Best tricks for webcam?

[Slyper]

Hi guys,

One of my best friends had travelled for his holiday. We speak on skype, and he really likes magic tricks, and I show him several tricks through webcam such as Bill Breaker by Bizarro or the Solving Rubiks cube. Do you have any tricks that looks cool on webcam?

Hey Slyper,

• MacDonald's Aces/Dream of Aces
• Color Monte
• Pressure

Would all be pretty good for a webcam.

Tricks that can tell a story are a safe bet also, since you don't have the luxury of direct interaction with the person you're performing for.

Alex Elsmley's Down Under Deal can be found in Joshua Jay's Magic the Complete course. It works great over Skype.

Along the same lines is John Gustafero's effect Little White Lie. These are both mentalism effects that can be performed over the phone or Skype witout worrying about a camera glitch freezing right when you flash a gimmick.
