BEST Self Working Card Trick with No Setup / Gimmicks

I Know only "Devastation" and "4,5,6 Paket Trick" which seems similar. Are they any other ones that are amazing and requiered NO SETUP,NO SLEIGHTS OF HANDS or any other Gimmicks. Or Card Tricks which are completely handled by the Spectator ?

Thank you for your Attention !

You can read Self-working Card Tricks and More Self-working Card Tricks by Karl Fulves (Dove edition). There are one hundred tricks. Take your choice.

Oh! Yes! It's a terrific trick.

I want to see one of this Trick on DVD,when somebody is explain this.

How about Jim Steinmeyer's "Nine-Card Trick"?

You can find it in Impuzzibilities published in 2002.

I use two self working/ semi automatic card tricks.
both require a setup however I'm mentioning one of them here because I am aware of a method of doing it without a setup.

Mockingbird by Max Maven. It requires a full deck stack, however it is (in my opinion) completely worth it.
Mick Ayres published a method not requiring a stack in one of his "Acts" manuscripts. The effect was called Hummingbird and i believe it is in Predictabilities. Although it is different in both method and effect, he presents it using Mavens presentation for Mockingbird.
I think the presentation is what makes both of these effects stand out.


In case any one is interested, the other self working/semi auto trick i perform is Neither Blind Nor Stupid by Tamariz.
