Favourite self-working trick ?

Gambit_x · Apr 9, 2009

I'm just curious if many of you use these tricks in your performances. What are your favorites ?
Mine i would have to say is the Invisible reverse, not sure why i just think it's fun and easy

As Aaron says, there are no self working tricks.

But anyway, my favourite "Self working trick" would have to be Search and Destroy.

Exact Location, pg 145

Those who know, know what I mean, those who don't are missing out.

Long live mnemosyne, muse sublime.

As they said, there are no self working tricks but the closest that I have is effective aces by syd segal and I have a performance on youtube right below me. I'm better at it now after practicing more.

Sorry guys I do agree there is no such thing I guess i should of said Insanely easy as far as sleights go, Tricks that you can really concentrate on performance instead of slights.

I believe that would be Andrew Gerards Extraordinary Proof.

I would say Route 66 by Alvo Stockman. GREAT reactions, easiest trick ever. Greatest sandwitch routine ever done.

My performance of it for a live crowd was Week 1 of the PopChris Project, which is the link in my signature. It has a lot of differences from most sandwitch effects contrary to popular belief.

But regardless, most stuff in old books is good, selfworking material.

I know what you mean.

Good to know I'm not the only one who uses it.
