Teach the Teacher

[Jacob L]

Hey guys! I was hoping I could get some help here.
So my English teacher gave us this assignment to "teach the teacher." We basically pick a topic, and teach the class about something the teacher doesn't know about. I want to do something with magic. I originally was going to do the history of playing cards since I find that pretty interesting, but I know that there are some effects out there in which you "teach" the effect to the audience, when it's really an effect in itself with a twist ending. So my question is what are some effects like this and/or what is a good reference to find these kind of effects?

Thanks!

Jacob

I'm sorry, I forgot to mention I have around only two weeks to prepare, I'm not sure if that effect could be performed well in that short time of practice. I appreciate the help though, anything else?

Dude, the effect is stupid simple, and the props cost less than 10 bucks at your local walmart/ target

Get Caleb Wiles Fully Automatic card trick, it would be perfect for this type of thing.
