Brainstorming, Brainworming by Jorg Willich  (Jorg Willich)

The game is simple: take a well-known effect as your starting point 
and vary its name using word or sound associations and also content 
variations. 

Actually everything is allowed, but in order not to get lost in thousands 
of possibilities, it's best to move along word and content associations 
slowly breaking new ground. Continue until you reach a new idea for 
an effect. This means you have to check the practicability of your new 
word-creations from time to time. An example:

Card on ceiling			Our starting point

Card on dealing			...

Card in ceiling			the card gets stuck in the ceiling

Card under ceiling			under ceiling? Perhaps "floor"

Card on floor			the card is found on the floor 
				behind the spectators?
Card under table			...

Card under table-leg		would be good for restaurants		

Floating table			wrong direction

Card in table-leg			...

Card in leg			Oouch.

Card in skin			...

Card in blood			...

Card in slime			...

Rubber card			...	

Melting card			Salvador Dali

Liquid card			lead?

Water card			...

Frozen card			not again

Frozen Pips			hmmm

Frozen cubes			...

Ice cubes.			Ice cubes having the form of card symbols 
				(pips) the number of cubes gives the value 
				... useful?

Bingo.

Bingo? - 				Bingoprediction-Bingocard-Bingo 
				in Box-Box á la card-Cardbox Card on ceiling

With some fooling around and practicing this results in . . .

The Ice-Cube Effect
