I'd suggest deciding on the context of your performance first, and then the rest will fall into place more easily.
Who are you as a Performer? What do you want the audience the think about you and about what you are doing? If you think about these questions, and then stay within the structure of what you decide, it will inform you as to which effects will work best for you. - entity

I only do one effect (mindreading) but there are many different ways I can do it.

There are many performers who have built up their entire reputation on the basis of one effect.

4 isn't Many. I'd even question those 4...
Geller does design dupes, compass moving, seed sprouting, teleportations, remote viewing, predictions, blindfold driving, pencil moving and dowsing as well as metal bending. Cayce wasn't what I'd call a performer. He made most of his money as an author, I believe. Reese was a psychic reader in one on one situations, more than a public performer. He made a reputation amongst psychics and magicians, but very few in the general public know his name today. Kuda Bux lived in an era when a performer could perfect one 12 or 20 minute act and make a living their entire life doing just that on a vaudeville or variety artist's circuit. Those days are long gone. I can't think of any hugely famous modern day mentalism performer who is a "one trick pony". To become enormously successful or well known today requires television exposure, and the modern public's appetite for new material wouldn't allow for too much of the same thing. - entity

You got to have some special talent to misspeal 2 names one after another.

Is that one of the routines he sent to the new Geller show?
And I meant to write misspell of course.. I feel ironic today. |

I think it depends on how you break down 'effects'. I do a version of of three envelope test (or 4DT as it was later referred too), to me that counts as three effects in itself. Three outcomes from the same routine. So if we could 4DT as 3 effects then in my 45 minute show I do 5 effects. (7 if you split 4DT in to 3 effects of course).

FOABT, DCOABT, 2 playing card effects Glenn Gravitt ripped off and published 1/2 century ago, NWOOTW, a Slop-Shuffle Triumph effect utilizing earlier selections, my variation on Paul Harris's Grasshopper, a fascinating ESP card effect sold as "Triperception" by EZ but older than that (ripped off). All effects empower audience and participants. My framework sets that condition first. I am having spectacular fun playing and working with Roth's Reflections for future inclusion as well as recent material offered by Jim Callahan, Jack Galloway, Tony I, Patrick Redford and Lord of the Horses. Greg Arce's contribution to PS2 is inspirational and I have Tarot effects from a number of sources (Waters, Minch, etc.) I have been polishing for seven years for eventual audience worthiness.
