I'm looking for good running gags for my close up show. I have seen those Applause Please, Louder, That's enough cards, but Im looking for something better and funnier. Any ideas? Please help me out by pointing me to resources.

Thanks.

a light and heavy chest perhaps. a spectator cant lift it off the ground because its too heavy. but you can. I couldn't find it on penguin though, but you'll find it if you search.

some of them are out of stock but you could find them somewhere else

A bill switch can come in handy with some flash paper,

borrow a 100, then flash paper it, then make some joke about it throughout your show, then appear a mismade 100 bill and give it back to him and such and finally at the end of show do a bill switch back to his 100.

I've seen many presentations and such of effects like this, and it always gets amazing reactions and loads of laughs

heres a gag I used to use before I lost it, if you buy it get two. I'm goin get new ones tomorrow. Its a good way to show your pockets empty. http://www.penguinmagic.com/specialorderproduct.php?ID=9205
