Probably my favorite is the magnetic mark. A simple match trick that uses the burnt match to draw a line on the palm of the hand that mysteriously turns into an "x". If it's presented right it blows them away and it's so simple.

Mine would have to be Color Monte, its all of my friends favorite trick, and the cards are examible at the end. Its worth alot more thatn 4 bucks.

I couldnt agree more. Color monte is cheap and examinable. It gives huge reactions too, but mainly its a blast to perform

Here's my personnal top five effect:

1. Invisible deck
2. Stealth Pen / B2 Bomber
3. Killer Key
4. Scotch & Soda
5. Cups & Balls

The cups and balls is not only one of the best close up routines but is also one of the best tricks in magic. It is a classic that will be around as long as magic will be around. By the way my favorite close up effect is the 3 card monte (ungimmicked).

my favourite trick is the kinetikey, but there is one problem: if you hand it to spectators they may brake it

One of the bill switches. Hundy 500 or Visi-Bill.

borrow a specs change and perform any coins across.

One of my favorite non gimicked trick would be Torn or Triumph.

My favorite gimmicked trick would have to be Public Transit, Card Shark, or Stand up Monte.

My favorite trick is the one where a half naked girl jumps out of a box! I'm still saving up for that one :lol:

Seriously, any trick that uses something that I can leave with them as a keepsake is a great way to capture and remember the moment. It's also a great way to promote myself and get them to talk about what they experienced, because they have a tangible reminder of the event. Spectators will often keep a signed card or bill for years. I couldn't ask more from a trick.

Once I get my Sylvester Pitch routine down, it will probably be one of my favorite close-up effects.

Roll up your sleeves and...

I'll third the Color Monte... a lot of bang for the buck and totally examinable at the end.

A personal favorite:
You can also do a sponge ball routine and then proceed into a cups and balls routine with the sponges. Sometimes, I make the sponges change into solid, knit balls right under their noses with the first pass :shock:

and continue on. The switch is only essential if you want to "chop" it a little. It just depends on my mood as to which cups/balls routine I want to perform.

Nice thread,

I'll fourth Color monte, it is a great trick. I use two jokers and a ace. Instead of the colours, because I dont have the actual trick.

Scotch and Soda is AMAZING, I just wish it could be done consecutive times.
