Hello everyone! I hope everyone is doing fine. I recently got a new job as a bar back in a bar/restaurant and they would like me to try and do some tricks to the customers but heres the problems...

I can't carry anything on me. Well the reason being that I'm actually wearing a kilt and there isn't a pocket to carry cards/markers etc.

I was thinking of just doing Jim Pace Inviso Flash and that's it but what are some recommendations you have of great ones?

thank you!

If wearing a kilt, get a sporran. Should be able to carry cards, TT, coins, Hot Rod...
As far as effects go, what do you enjoy doing?

Also, there are plenty of tricks you can do with standard bar equipment- with glasses or mugs, coasters, spoons, salt and pepper shakers, pretzels and crackers. I can't recommend any because you have to do the research and provide a list of all the stuff that is available in YOUR situation that might be used for magic.

You can wear rubber bands and loops on your wrist;
You can wear a pk ring;
For impromptu effects get 'On the Spot' by Gregory Wilson and Dan Harlan's Impromptu Magic dvds

A sporran is the way to go for carrying stuff. Learn stuff with bar objects .

Wravyn: I enjoy all types of tricks but I do not have the necessary skills to perform majority of it...

yazz: I just looked into Loops and I think I should get that seems very good would you recommend Tarantula as well?

The bar itself is a great magic shop..napkins, olives, straws, change on the bar, etc.

By the way, if your looking into loops the 'Legacy Emergency Kit' by Subdivided Studios is the way to go - it teaches you how to tie your own loops on the fly and has some fantastic effects on there as well!

Charliemartin: I'm trying to practice Torn by Daniel Garcia with coasters

yazz: Thank you!

Also this is maybe a little off topic but I recently purchased some 3D Multiplying Bunnies by Goshman, I used to own a set but the new set is significantly off coloured to the point where I'd say "the bunnies look ugly" the store where I purchased from says its like that for the whole batch and I have to live with it so who is the manufacturer that I can contact with this problem?

I don't know why but I did loops yesterday at work more than 80% of the people see the loops probably because of my light skin. Other than that iI did a PK ring trick with the cup and coin routine but that's it

It is more likely that they saw the loops because of the lighting - make sure that there is no strong lighting behind you and if there is use your body to block it. When possible cast a shadow over the loop as they usually see light reflecting off the loop and not the loop itself. Also, a dark background is best.
Hope this helps

Doc Eason has some excellent videos specifically for Bar Magic. He's also a regular on "Reel Magic" magazine performing bar magic.

I got Cesar's "Anti-G" a few weeks ago. Perfect for the bar and takes up no space.

2 in the hand 1 in the sporran.

Bending.

Sugar effects can be sweet.

Dollar bills as alternate to t &r coaster.

Yazz Thanks for the tips! I just learned that they do reflect light as well as they break really easily even when I exercised it so I currently broke 4/5 loops in the pack haha.... Could you how me a way to tie my own loops? I bought the 30 feet spool elastic but don't know who to tie them.

Ihop and Harris thank you for your suggestions I shall thane a look at them once my exams are finished

For tying your own loops either
The Trintity System
Or if you're on a budget
The Million Dollar Knot DVD.

Thank you got the quick reply!
How about this one?
