The encyclopedia of card tricks (Huggard). You can pick it up for about 10 pounds. Or you can find it free of charge (though you have to become a member, which you will have no problem doing.) at http://www.thelearnedpig.com.pa/

This may be unsuitable for you but Kenton Knepper's effect (forget the name) allows you to produce any named card from your wallet (;)). Heirloom is based on it...

Since I still consider myself a relative newbie here (and to magic in general) please slap me down like the B**** that I am if this is a stupid suggestion but I would share 4 words:

B-O-R-I-S W-I-L-D M-A-R-K-E-D D-E-C-K

It's simple & easy, the deck could be easily switched in, and whilst they're looking for markings on the back of the card (which they'll never find without other marked cards to compare it to) you could switch the decks back round.

Once again, I ask...please slap me down in flurry of forum posting anger if this is a stupid suggestion.
