For what it’s worth, when table-hopping, my teaspoons are made up in bundles of eleven, held by an elastic band and carried in my trouser pocket. (Hey, I bet THAT looks good!) The top one is just a plain ol’ spoon, then a pre-s*******, then plain and so on. This means after each table I strip the top two spoons off, and slip them into my jacket pocket. This leaves me with three spoons, and a series of bends, for the “top” table. That’s for table-hopping when the tables are well-spaced. Each table gets two, maybe three effects, then I’m off.
The biggest thrill for me, however, is towards the end of the evening – whether it’s been mix and mingle or the show – when people seek me out. I always have something for them; the most appreciative section of the audience. Best wishes, Drew |

I guess it would depend on if I were just walking around in an everyday fashion or if it were at a formal show. I do my center tear more than anything else and use whatever paper is available. (I know I have already mentioned using magazine inserts on planes.) I like bending effects, but would probably just bend a penny if I could only do 3 effects. Finally, I would probably do my watch effect. I actually do that a lot in impromptu situations. It is like a giant stage production done up close. Notice that I have given you 3 items that I could do anywhere, anytime without any props being carried around or in ones pockets. Richard |

The watch routine. It was my birthday recently (50, if you must know) and my wife gave me a lovely Kenneth Cole designer watch. My reaction – “Wooo-hooo –it’s got a double stop on the stem for the date!”
Big mistake! Drew |
