Hi
This is karl.
I think if you decide to do a card trick on stage, it should not be a complicated one.
It has to be one card trick, in witch you combine, CARDS, HUMOUR, VISUAL, AND PUBLIC PARTICIPATION;
If you can combine those four factors? YOU ARE ON BUSINESS
______________
Avoid complicated cards tricks in witch you make everybody to concentrate, ......
A simple and very well funny card effect, is one call CARD IN ENVELLOPE;
BUT AS I ALWAYS SAY; al depend of your personnal presentation.
If you got good sense of humour, and a funy way of presenting this one,
it will be a good one for closing your act (up to you)
WITH A CHAIR AND A LOW TABLE (spectator seated)
Invite someone to stage, he select a card, back to ythe deck, shuffle, give him the deck to hold, show freely five empty envellopes, ask him to pick up one,AND CHEK IS EMPTY, aske him to give you back the deck, so he can seal the envellope,
Then say that you need to heat the envellope, for the effect to work.
How should we do that??
in a casual maner, ask him/her to stand up a moment, and casually, place the sealed selected envellope on the chair, asking him to please seat pon it , and "keep me this on the heat".
Now there are many ways to finis this:
f.ex. ask poeple in the room to put there arms (both) pointing at the seated guy, and send them all there mental energy, by shouting loud, any magic word you like or any weard sounds, (?)
Asking the seated person, to , at the same time he gets all there energy,
to make some kind of funy bumb moovements (couple of time).
(do as you like but make it funy)
End: ask him to stand up
pick very carefully the envellope from the chair, slowly and with two fingers, (to show that there are no funny mooves)
open braik the envellope, an take from inside the SELECTED CARD;

Send me a privat pm, will tell you how
hope this help

ps: DONT EVER PREFORME A MENTAL CARD (or other) EFFECT IN A NOISY ENVIREMENT
