Right now I use the Redemption gimmick (by Chris Ballinger) as a closer in my acr ( using my own routine, where the vanished card appears in my shoe). But I'm curious as to what you guys do to close your routine?
I think PH's Solid Deception is one of the best endings to any card routine. It's so surprising!
I share the same thoughts as many other magicians - the trick is missing a visual element. Jay Sankey shared a cool, interesting solution on his Extremely Ambitious DVD. My idea results in the deck becoming tightly wrapped in electrical tape. The method allows you to not only hide the true condition of the deck, but you can still insert and remove cards from it. If you're interested, you can read about it in the June, 2009 issue of MAGIC.
Nobody mentioned the bent card? That's always great for the climax.
Also I usually do a pass (face up) right before the last phase and before that, card to mouth (or vise versa).
I went backwards there .
I usually do that but I don't have a rule I more feel the situation.

Jeff - Was the electrical-tape wrapped deck also in one of the editions of Reel Magic? I know I've seen it somewhere, but I also know I've never read Magic Magazine.
