I know lots of us try and avoid proffering a fanned deck and asking someone to pick a card.
What other stock lines do you try and avoid and why?
My personal bugbear is "let's take it a step further". It might just be me - but referring to the next phase of an effect you are doing as "a step further" psychologically takes away a little of the spontaneity and magic for whomever is watching, it puts in mind a rote series of actions that have been memorised and that things are just going through motions.
