Sometimes I come across gimmicks and effects in mentalism which, because they're so ingenious and sneaky, just make me laugh.
One set of such gimmicks probably at this point ought to be kept in a climate-controlled glass case in some "Museum of Mentalism" (which, if it doesn't already exist, should!), since they were apparently made by Joseph Dunninger himself. The gimmicks can be seen Here! What are some other gimmicks, props and/or effects which likewise were so clever that you actually laughed out loud when you found out about them?

Osterlind's "Change of Mind" is definitely so ingenious. And about every thing Ted Lesley has, made me gasp when I read the secret.
Thanks! Scott B.

Derren Brown's card prediction on his Devil's Picturebook tape. If I remember, it's called something like Extreme Mental Effort.
The explanation had me shaking my head laughing for days. Jack Shalom
