Peedlkyle New user I live in my house 98 Posts Posted: Jan 1, 2003 11:25am          When you are just going about your everyday life, not doing street magic, what do you keep on you for magic. I keep a deck of cards on me ALWAYS, but what other things do you keep without being too bulky? On the other hand, you have different fingers. afknight Elite user 489 Posts Posted: Jan 1, 2003 11:59am          In addition to a deck of cards, I always carry Kohler's Ultimate 3 Fly, Acer's Spare Change coin set, 2 sponge balls, a quarter loaded in each of my shoes for a Danny Archer impromptu coin vanish routine, and a wallet (hip pocket) which is both a card to wallet and a switch wallet and contains Max Howard's Dollar Monte, Burger's $5 and $1 bill transposition and the Wonderland bill. Finally, I have a pen through anything and Watch and Wear. None of these items are bulky and they are things a normal person would have on (shoes, wallet, watch, coins) with the exception of sponge balls. JSMagic Loyal user Boston 202 Posts Posted: Jan 1, 2003 1:41pm          I carry scotch and soda (do it for a very interested person because tis not an instant reset) hopping halves, a deck of cards, *deluxe* pen thru anything, lol- sponge balls (4 kids) and matchbox penetration (That one is a little heavy, but a great trick) Josh If a magician is not intending to "trick" a spectator, why is every "trick" called a magic "trick"? bigchuck Veteran user Nothing clever has ever been said in my 400 Posts Posted: Jan 1, 2003 2:24pm          Cards, half dollars, thumb tip, handkerchief, the ole reliable folding coin, and a little invisible thread can go a long way. And they require almost no set up. "The computer can't tell you the emotional story. It can give you the exact mathematical design, but what's missing is the eyebrows. - Frank Zappa" Paul Sherman Inner circle Washington, DC 1511 Posts Posted: Jan 1, 2003 3:07pm          I used to carry a deck of cards and a small coin purse with me everywhere. Now I only carry cards and only some of the time. Paul "The finished card expert considers nothing too trivial that in any way contributes to his success..." Erdnase some youtube videos marko Inner circle 2111 Posts Posted: Jan 1, 2003 3:23pm          I used to never be without a deck of cards in my pocket. But I'm sane now. Thought: Why does man kill? He kills for food. And not only food: frequently there must be a beverage. Andrew E. Miller Inner circle Southern California 1428 Posts Posted: Jan 1, 2003 3:55pm          A deck, a sharpie, some coins, my card to wallet, and my time machine watch. If you get bored go to www.a-miller.idz.net and watch some magic. -Andrew NoahJLevine Regular user 142 Posts Posted: Jan 1, 2003 4:31pm          I only carry playing cards. I would think that it would be weird in an informal situation to start pulling out coins and sponge balls and rubber bands even though you can do some great tricks with them. NoahLEvine tankk New user 55 Posts Posted: Jan 1, 2003 4:31pm          A deck, some coins, and what ever gimmick I'm playing with at the time. Kevin jesuban New user USA 23 Posts Posted: Jan 1, 2003 5:01pm          A deck of cards, with the 9 of spades prepared for "Card Warp." A Penny, to perform Greg Wilson's 11 cent trick. Two rubberbands for Crazy Man's Handcuffs. Darren Roberts Loyal user 222 Posts Posted: Jan 1, 2003 10:16pm          It's not much, but I always keep spare coins on me "just in case". I owe Bobo a lot My second choice for carrying around magic "just in case" is a deck of cards. Some mornings it just doesn't seem worth it to gnaw through the leather straps. - Emo Phillips Elijahhenry New user 63 Posts Posted: Jan 1, 2003 11:55pm          I always have 2 Svengali decks, a regular deck, four halves, scotch and soda and sponge balls. I used to be a Boy Scout, so I'm "always prepared." You know what? In addition to my reg. stuff I always have "Aviator" Mirage, Svengali and Reg. Deck. E. Henry S2000magician Inner circle Yorba Linda, CA 3597 Posts Posted: Jan 2, 2003 1:05am          I usually have two decks (red & blue), a coin purse with 4 halves, a half shell, three English pence, a Penny shell & a Johnson Products Chinese coin, and a few rubber bands on my wrist. And a stack of business cards. BCIII The Polite Side of Magic Risk Mitigation Associates Bottom Line Gurus I took the Pledge Garrett Nelson Special user 644 Posts Posted: Jan 2, 2003 1:46am          I have cards on me, but that is about it. And I only really have that if I am going to see friends. This is a dual purpose, though, as we play cards quite often. I always have some business cards in my wallet. Always. -Garrett Paul Menzel Special user Boise, Idaho 531 Posts Posted: Jan 2, 2003 3:11am          If I am wearing a coat/jacket I carry a standard deck of cards with the four aces on top. In my pants pockets I carry one or two TTs with silks in my right pocket and an empty TT in my left pocket. Four halves in my left pocket. Four rubber cockroaches in my right pocket and a spare in my left. FuriousGeorge New user 59 Posts Posted: Jan 2, 2003 3:17am          Thumb tip, Nickels to Dimes, Ball and Vase, Chinese Sticks, The Web, a Himber Wallet, Svengali deck bridge size (I have small hands), a yellow balloon, a red balloon, a blue balloon, a Zarrow Wallet, a hot rod (brass double color changing) and last but not least, the Harry Lorayne version of the Himber gaff using a cigarette case. I have an excellent tailor who modified all of my jacket pockets and I have a very detailed management system for my props. Isramagia Regular user Bayamon, Puerto Rico 114 Posts Posted: Jan 2, 2003 8:51am          It's really interesting what people carry for impromptu magic. I carry a TT, two rubber bands, a silver half and two English Pennies, three quaters (American) and sometimes a folding coin. Izzy Mr A New user 54 Posts Posted: Jan 2, 2003 3:28pm          I always have a deck of cards and a pair of rubber bands. Daniel J. Ferrara Jr. Regular user Long Island, New York 182 Posts Posted: Jan 2, 2003 10:04pm          A deck of cards, two rubber bands, a thumb tip, and two thimbles. I do agree with Noah J Levine that it is a little strange to just pull out thimbles, but then again, I never claimed to be normal. vinsmagic Inner circle sleeping with the fishes... 8606 Posts Posted: Jan 2, 2003 11:33pm          I carry a pair of dice..........

I also have some IT and prepared notes for counterfeit spectator in my wallet. Ben Cummings New user 66 Posts Posted: Jan 3, 2003 3:14pm          I carry a 'card to wallet' as my regular wallet, loaded with a NW and Kolossal Killer. Also, will occasionally carry B'wave since it packs small enough for my check-book sized wallet.

Paul Jester Special user UK 753 Posts Posted: Jan 7, 2003 7:12pm          TT and er... well, you'd be amazed how big a variety of tricks you can get out of this with stuff that's always lying around. Oh and if it's dark, I ditch the TT and grab my 2 D'lites. The rest of what I do is with whatever's lying around. Paul EranRaven New user 52 Posts Posted: Jan 9, 2003 8:52am          vinsmagic, what do you do with the pair of dice?
