I don't carry anything in my pants pockets because I like to turn the front pockets out and tell everyone I will do my impression of an elephant. LOL But seriously, I carry 5 nickles and 4 pennies for coins thru table and sympathetic coins. I have a coin purse with four half dollars and shell for coins across. A few packet tricks(Doubleback, Capitulating Cards, Marked Cards, and Ultimate Backflips) and a regular deck with one r/b db card.

Probably been mentioned. But if you have the Invisible Deck you are set to go. Also if you have the room a Stebbins stack deck with the Invisible Deck can be unbelievable.
If I were to agree with you. Then we would both be wrong. As of Apr 5, 2015 10:26 pm I have 880 posts. Used to have over 1,000

A deck of cards, it's easy to remember and gives me a wide selection of effects.

I usually forget to bring anything else.

ALWAYS Carry?
Money, rubber bands, sanada, business card, 3 card monte, 2 gimmicks it all fits in my wallet. I also have a couple of gimmicked credit cards for fun.
Routines I perform are
1. $50 production
2. Crazy Mans Handcuffs
3. 3 card monte - in their hands version
4. Matchbox mambo - if I can find matchboxes in the restaurant
5. Standing Card (Gaeten bloom effect)
This gives me 10 minutes of "show us a trick" if I get asked.
Used to carry the pothole trick also.

To be honest, the only things I "always" carry, are a pack of cards and a few good-sized coins.

I'm ALWAYS wearing rubber bands for "Crazy Man's Handcuffs".
I try to carry spongeballs/sponge bunnies with me.
I've recently been wearing STS and...
I carry a Hot Rod or Scotch & Soda, sometimes.

So...I guess those would be my top five, even if STS doesn't come out of my pocket. Also..."abercrombe" that is a disgusting/funny "elephant impression" comment.

In my pocket- A pack of cards and my wallet.

In the wallet- 2 rubber bands, 4 halves and 1 English penny, a small envelope w/ a prediction, and (soon) Extreme Burn.

1. B'Wave (my "quick trick")
2. Entourage (for when I have more time)
3. Deck of Cards (I do Dr. Daley's Last Trick most often, though.)
4. Skinner's 3 Card Monte

I'll be getting NFW soon and maybe a longer trick by John Bannon, so let's see if those make it into the "always on me" category.

I don't have NFW, but if it plays like the demos I've seen, it should be "always on you." Smile
