I am off to a foreign country this week! For you magicians out there can you think of any simple to follow tricks that rely on very little to no speaking? Help me out and comment below!
Breaking the Language Barrier

Off the top of my head:
It doesn't have to be perfect, the locals will get what you mean and will appreciate the effort.
Visual magic is key and personally I typically start off with an ACR or 3 fly routine (with coins of the local currency if feasible). Card flourishes are a nice introduction and ITR work is really good too.

- The Crazyman's Handcuffs
- Coin Matrix Routine
- Ambitious Card
- Color Changes

I was also going to suggest Ambitious Card and 3 Fly.
Sponge Ball/Bunnies works too
Pen through dollar/Ultimate Shocking Pen
Maybe Cutting the Aces
Anything where the spectator signs a card

When I was in Honduras, I found I was able to use most of the material from Wilson's On the Spot, coin work, and most of my card material. Simply avoid complicated plots and effects that take a lot of explaining or make use of verbal cues (like 2 card monte for example) I'm sure you will have fun with the material you already do!
