Ive been working a lot of resteraunts and bars lately and I really want to start adding some new routines. Here is what I'm currently performing.
ring routine rubberband routine 3 coins across double signed card triumph ambitious card Im looking for some new stuff that is easily resetable and preferably doesn't take up a lot of pocket space. And also anything that is very visual would be great because I've been working in this new nightclub and its Very Hard to speak cuz its soo loud. Thanks |

I worked in loud places also! I wear a name tag with the words, 'House Magician' and my name. When I go up to people I smile, nod my head and point at my tag. Then I hold up a card (playing card) with the words, 'Like to see some magic?' I have a few cards in my pocket with simple directions and stuff. It really works well in loud clubs. Without saying a word you are communicating! |

Work with a Thumb Tip is always good for visual/surrounded/no talking.
You can get some Blizzard Powder and use the TT as the loading device. Pour out some water from a bottle, drink a little, wave your hand over the cup, dump out the snow. It's highly visual and typically gets great reactions.
Think inside the box. . . it's less crowded.

Thanks Magical Dimensions I'm actually going to try that this week. And also the blizzard powder sounds very interesting could you point me to somewhere I can get it?

Try Holy Moly from Jay Snkey. It rests instant, and gets a great response.

Actually there are quite a few places, but I suggest Steven Spangler Science.
http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/product/1262 It's the largest amount for the value. Also, you should invest in a Vernet King Size TT, to exclusively be used for the powder. You may also want a pocket protector (available at your local Staples) to keep a bunch of it in your pocket and ready to go.

Here are some ideas for you...
Torn and restored card Production of a bottle or glass of liquid color changes w/ cards card to shoe, Johnny Ace Palmer or other selected card to impossible location such as paperclipped by Jay Sankey Invisible deck Coin under watch, Johnny Ace Palmer B-Wave by Phil Goldstein Jon Allen's Double Back Short Hop, by Mark Jensest Sweet n' Dough, by Dean Dill $100 bill switch All of these are easily re-set, and very visual Still want more ideas? Two great references for restaurant and strolling magic trick ideas: Jim Sisti's Magic Menu - "Tips" A booklet by Eric Henning

There are so many effects that will fit the bill that you want. The strongest effects that you can do are effects that happen in the spectator’s hands. These types of effects will always be remembered long after you are gone. ANY EFFECT that happens in the spectators hand will always seem more powerful then the best LOOK AT ME play with my cards stuff. Ray |

On that suggestion, you may want a Black Widow.
I would also suggest looking into some CTW effects that can be done indoors. I think someone said it already, but IT would be good if it's a club, since the lighting will be down. Also, a few PK effects might be in order.

Gink103,
Not sure where you're located, but here in the UK no one knows about D'lites. I use them at parties and nightclubs and they love them! |

I really like almost everything I've seen written about above. Another one to your list to be considered is Nana's Necklace by Dean Dill. It is a great effect that takes place in the spec's hands. You don't have to talk to perform it but I think it's fun to explain that it is a trick that's over 500 years old and in a world where the latest gadget is old before you get it home, that's pretty impressive.

Yes, Nana's necklace is another good suggestion. Dean Dill solved the problem of set up so it's perfect for strolling!
