Occult based performance. I say performance rather than routines but the whole performance itself could be considered a routine as each section is the part of one big horrific jigsaw.

For my audition into WCM i started off with til death do us part (explaining i like card tricks and photos are like cards. they both have a face and a back). then moved onto directors cut horror edition (claiming i like collecting photos of famous people but find it hard so i have a collection of film posters). To finish i did mark elsdons family values (combining photos and playing cards). Went down quite well.
Card(s) to impossible location(s) is one that I perform under a number of different guises. One card, many cards, to pocket(s), wallet, spec's pocket, etc, etc. There are so many different presentational approaches, themes and motivations that can be used for this effect that I never tire of it. Plus it's a strong, non-trivial effect.

I keep trying a few versions of this this as there are so many around. Many seem very impractical for me. Any ones you you are particularity impressed with?
Personally I went through a phase of being mental about which hand plots and methods.
Just been digging around and it looks like a good idea I could use with Tarot cards. It was offered on e-book but cant find a link now. Any ideas where i could purchase it?
Mine is changing cards, i love the audience reaction when you seem to have morphed a card into another. I use the this and that effect but with my own twist
