This is one of those effects that requires nothing from the performer but acting and the simple memorization of one very easy card move (that you talk the spectator through during a deal). The pictures on the cards are very common household items so you can easily add more items to the outcome possibilities and have this trick turn out several different ways. It does include three items so you are ready to perform out of the box, but I changed a few of the items for close-to-hand objects (dice, gum, superglue, etc) so the outcome was never the same.

While this may not be something you do as a closer, it's very strong to laymen (magicians may not be fooled by what you've done, but it's possible if you are slick enough). I love the ease of this effect and the way it ends up with items the spectators have seen and probably used before so there is a connection there for them to see the ordinary used in a magical way.
