Hello......brain storming on some tricks, routines that might reflect a secret agent magician. Any thoughts

First thought is clothing quick changes.

If you want to play comical, something as simple as a daylight seance cloth could let you put on fake noses, mustaches, glasses, etc.

A certain amount of mentalism can be framed as body reading skills or deduction. That might be closer to a detective, but if you use a PIN divination to find the combo to a lock to get your information, that could have some secret agent vibe.

Escapes. Of course.

That’s all I have right now. What did you already get?

I have a radioactive marked mirror box to produce items out of before doing a walking through steel illusion routined to a mission impossible type music. Some really good thoughts in your post.

If you come up with the right presentations, many items could work. A himber wallet for instance. Do a Goggle search and look up real spy gadgets or look at old James Bond films.

My first Bond memory is of him swimming up in a wetsuit, and walking out of the water and taking it off to have a white tux underneath.
That image. Turned into a quick change, perhaps using a large, unfolded map/daylight seance, I think, would set your theme up spectaularly!

I started playing with an idea where a secret code used to identify a card gets deciphered using the Budhha Envelopes.

Peter Turner has a great take on this using a frixion pen. He teaches this in a few of his lectures, it's a presentational variation of his "peekaboo" move, where he talks about wanting to be a secret agent as a kid. Today as a mentalist, he uses these same kind of interrogation skills, and he'll show you what he means. Then he divines a chosen word, name, etc.

It should be in one of his Vanishing Inc masterclasses, Ellusionist courses, and a few other places.

I used Tenyo's Mister Danger with a story that it was a prop for an idea that turned in to the famous laser scene in James Bond's Goldfinger.
