I think (using my extremely developed mentalism skills), that it has something to do with a trick that you do (did) a thousand times, aka. your favorite trick to perform maybe? Something like that... Or it could be something completely different
Correct, your skills seem to be very well honed!!!I think (using my extremely developed mentalism skills), that it has something to do with a trick that you do (did) a thousand times, aka. your favorite trick to perform maybe? Something like that... Or it could be something completely different
It is a trick you always perform and one you have taken the time to master
Sorry for not explaining

Anyways, I have like thousand of Thousand Timers (see what I did there?). Invisible Deck, 3 Card Monte (couple of versions), Chicago Opener, Crazy Man's Handcuffs, Dr. Daily's Last Trick, Fairytale Frogs, Duplicity... Probably couple more, but those will suffice
Mine is The Last Trick of Dr Jacob Daley.
I've probably performed it close to a thousand times (no exaggeration) in the past 12 years. If asked to "do a trick" then 9+ times out of 10 that's the trick I'll do.
Four cards from the deck is less intimidating than 54 (I keep my Jokers) for a first trick with strangers, and easier to follow I feel.
I can do the actions in my sleep. But I vary the pace and some in-line joking depending on my audience; as well as potentially 2 follow-up phases depending on how attentive/interested they are. [When I was tending bar a few years ago for a couple of years, I encountered a large variation in attention spans you know!]
So for me, it's simple to execute, and becomes all about my performance and inter-play with whomever I'm performing for. Perfect! =)
