Restaurants - spoon spinner. Just sit there and mess with the silverware and it will surely attract some attention.
General - coin roll. Just doing that, and then a couple of french drops or retention vanishes and a coin thru the arm does it every time...

I just think its overexposed but I cannot remember more then one time someone said they saw it before. I agree, it does invite attention. SOmetimes I make a gesture with my other hand as though I am causing it to ignite, then just give a smile.

For a perfect ice breaker I highly recommend the new trick from the enchantment called aquarius cap in bottle. It fits everything the first post asked for. It can be impromptu and is really amazing.

One of the best ice breaker, as elementary as it may sound, is the Magic Coloring Book!!!

What type of audience do you perform for evolve? I don't think the Magic Coloring Book would fly at a bar.

Kenton Knepper's "Kolossal Killer" is a great ice breaker. It's impromptu and you carry it in your wallet, so unless you're at the gym you can really do it anywhere.

Leland Stone makes a good point regarding the floating bill, in that it may be a hard effect to follow once the ice has been broken. Perhaps a modest TT vanish, one coin routine or muscle pass (if no cards allowed).

I would say a short cold read would work well.

In a street/busking situation appearing dove (hollow collapsable production dove) actually looks real up to a few feet away if manipulated well. I've used indoors before as well and it stops people. Followed by crushing it back up to repocket gets laughs.
