that are my favorites right now, this n' that (the first slight trick I learned)

The other trick I really like is 21 because of it never goes wrong (and I add a nice end to it which has the person picking their card "randomly")

just a very simple sponge ball routine.

the one where the sponge balls apear in the specs hands, then one in my hand one in my pocket etc.

adults and kids love it

Ambitious Card Routine is my favourite routine by far. Firstly, card magic has always been my favourite genre of magic, and it is the first routine i learnt and where i started magic. The sleights were quite easy to learn and through learning the ACR i internalised many of the backbone sleights used in card magic. My complete ACR is quite lengthy with about 7 stages so i rarely perform every part of it. The ACR is my favourite and im sure for others for a myriad of reasons:

- Very versatile as it can be applied to the situation with good flow, one can easily branch into the ACR and out of it to another routine
- You can always variate the length of the routine to your liking
- There are alot of options and leeway for patter presentations
- Best impromptu routine, no hassle, no setup, gimmicks etc. someone can hand you a deck of cards and away you go
- Every performer has their personalised version, giving a true opportunity to express their unique performing personality
- Suited for purists and non-purists alike, themewise and gimmickwise
- Every stage of the routine is really hard hitting and better than the last, a strongly ascending climax
- Theres always room to alter and develop your routine as you grow into a better performer
- Ive never failed to get astounding reactions with the ACR from any age anywhere
- Hugely entertaining to the spectators and entertaining to perform

I created a ginormous fantasy ACR with about 10 stages most of it is my actual routine and i plan to perform it when i perfect all the subtleties.

What I perform regularly, and goes down very strong, so my favourites ..

Card Warp
Pen Thro'
Hopping Halves (giant version)
Do as I do (with Emsley)
Floating with loops
Newest strong one, NFW
