    I know a really nice Docc Hilford one.

    The effect is you take a money note of the an audience member, put it in an envelope. Two other envelopes have bits of newspaper in them. Mix the envelopes together and randomly hand them out to three audience members. Then you show three working lighters and hand them out, one to each envelope holder. The audience members then try to light there envelope. One won't catch fire. When it's opened it contains the money. The lighter is demonstrated to work, the spectator just couldn't burn the money!!!

    Another funny one would be the multiplying money one in mark wilson's complete course. Ask someone to work out how much tax you should be paying on your magically appearing cash!!!

    The only number trick I can think of off the top of my head is the 1024 trick. Do you know it? Or will I PM it to you?

    It's a simple little piece of mathematic mentalism often thought in introductory books to magic.
