My routine, "Unfazed" is one my my favorite self-working tricks. In the video, I use ESP cards, but the routine could just as easily be done with playing cards.

Aldo Colombini have my vote for self-working.
Jumbo Coincidence and Contact Colors are 2 good examples. Comercial, killer and self-working.

Aldo Colombini's Contact Colors is indeed a great effect, although it does require quite a set-up, and some of its phases can be a bit convoluted and lengthy. But it can be mind-blowing if done well, and it's hard to believe that it is self-working.

Lennart Green's Stolen Cards and the classic trick where you get the spectator to select 10 cards, tear them in half, shuffle the two face-down torn piles and then use the 'will the cards match' technique to match the torn half cards up up. Apologies, I can't recall the name of the originator/creator.

Thank you for this list. Where can the Richard Vollmer and Hamilton effects be found if you don't mind sharing?
Best Wishes.

With all due respect, I found the comment to be unduly mean and unfounded. Surely, there is a lot in the literature that is totally unknown to most practitioners, but there are also some excellent contemporary specimens. I see no reason to disparage them.

Oh, and by no means do I intend to "disparage" anyone. I see no reason for you to have made that statement.

Harry, it could reasonably be taken by the context in which your statement was made, that the routines listed in the previous post didn't represent "the good stuff" from your vantage point. That's the part that struck me as unduly disparaging. Sorry if I misinterpreted or mischaracterized your intentions. It happens to me almost every day online.
