Has anyone heard of the other deck put out by Magic realm productions called cerebral manipulation?
A two card effect, one card is a mental selection of any card
no limitations. The other is physically selected.
Mentalist draws a number and pip on card case and the both are correct.

Jon,
Just a personal preference.

And nothing "copped" either.

And how could that be?

Although an old thread, you could incorporate the silent treatment by John Allen in a routine. Just modify it by having a card forced from a normal deck.

I will admit that I can do a convincing pass;however, the CUT PASS I learned from the Kaufmann DVD has worked very well for me. I simply say, "Most magicians could simply cut right to your card.....I didn't say I could..I said most..." then I proceed on accordingly like "most magician...

For those who like this idea, you might find the review from Peter duffie interesting: I intended to post this on one of two Dream Deck threads that I had read a few weeks ago. But one of the threads is now locked, and the other thread appears to now be an invisible thread. So, this is not intended ...

If cards, I'd probably do Royal scam followed by Back in Time combined with Paperclipped.

And you can do a card rise with a small packet of cards, no strings, no magnets, nothing to find either.

Dan Harlan teaches one that has to be the easiest one ever.
It sounds perfect and is not done on a table.

My favorite is Dan Harlan's "Hold it Buster" for a stand up show and Bannon's "Call of the Wild" for table hopping. My last show, I got 4 rounds of applause while performing the Harlan effect. COW IMHO is the perfect hopping effect since it has a great story line and reset is aut...

I agree 100%
Some will purchase this assuming ,on title alone, it is Mr. Farmer's wonderful effect.

At this point at time, Hold it Buster.
Reason being, the last show I did I got 4 rounds of applause.

Flynn,

Hope this helps.

My current closer for a show is signed card inside egg inside a chicken. For close up, back in time or think, touch, and turn.

I love Wonder' presentation and ratonalle for bringing out a "packet" of cards!

I saw an interesting review by Peter Duffie on the magic cafe regarding a think of a card effect called the dream deck.

I have to give a thumbs up for STENO ESP and with some clever thinking, you could show as having all the pages blank as a convincer.

How about dejazoo? The puppet could draw the animals.
The 1st time I performed it for kids, it did not go over well. The next time, I had the kids make animal noises which made it alot more fun for them and me :)

Osterlind take using a steno index pad is something to consider.
Besides not looking like a prop, you reveal the weakest prediction first.
My favorite effect at this point at time is Larry becker's casino royale.
