1. Biddle Trick - Simple Trick. Magic happens in their hands and transposition happens from your hands to theirs

2. a logical lesson - this requires some set-up. However, the reaction is better than all the other tricks that i have stated

3. Influential (original trick) - 4 jokers are shown. one visually changes into their card. Next, the other three are placed into the spectators hand where they change to a four of a kind. You are left absolutely clean. The deck is given to the spectator to hold throughout. No gimmicks are used. However, there is small set-up involved and 4 jokers are needed to make it look realistic

4. 2 card monte - Again magic happens in their hands and ends unexpectedly. (requires little set-up)

5. Among the discards - nice 'sandwich' trick where the sandwich occurs at unexpected place

Elmer Biddle invented the biddle trick. Originally named biddled across. Dick Ferguson also came up with the same trick and named it wow
 
Here's a few from the "impromptu list" that I perform on a regular basis:

Asher Twist – Lee Asher
Easy Ace Estimation - Creator undefined to my knowledge
Repro Retro - Bebel
Biddle Across Variation - Bebel
Everywhere & Nowhere - Bebel

Take care,
Jordan

I'll list 5 impromptu ones I like, but there are lots more

I'll name 5 that have not yet been mentioned so as to help get a greater variety of effects

Thought of cards across- Christopher Williams and Gary Jones's versions.
James Brown also has a great version called Brainless Travelers.

Card to pocket- James Browns version

Catalyst- Signed card transpo by Peter Harrison

Back to basics- Peter Harrison effect/routine

FU2- T&R by Sean Fields

James Brown's card opener is a great piece

I think most of his stuff from Still Fancy a Pot of Jam is great material
