Mindpunisher, I had the exact same idea of an all cards routine and I highly reccommend Patrick Redfords shape series for some really outside the box ideas, namely Triangle and Square. The routines accomplish not only the idea of the performer being the mentalist, but the spectators as well in most cases which, to me, is one of the best experience a truely mental performer can do. Of course as I mentioned in another post, also check out cerebral steal by James Brown which not only is an impressive display of amnesia and memory loss, but also possibly the cleanest thought of card revelation I have seen in mentalism

One of my favorite offerings from Mick Ayers is called Hoodwinkings. It's the first act in the series and is designed to run about 25 minutes. Powerful material where the cards are incidental props (as they should be) on your shared discovery with the audience. You can easily drop one or two of the effects to get the running time down to a cozy 10 minutes, or add an extra effect or two to beef up the length of the show.
It is excellent material.

I, too, have been thinking about putting together a mentalism/mental magic show with mainly cards. This would not be for my typical performances, rather something to do when I am invited to a party by friends and asked if I can perform something.
I have a three-phase routine I call Transmission Lines, and it is my opener and uses two spectators, the second one comes in the third phase: 1. The first is an Open Prediction-type effect where I send a thought to spectator 2. The second is where the spectator picks a card and sends me a thought 3. Osterlind/Corinda Great Minds Think Alike: Spectator No. 1 sends a thought to Spectator No. 2 (uses a pad of paper) Osterlind Dynamo Deck set 4. Cards in Pocket 5. Test Conditions 6. Radar Deck Final Set 7. PreDeck Ability (Aldo Colombini) 8. Mockingbird (my handling) 9. Spectator as Mentalist (Ted Lesley) Bobby p.s. If you wanted to keep it all cards, then Great Minds Think Alike can be replaced with Gemini Twins.

No true Scotsman sucks at card magic #logicalfallacy
My tip is get hold of Ahead of the Pack by Lewis Jones and Jack Avis - a brilliant book full of practical entertaining card magic, much of it mental in theme, and just in general, one of my favourite magic books ever. Phill

Rather then starting a new topic I will post here. I am looking for a stage size set of good quality playing cards for BCS effect.
I found these huge cards but they may be too hard to handle at 8" by 12": http://www.puzzlemethis.com/cgi-bin/puzzle/USG81366 Anyone familiar with the above or a different size, please advise. Thanks G
