agusbudi,

Check out Overworked Card, The Collectors, Between your palms, Triumph, Cannibal cards, etc.

There are many versions out there, of course, the items that I listed above some you may find from other sources that are used gimmicks and non-gimmicks.

But, if you would like to find for non-gimmick materials, I urge you focus to more on British or Scottish card magic such as Peter Duffie, Jerry Sadowitz, Stephen Tucker, Gordon Bruce, Dave Campbell, Alex Elmsley, Roy Walton card stuffs. ;)

Dr Daley's last trick,
Vernon's Twisting the aces
2 card monte
Triumph

Check out Jay Sankey's Back in time (triumph effect). Very good reactions! :)

Double backers won't hurt...
have a selection controlled to the top....with the double backer waiting, tucked onto your shoe.....***magic***

there is one I quite like , Card-Toon from Penguin Magic , Pick a card and show the card to the stickman that is drawn to the blue color side of the card...and then Riffle through the cards slowy and the stickman there will find the card that have been selected, quite a nice effect and humorous, but the deck can only be used for one trick. You need some preparations though, draw some cartoons on the card deck... :) but it's quite cute...did that to some of my younger cousins and they love it some much... :D

agusbudi,

Ok, if you want to perform easier card magic and would like to fry the spectator's minds and eyes, try Stage Shout. It's based on Jerry Sadowitz "Whispering Queens" effect. ;)

Oh yeah, another one to add to the list here, though the effect is not impromptu, need simple setup, the effect kills namely "Worlds Apart", I performed this at the magic ring 1st time, for those guys saw me did this, they will know what I mean.

It's based on though quite similar to Out to this world kind of plot.

Andrew, is the Jerry Sadowitz effect in his Cards on Table book?

And can you tell where the other tricks that you mentioned can be learnt /found??

Nice to hear from you Eric. ^_^

Would love to hear more from you. ;)

My new impromptu publish card effect "The Collectors", very visual piece of card effect (It's a very popular card plot), "21 Collectors", a freely name and stop ant any number of cards, the selection is sandwiched in between 4 mates and can be signed.

"Flight on Stage", 2 spectator each selects a card and place on the table. The selection is place in between the 2 Kings, it vanishes and reappear again the the 2 Kings. The selection is place in the centre of the pack, it appears back again in the Kings pile. Performer takes the table second selection and sandwiched in between the 2 Kings. It vanishes completely and it's sandwiched in between the 2 red Kings. These 2 effects would be my future releases in a booklet form. ;)

Best Wishes,
Andrew ^_^

Andrew ,

the card that you said effect is very great , this is what i tried to said, audience r unexpected that coming out the effect that u r performing . Cause sometime like u perform ambitious card magic , as you tell them the card put in the middle then jumps on top again , n u do it 3 to 4 times they will get bored to it . That is y you can at some sudden n unexpected effect not jump on top again may be appear in the audience pocket or wat so ever lah !!!!! (Especially make some joke of it )
I think it would be more intresting on the tricks n audience will be remember n remind in their mind ever n ever !!!!!!

Pentagram book teaches variations of Snap Change and also in By forces Unseen, a Goldin change which quite similar to Snap change but it's cool in terms of the angle of it.
