If you're able to plant someone into the audience - you can do a few prediction tricks with any deck of cards (selected card appearing on opposite side of glass and such). Takes some practice and some patter, but has a nice effect on the crowd if done well.

All you need is:

Playing Cards (2 decks)
Magicians wax would be ideal, but those sticks on clear glue will work in a pinch (you will need to replace your card decks more often using glue sticks)
Reliable help (someone who has ok vision, and can be discreet)
Some patter to keep the crowds attention for 30ish seconds
A plate glass window or door to throw your cards against.

Email me for the details if you cannot see how the trick unravels...
