How about rose from napkin? Just a thought. Then you could also have a bouquet of roses on the table and hand out individual roses to every woman at the event.

I'm thinking sponge bunnies. It does end with mama bunny and daddy bunny making baby bunnies.

Good suggestions, both.

You could do an interesting transposition or card change with a blank card, with happy mothers day written on it!

Or if their children are there, you can do some mentalism trick talking about the connection between mothers and their children, having them choose the same card, or something along those lines.

Mothers Day Idea

1- Do a tatto like this...

http://t2.ftcdn.net/jpg/00/12/49/05/400_F_12490524_73O4VhUp42C7m8AVxRGOrdWfm7PSWUTT.jpg

2- Force the ace of hearts by your favourite method

3- Show them the Tatto with the big heart

They will faint with the surprise and coincidence...

that's all

For a couple, Doc Eason's Anniversary Waltz is also an excellent choice.

I also love anniversay waltz....however, I prefer something along the lines of...well, not sure if it was Carl Andrews or Gregory Wilson. Uses blank on both sides cards. that's where I got the idea, and then put together a routine. I like the blank cards better. no numbers or suits...or anything....the names are all that matters

I was thinking Doc Easons Birthday Card effect with Happy Mothers Day written on the backs.

Yours In Magic

Anniversary waltz is always a guaranteed success but ive found (through much trial and less error) that the cocktail napkin rose is just as if not better, both are phenomenal effects. I love the idea of using blank cards for the waltz effect however I'm concerned that using blank card takes away from the organic feel of the illusion. really would depend on the spectator and the presentation I guess
