    Default Character concept Brainstorming - Magician

    Okay team, I'm building a character for an odd RPG campagin.

    I'll be playing a stereotypicaly bad magician. Like one that would be a kids birthday party.

    For some reason he will have working magic based on those terrible tricks.

    Now, the system is a bit of a home brew, but I need some help brainstorming what you would call some terrible magic tricks.

    I likely won't be able to take them all, but I'm sure I will build a list to grow into.

    So far I have:
    summon small animal's from his hat.
    Grow plants from his black and white wand.
    pickpocket skills.
    Now, Back to Lurking!

    - I should follow this advice more often.

    I like the idea. Let's see... maybe like a rope trick? Possibly combined with the classic "endless line of napkins"? Maybe something with baloon animals? That might be more of a clown thing but it could probably work. Some sort of card trick? Maybe throwing them Gambit-style? Sawing a lady in half? Might be more of a stage act than a birthday party one and I'm not sure what it could be used for but still...

    +"I've got your nose!" and other similar tricks
    (Your choice on whether it is an illusion or a transmutation)

    +"I'm guessing your card is the 3 of heart!"
    (Shared perception to see through the eyes of someone else? Some kind of weird vision that allows you to see through the card to know what's on the other side? Divination magic?)

    +Having a pocket dimension in your mouth so that you can store objects safely.

    +Having hands able to go through objects (getting out of handcuffs, ...)
