Hey all. I am once again feeling the urge to bring my TT out. I do almost all my magic at the local bar where we gather with friends several times per week, so I'm looking for effects to do which use organic props and fit into this casual context.

The stuff that comes to mind is basically, broken and restored toothpick, or torn and restored tissue. The latter I would probably prefer to just do with sleight of hand. When I've looked into TT effects that go beyond vanishing a tiny silk, I haven't found much that resonates with me. But I can nonetheless feel the untapped potential of this classic prop.

What are your favorite effects to perform when casually out and about with a TT in your pocket?

I'm searching for a peek to use for a card removed from the deck. I've assembled several great peeks which I use when riffling through the pack, etc. But for this specific purpose, I need the spectator to go through the deck, remove a card of their choice, and then I need to peek that card (the card will be returned to the deck)

I realize there are simple methods here such as shuffling it to the bottom, peeking it, and then shuffling it into the middle. If you're going to suggest a method like this, please give details for your favorite series of moves instead of vague suggestions.

I'm looking to use this for a mentalism presentation, so I'd prefer it to look as "hands-off" as possible. Thank you!
