Okay, you have only 3-5 minutes to be on stage or parlor and impress the audience.
This could actually be an audition. Lighting is not great and you have no control over the logistics. What effect(s) would you perform?

The PK silverware phase where the spec bends the fork. Then, break a fork. End with Maven's Autome.

Do one thing well. It's mentalism.
KK version where people pass the invisible cards around or Drawing dupe based on Osterlinds ODDS or Pulse stop Based on the idea that you said 3-5, with a high possiblity of it being actually 3, you've only got time for one effect really so do something straight and to the point How about Visa Cabaret a la Marc Paul version or Name/Place - Cassidy If it was STAGE then I'd go for some dual reality stuff like Touching On Hoy There's such a difference with what can be done parlour vs stage that your question is a bit contradictory!

BevBev and all,
Thanks for this all. I can tell you I already have performed Name/Place and Autome for this very same venue with the limited time. Name/Place went well but I think more audience involvement would have been better. Perhaps dividing the room in half and one half thinks of name and other half place. Then pick one from left and one from right. Thin use it for telepathy experiment or remote viewing. Pulse stop: This is killer and great idea. The only problem I had was once a nurse held my wrist too long, she wanted my pulse to stop til it killed me I think. I had carpo tunnel syn for months. I guess I put this out there cause I actually have a gig where I do a few minutes on parlor type stage prior to a woman who has been on Jay Leno. I've had some problems lately with drunken helpers and people who don't understand what top line on a book test mean (Autome). Yeah I know, better spectator management and all. Not all their blame, logisitics (wired microphone, lack of mobility) and my fault mostly. I have learned my lesson I think. Do something that is fail safe (balloon animals thanks H.O.A.X). Ive done 4th Dimensional and it went well. Passing out the envelopes even for three people and instructions took a little too much time since I have to be very specific and elementary these days. PCT/CT has been mixed, some are drunk and cant remember where to write, bad lighting for rest, Im 1 for 3 there:( BCS Card Calling is basically fool proof as long as spectator knows what a card is (Im not kidding). Kurotsuke another doable option. Thanks for listening, needed to vent.

I would suggest the spoon bend from Jay Sankey's 22 blows to the head. You wrap a spoon in a napkin and hand it to a spectator. Then a spoon is drawn on a business card and the bowl initialed and the card held. Then you say you will bend the spoon, and low and behold the pic of the spoon that was initialed is bent now. Oh and so is the spoon in the napkin they are holding.
The book is GREAT and this is only one of the great items in it. Nice thing is that in 5 minutes you get great laughs, as well as a great mentalisim effect.
