Card to mouth
Jay Sankey's Bigger Finish
Jay Sankey's Paperclipped.
For closers I like to think of tricks that ruin a card, because usually those are the ones that are really crazy.

It depends on what else you've done throughout your show. Maybe an idea of what you're trying to achieve with the effect will help determine what will fit best.
And by show, do you mean small routine or a full-length show? It makes a difference.
Some ideas for bigger tricks:
Signed cards across (in envelopes if you'd like)
Tossed Out Deck can work
I'm not sure what else to suggest.

I agree with Rik. What you've done leading up to the end is going to be a big factor because you don't want to be redundant or if you have a theme going you don't want to directly break from that theme.
An example:I have a routine of card effects with a mental vibe:
-An impromptu, fully examinable version of Sankey's Resistance is Futile. It's quick, interactive and the climax of it is intriguing.
-Daniel Madison's Bad Influence but with the third selection I actually write down which card I want them to pick, fold it up and have another person hold the paper. I tell the third person I'm going to try to send the card to them etc. For the first two revelations I read off what card I told them to pick and then reveal the card they chose to match it. And for the final revelation I first reveal the card that the person picked and then have the person holding the piece of paper unfold it and read it out loud. It gives the whole effect that much more of a mental feel and adds an in your hands edge to the final climax.
-I will close with Sankey's Shuffle Cut Deal. Because it seems so fair and absolutely impossible.
I'm thinking of switching Shuffle Cut Deal with Bad Influence because Bad Influence takes the most time but I'm still on the fence about it. At any rate you can see each effect is presented with a different mental effect in mind. The first being me forcing them to choose a specific card, the second being the spectators unconsciously choosing the exact card I told them to with the final spectator appearing to have read my mind, picking the exact card that I merely thought of. The final effect being me successfully predicting three cards under completely fair, seemingly impossible conditions. Through the performance I'll drop hints about another effect that I may do but I'm not sure of yet. So at the end if they really seem hungry to see one more thing I'll put the deck away and finish with Stigmata.

anything big, but not too exciting. ie. I would not use an effect using flash paper, at the same time, I wouldn't make it too calm and use a elmsley count story trick. I would go for something possibly self working where the spec does it, or two card monte. Either you don't do anything and let them do the self working trick which specs always love. Or you hit them with something really hard like two card monte.
