Are you actually being serious? ACR ( Ambitious Card Routine ) is one of the most well know, common, card magic tricks with magicians. It is the trick that fooled Houdini, and nearly every notable magician that uses cards has their own variation of it.

I don't know what it's called, but two people pick cards from separate decks, sign them, and both cards are the same...and belong in the others deck.

Hey, how can you be a magician without knowing ambitious card? - No offence.
But I think it is the very first trick anyone would start magic at.

I'm more into individual sleights than full routines (and to be fair, most of my favourite routines are gimmicked).  I'll just say the push-off second deal, I think it looks beautiful.  NIGHTMARE to do, though.  I can just about get away with the strike second deal; the push-off is nuts.  I'm not giving up till I get it, though.
