• Unlock a car of any make by merely pointing at it. 
• Tangle a rubber band so impossibly Mobius himself would give you a funny look.

• Drop a borrowed coin into your drink, bringing the liquid to a boiling froth, then spoon out the coin severely bent like a used bottle cap.
• Turn a pack of cards to solid stone, splitting like a rock when you drop it. 
• Automatically switch decks under the noses of your audience, using subtlety rather than sleight-of-hand. 
• Pluck the petals from a daisy, ending on she loves me not, then blow on the flower, making one petal reappear - she loves me!
