A bicycle deck with a three extra cards... a double, and then two prepared to do a card ward (aka, voodoo zone)
An invisible deck if I'm not wearing wranglers (back pockets are too tight) Four quarters for some basic sleights and coin matrix... I used to be prepared at all times with some IT, but I have run out and yet to restock... If I'm going to a resturant, I grab a prepared sugar pack for a coin into sugar pack, and I need to get some salt shakers for a salt/coffee creamer switch... Always ready for a balducci, and in the winter a twisted arm...

I nearly always carry a pen (for Wilson's ReCap), a regular deck of cards, and at least one half dollar. If there's a more than likely chance I'll be doing something, I'll bring a packet trick or two, along with some more coins.

Everyone carries their wallet most of the time you go anywhere. So there'll always be StarGazer, a small piece of flash paper (sealed in a small zip-lock bag), a mismade dollar bill (HK $20), and a prediction card. Most other everyday items you really don't need to particularly carry as common objects like pens, coins,are easy to obtain. I never leave home without my StarGazer.
If you cannot win, make the one ahead of you break the record.

A deck of cards and two dice. Got to love that dice routine, thanks Bob Sheets.
Best, Brad

I usually don't have anything but a ring on my finger. If someone asks I'll take it off say, "Hold this and I'll do one." When I go to put it in their hand it's gone and I quickly blow it out my nose. Old fashioned? Yes. Cheesy? Yes. Reactions? Very often. Get's the job done? Yep.
If there's a tree or bush around I'll do a spongeballs routine with leaves. If someone has lipstick or coins or a pen I'm REALLY set. So usually I don't carry around props, I usually just borrow stuff.
So I was sittin naked in a beanbag chair the other day eatin cheetos...

I do Color Monte, rubberbands, sponge balls or Stolen Cards. RECAP is also a good very quick, none require and extensive setup. If not prepared at all then a coin flurry, with coin ending up on spectator's shoulder.
No matter How much you know you can never stop learning.

I usually have rubberbands clipped to my pocket knife. However, they rot quickly in LA air, so they aren't always usable when I want them. On occasion, they have even been used as (gasp) rubberbands.
I often carry a subset of Dreamweaver. One day, however, the G***ED pin got open and pinned me pretty darn solidly, while driving. I've got to say that that beats a cell phone for distracting! If I have them now, they're usually pinned inside my cap where they can't do as much harm. I keep a small coin purse in the car with cards prepped for Card Warp, a packet for Brother John Hammond's Twins, and four large coins (currently Australian 50 cent pieces) for Eugene Burger's three coin mystery. Having that handy to grab on impulse when heading in for dinner is handy, but I wouldn't want to carry it on me 100% of the time. Now the extremely long ropes I use for Prof's Nightmare (the longest is about eight feet, which pretty much convinces people I am nuts) are a bit too long to keep on hand...

I'll borrow four quarters for a coins across and then do a one coin routine.
By the way for all you CMH lovers, the routine was originally published by Harry Lorrayne in Tarbell #7 under a different name. CMH is just Ammar's presentation of a much older trick. |

The only thing on my person is a small pair of dice which I keep in my coin purse. I may occasionally have a deck of cards and a pocketful of balloons as well.
I've done the "Pair-a-Dice" routine from Classic Secrets of Magic for years. Should probably switch to the Bob Sheets' version, but it's hard for this old dog to learn new tricks. My deck is usually set up in the Aronson stack. Balloons are great as an ice breaker for kids. When I'm traveling alone and have to eat in a restaurant, I make a balloon for the waitress and suddenly I have all the "friends" I want. Balloons have also gotten me upgraded from coach to first class on planes several times over the years. Dennis Loomis

For me, impromptu is impromptu. I always wear a Time Machine watch anyway, and in my wallet there is Kollosal Killer (was not a fan of Heirloom) but apart from that I'll do something with borrowed stuff, a drink, pulse stopping, mindreading, make the lines on their palm move, make them forget their name, their cash, etc.
Truly impromptu is when I've gone down the local store with a hangover and I have NOTHING with me and the lady behind the counter says "read my mind" and I can. I think this ability to perform anywhere and anyhow is the difference between magician and person who does magic.
