Here is a trick I actually use in Perception class. I usually throw it in during the color section:

The decks are reasonably priced and the trick is easy to learn. It always gets them. I think it also can work when you want to explain how expectations influence perception. The deck is tricky because the viewer is expecting a "pick any card" - type trick and no one expects the deck to change color. People also have expectations about what a card deck should be and have great difficulty getting their minds out of the box in order to figure out what appears to be an easy trick.
