When someone hands you a deck of cards and says show me a trick what are the 3 strongest effects you can do with a normal deck with minimal setup (setup you can do in front of the spectator without a lot of suspicain) these tricks can be standup, or using a table.

1) 2 card monte
2) ambitous card
3) triumph

Gymnastic Aces (LePaul)

Triumph (Vernon, original handling, but with a spread display after the initial shuffle to show the mix)

Card to Forehead, but with my Sting Removal line ("Don't feel bad - think of how I feel having to do THIS <point to card on forehead> for a living!") Then, as they laugh, change the card and watch them REALLY freak out!

4D card
card to mouth- Only some forms of doing it. If you have to put the deck in you mouth to get the card in, go with card to forehead.
Sub-Mariner Card by Bruce Cervon( a card through wallet type routine)
Rob Pond

Depends on my mood, situation and the condition of the deck.

"Homing Card" Carlysle, or a stand-up Triumph.
"Twisting the Aces" Vernon.
"Too Many Cards" Dingle variation.

ACR
Triumph
Mercury

if I am not sitting down , I think I would replace triumph with CAAN by Daniel Garcia.
what Jaz said goes for me as well. it depends on my mood. sometimes I just do a gambling routine I use. but those 3 are some effects I use a lot

1) ACR
2) Las Vegas Leaper (PH)
3) Hardcore Packet (Sanders)

1) Reset
2) Cards Across (I use Bill Malone's version)
3) ACR/Ego

Weighing the Aces
Biddle Trick
Out of this World (Impromptu Version)

Normally I like to do Card to Mouth with my own deck, but don't think I would do it with spectator's deck.
