I'm getting ready to do a big 'Street Magic' show, and I've hammered out some routines. I'd like some tips or advice on them if you don't mind...
1. 2 Manhole covers in the hand and one in the pocket. (Not sure if I can really do this one with out my manhole cover shell or not, cause the real slieght of hand version is a killer). 2. My Orange Cones and Newspaper Balls is pretty sweet. (I have thrown my back out a few times with the lifting of these heavy and bulky cones, but, it's this side of impossible when it's all going on!) 3. Trash Matrix. With just found objects in the gutter, i.e. cigarette butts, PBR caps, and the like, one can make some beautiful thing happen...RIGHT THERE ON THE STREET! 4. Bum levitation. I will probably scrap this cause it's a little too Criss Angel for me, but, you never know! Let me know what your favorite street magic tricks are and I'll see if I can add them to my show! |

The manhole covers effect has been done before. The biggest problem as I understand it is getting your pants pockets specially enlarged and reinforced. Also, spring steel clips to hold the pocket open is almost a must.
The cones effect has also seen some use. The secret is using specially made cones that are about 1/10 the weight! Watch out for the ink on the newspaper getting all over your hands and then transferring to the shiny surface of the cones. This can be a dead giveaway as to where the paper balls are. Matrix with trash objects is a new one. I would suggest getting a gamma globulun shot to avoid the problem of hepatitis. Consider also that animals in a magic show are always a show stopper...I suggest that you ring in some stuffed rats. Hope this helps,

ROTFL!! That's one of the best posts ever!
Seriously though, that Cones & Newspaper thing has some potential.
