I have a new idea for a street magic effect. Why not use doves on the street. I mean your walking down the street see someone with a news paper take the paper crumble it all up then tear and produce a dove. using a dove harness of course. does anyone think this could work. I think it would look likea miracle.
Presentation is 99% of all magic

I used to know a pair of magicians that did dove work ... nearly everywhere. Their dove was almost always with them, they produced him at bars ... the mall in DC ... while shopping ... anywhere. The bird was very attached to them and seemed to enjoy the changing environments.
One night in Baltimore, they were mugged ... the muggers demanded their coins and cards and some other tricks, but when asked for the bird Todd refused. The muggers gave in and let them keep the bird and didn't shoot them. Their bird didn't have trimmed feathers, but their bird was very loyal and attached. If you want to work with your bird outdoors on the street, I would assume you have a very tame bird that is very loyal and attached - I personally don't believe in trimming their feathers, and my doves never seemed to actually enjoy doing magic (which is why I retired them). The most important question is how your dove feels about it, as magicians we should not assume that all animals want to be super stars. Traveling around in the pocket of a magician all day takes a special bird. If he squirms and tries to get out every chance he can, then obviously he doesn't want to do it and you should respect that. Because that's what your talking about, you can't do street magic with a bird cage behind you ... you are talking about having that bird on your person the entire day. Some birds enjoy being safe inside a pocket, others don't. From the nights I went out with them, I would guess 2/3rd's of the birds night was in the pocket. Once produced, he would sit on the shoulder for a while to get some air and interact with people, then back to the pocket he went. JoeJoe
